Been there Nurse. This is pretty much how mine went except that our issues were her health issues.
All she had to do was take care of herself and she refused. It caused her increasingly worse and worse health issues. I tried for years to get her to care about herself.
She was committing passive suicide.
I finally realized I couldn't save her so I had to save myself. I refused to wait around and watch her slowly kill herself, so I moved on. Worst pain of my life.
She died at 49 a few years after we split.

Oh my goodness, that had to be just horrible. I'm so sorry you went through that. And yes, it is painful to really realize that you do NOT have control over others, even those you love with all your heart. Even when you think "if they just did this things would be better", "why can't they see this would make it better"
I'm really wrestling with keeping my focus on me and what I need to do vs. what he is doing right now. I hope that gets better with time.

For me, there was a moment where it clicked. Like a switch flipped in my brain where I was like OK you have done everything you can do for her, time to focus on yourself. It became much easier then. Like a massive weight was just gone.
In my case, it was when I knew in my heart that I had done everything I could do to set her up on the path to success and it was 100% on her to choose to walk that path or not.
At that moment I started focusing on myself and never looked back.

Did she drink herself to death or something like that? No need to answer if you'd prefer not to.

Had diabetes and refused to eat right or even take medication. Eventually caused her all kinds of other health issues. Caused her to have a stroke, then almost had another one. I happened to be home and caught the signs of the second one and got her to the ER.
That is the day that I realized she had stopped taking all of her medications months before, and also the day that I decided that was enough, time to get out.
A massive stroke is what eventually killed her.

That’s how my marriage went down.
I wasn’t a Saint, and I did sometimes take things for granted, but I damn sure tried a hell of a lot harder to make it work than she did. At some point, you realize that the two of you are playing tug of war against one another when you should be on the same team pulling the rope.
