It all started with a staged intervention last weekend at a cookout we were having at the house for family members. The wife, daughter and a group of in-laws cornered me and told me I was being selfish - I was jeopardizing their safety. The nagging and "attitude" had been going on for months prior. I once again explained my position but no amount of evidence or logic offered up was going to change any minds. My entire immediate and extended family has bought the narrative and drank the Kool-Aid utterly and completely. There's no convincing anyone otherwise. Today, the wife informs me that she wants me to move out of the house that I worked my ass off for decades to provide because I don't care enough about her to take the vax. It's a sad day but I'm not wavering. I'm packing my shit and seeking alternate living arrangements. I did inform every one of them not to call me when their health starts to go south in the near future....which was met with rolled eyes and an ambivalent shrug. They all think I've gone bananas.

I have two grown kids who are out on their own. I'm moving out to keep the peace and quite frankly, the wife wouldn't know how to function if she were the one to leave. Frankly, I'm worn down and just sick of the nagging. It's a really hollowed-out feeling. I'll pursue whatever legal channels are necessary if/when it comes down to finalizing the split in order to preserve my share of the assets. Once I leave, I won't return.
I would get legal advice before you move out, as this may give her a financial advantage.
Not may, will 100%
On one hand I agree with all the people telling you to make her move out (and I'm a woman).
On the other hand, when I left my marriage I was the top earner and made a much larger financial contribution to the property we had, but I just wanted out, so I left it all behind and he got most of what I'd bought and paid for. However, my freedom was much more important to me than the price I paid. I've been entirely happy with that decision, things worked out wonderfully for me, and now my life is the best it's ever been.
I wish you all the best sorting through and resolving your situation.
Lord Jesus I ask you to send the kindest angels to help walk this man through his tough and strenuous journey ahead. I pray that you help him keep his mind clear and find peace through all this hardship. Amen
I am so sorry you are going through this. You sound like a dedicated and loving father/husband and I am so sorry you have been cast away like a used toy. I miss my dad, he passed away in 2019 before the madness. I admire you and pray you have peace.
That is so kind and protective of you, and honestly, how men are supposed to be with their families. But maybe it's time for her to learn how to function on her own. If you refuse to leave and leave the ball in her court, she will be forced to decide if she is a woman or a mouse and if wreaking such havoc is worth it. She sounds pretty darn hard headed, but consider this. Look at how many people in this thread advised you not to be the one to leave. Please consider that advice.
I bet it's already too late. Most of the time, someone posting about something has already committed to their decision.
Yeah, I think you're right.
That's her fucking problem, not yours. She's not entitled to your home for being a helpless child.
Sorry you're going through this. Just tragic all of these family splits. They aren't forever, and this will pass... And all of this division will end. But plenty of us get how wearisome it can be in the meantime. Praying for you, fren ❤️
Any good divorce lawyer will tell you to NEVER move out
Leaving doesn't look good in the legal system's opinion you should consult attorney(s) a phone call is free
Keeping the peace will never work and you’re only harming yourself (in the immediate AND distant future)
She's already proven she doesn't care about you. Time for you to stop caring about her.
You've done nothing wrong here. Stop blaming yourself.
She's the one who doesn't like you (or rather your lack of vaxxing) anymore so let her be the one to leave.
If she can't handle it, that's on her.
If she wouldn't know how to function on her own, then she will likely back down when you tell her that since she's the one not willing to live with you then she should be the one to move out. If your house is big enough, perhaps you could both live there and avoid contact as much as possible for now. As this plays out further, she might come around.
Huge mistake to leave! You’re letting her win my guy
I’m telling you, leaving will only HURT your “share of the assets”
Do not leave now or you will cripple your leverage financially,
I hate to break it to you, but you might not need the lawyer.
After she got her second jab, did she have a day in bed where she was ill?
You’ve heard all the comments already, but really....? You’re going to bitch out? Amazing

Do not leave the house.
Then it is nothing but hollow threats.
DO NOT MOVE OUT! She will never do it.
But if YOU leave it is YOU that left, not her.
EXACTLY. SHE WILL NOT KNOW HOW TO FUNCTION. IN FOUR HOURS SHE WILL BE CALLING, "Umm honey so ummm first off I'm sorry for acting how I did...."
DO NOT LEAVE. SHE WANTS TO PULL THE TRIGGER SHOW HER THE DOOR
WAIT WAIT WAIT..... SHE CAN EASILY GO STAY WITH THE PART OF THE FAMILY TELLING HER VACCINATIONS ARE SO COOL.
TELL HER SHE CAN GO STAY WITH THOSE CRINGEY FAGGOTS
