Suffering

Why do we suffer when we aren't physically hurting? This is a deep answer and will require some contemplation to confirm - from Chapter 11, Verse 5 of the ancient tome - The Ashtavakra Gita:

"It is worry that gives birth to suffering, nothing else. The one who knows this firmly is free from worry, happy and calm, all longings having perished."

I was always worried that I couldn't get rid of her without losing my stuff.

I used to be that way, too.
Over the years of being married (20 and counting) I have distilled down to such a state that nothing of "mine" is anything she'd want. Anything of "ours" she can have with my blessing.
Sure, she could decide to be petty but she's worth a shit ton more than I am and has much more to "lose" in a contested divorce, so I'm not worried.

Mine doesn’t have the combo to the gun safe, so there is that.

Oh, hell no. Of course not. My wife only has access to the Glock 26 in the hideaway compartment in my night stand. The others are safe (pun intended) from her meddling.
