would you call this grounds for the big D?

My wife hardly answer her phone when I call. She does not pay for the service and has not paid for her own phone I covered all of that. Got her a phone because she said we needed to have more lines of communication. I call her when she i know she is not at work and not sleeping and she said she does not answer in front of company because it is rude. She has one friend. Complains about her family calling when she is trying to sleep and see her answer their calls all the time.

Reason for this rant. she recently called me to tell me her car is not working, I now live in another Town 2 hours away there is not much I can do. She told me the symptoms and I told her what i think it could be, but not certain due to the fact I can not see what it is doing. Told her what I would do she did not like anything I suggested, and it took her a long time to get it back home. we left the conversation when she said she was going to the number of her mother, which lives a stones throw away, number of her Mechanic. Told her to keep me posted.

I made a few call of friends of mine to get their take, some work turning wrenches, they told me what they thought. when I tried to call her back no answer, Text her, even though she hates long texts, she still has not responded. I have called four times and texted once with in the period of 24 hours. Still no call back. I am not surprised she does this all the time but she often tells me to call her because it shows I care, and I have told her many times she never answers or calls back and it aggravates me so that is why i do not bother, and I do not care for her not answering or returning calls.

So my question who would put up with this? Tired of trying to make this thing "work".

Update:

She never answers calls text and e-mails in less than a three day fashion for the last 8 years.

I visit her 2 weekends an month leaving on friday after work. she visits once a month comes late on Sat leaves on Sunday more like 28 hours.

She wants my name off certain accounts I started before we got married.

I buy her food when she is in town/ when I visit to help fill the fridge at her place, she gets me subway.

she lives in a metro area, I am new to my rural and she often complains about the restaurants here.

When I had car repairs she has not helped. took 10 calls then a call to her mother to have her pick me up at the car shop. one time I had to walk home in July miles to my home because she would not answer the phones, home and cell.

    Is this really the only issue? I kind of doubt it. Living apart is pretty tempting to get another life and the idea that you pay for her phone service and so she should answer the phone is kind of off to me. If your money and your homes are separate, who knows what she is doing, but not answering her phone may be the least of your problems.

    I get the feeling there is way more to making it "work" than just her answering the phone. NO, I think this one incident should not be a reason to get a divorce, but I sense way more going on there and the rest of it might be.

    No one should stay in a situation that makes them unhappy. Period!

    Is it me or does it sound like she's using you?
