You gotta take a field trip to Riften and chat it up with some priestess. She sends you on a few Fed Ex/Dr phil missions all over Skyrim, and at the end of the mini quest line your reward is the ability to give half your possessions away to someone who doesn't really help you in anyway and never stops telling you your wrong. Not even any sixytime moments, heavy asset risk, and no prize.
Been married, have we? 'Cuz this sounds exactly like my experience(s) in the field. But I have to know, how did you manage to only give away half of your possessions? I was left with nothing, twice. Not in the game, of course, in the game you can get away with accidentally shoving a sword through beloved's gullet. Not so much in real life.
