Riled up

By Anonymous - 20/01/2024 23:00 - United Kingdom

Today, my wife blamed me for the washing machine breaking. When I told her it wasn’t me because I haven’t used it this week, she immediately changed direction and started blaming me for not doing enough around the house, which is utter bullshit. I know I do my share, I think she just wanted to fight. FML
I agree, your life sucks 575
You deserved it 136

Same thing different taste

This is how it started for me. My wife continually found reasons to complain and fight, egged on by her mother, who lived with us. She finally convinced herself to leave me and move out. I hope you fare better.

Both of you need to sit down and talk. Something is clearly bothering her royally, and it may or may not have to do with housework. If you are doing your share, politely communicate this. If not, see how you might be able to help. See a counselor if you have to. But tell her you don't appreciate being spoken to like she is trying to pick a fight. Tell her you love and respect her and want to resolve this like adults.

I see in another connent you said your wife is the sole breadwinner. You needed to be betty mother ******* crocker.

You don't do your share. You're doing about 20% of the work. Did you cook all the meals? For everyone? And then do all the dishes, everyday? Did you buy all the groceries? Did you sweep, mop, clean toilets, vacuum every week for years? Did you pay all the bills, set the appointments, make sure all the forms are filed? Did you wash the bedding? Change the sheets? etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

And how would you know that, as a totally random outsider?
