Today, I have the flu. I had to wash the dishes, cook dinner, take out the trash, and take care of the laundry, all while my wife sat around watching TV, because she was "too tired". I work 8 hours a day. She's a college student. She doesn't see what's so unfair about this. FML

Today, I woke up with the flu. My wife thinks I'm faking it so we don't have to go on date night, even though I've been on the toilet all day. FML

Today, I came home after ten hours at work to find my unemployed wife and 4 kids sprawled out watching TV waiting for me to get home and cook for them. I had to wash all the dishes first because they didn't feel like getting up or helping. FML

Never enough

Today, after weeks of my girlfriend complaining that I don't help with the chores, I secretly took a day off work to deal with some that were piling up. When she got home, all she could do was complain about how I hadn't done more. FML

Affection breakdown

Today, my wife can't be bothered to do anything that isn't work, talk about her work, and sit on the sofa. Then she complains that I don't show any affection, when she can be bothered to even talk to me. FML

Tradwife blues

Today, my husband and I are sick. He keeps whining about how bad he feels. I'm just as sick, as well as 7 months pregnant. I've not only been taking care of his whiny ass: I've cooked, cleaned, and gone to the store several times because the tissues we had were too rough on his nose. FML

Living his best life

By shotdown - 02/12/2015 20:45 - United States - San Francisco

Today, after being sick all day with the flu, I asked my husband to wash the dishes after I went to bed. He said he couldn't because he had a large, important project for work that needed to get done. I woke up a couple of hours later to find him smoking weed on the couch and watching cartoons. FML

Today, I've been bedridden with the flu for two weeks. My boyfriend only got concerned because I haven't done any laundry, and was worried about what the girls at the coffee shop across from work would think if he turned up wearing the same clothes two days in a row. FML

Today, after almost a week of being bed-ridden with a bad flu, my mom told me it was my job to clean the house. When I told her I still had a fever and didn't feel well, she looked at me and said in an understanding voice "It's okay honey, you can do it slowly." FML

Messy situation

By Need help - 16/11/2023 15:00 - United States

Today, my wife called me at work to yell at me because the house is a mess. She hasn't helped me clean in over two years, and when I ask for help, there's always a new excuse, headache, tired from work, stress, etc. FML

Today, I woke up early to do the dishes and clean up, after having people over yesterday. Now my wife is mad at me because I didn't stay in bed with her longer. FML

And yet you do all the work anyways. It's a shock why you're her bitch.

Uni life is a joke I study full time and work full time. Anyone saying its hard better be studying a course that's 6 years plus. Otherwise you are just lazy.

Last term I was taking 7 courses, 3 of which had 3 hour labs once a week. I was on campus from 8:30-4 every day, plus I had around an hour commute. I spent probably another 5-8 hours a week studying and doing assignments. It would've been difficult to work part time and impossible to work full time. I'm not sure what you're majoring in that you can actually work 30+ hours a week, but it doesn't sound like something very difficult, no offense.

It depends what you study and how seriously you do it. I study full time, and I seriously can't see where I could put a part-time job in my schedule, let alone full time!

Damn! Sounds exactly like my husbands exes, except for the college part. I feel bad for you. She won't change either. My husband at the time went to work, did laundry, cleaned the house, did dishes, did the grocery shopping and cooking. And when they had children he had to take over when he came home.

Just remember that there are three sides to every story. His, hers and brute fact ( reality).

If you had the flu, you could not do all those chores.

Not that this isn't unfair of her because it is definitely not justifiable. But, being a college student isn't as easy as this post implies. But still, fyl OP.
