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

There are two ways about it. Either you accept it or you don't! I can't believe I'm commenting on an FML! I'm obviously trashed at this hour! Ha ******* ha!!

Excuse me, but as a double major in college, I work 50-60 hours a week. If she's full time, then she works at least 35. College isn't rainbows and daisies, it's a job with no pay. How about you treat her like an equal and it wouldn't be such a problem.

Unless she's working a job too tell that lazy bitch to do some work or better yet cough on all her food you serve her while you're sick then refuse to help her when she get's sick

She should have jumped in to help if not take over as you were sick! She needs to wake up! If not get someone else!

@#89 OP posted that she gave her reason as being tired. Regardless of her being tired, though, she should've got off her ass and taken care of shit. If she had a big college project due, then some of the stuff could've waited, but there's no way a man with the flu who's been working should have to take care of all that shit. I would NEVER let my husband do all that. I'd tuck his ass into bed and start making homemade soup for him while keeping the kids quiet so he could get better. What the hell is wrong with women today? Oh wait. We're in Generation Me where no one really gives a **** about the next person.
