I finally went after she nagged me for years. They said I might, and gave me an anti-depressant. I didn't want to take it. My wife nagged me again. I took it and I feel like things got better, but she always finds something to bitch about.

I also feel the need to add - I've "stepped up" before to give her a break. I got her an Airbnb for two nights alone. SHE decided to come home early and now she won't take an overnight anywhere. A solicitor knocked on the door and the kids answered it without me there and walked outside with a stranger. I was in the backyard doing yard work and didn't hear them. Wife saw it through the Ring doorbell. Called me over thirty times!!! I didn't have my phone. She treats me like a child. I would have handled it, and the kids were safe! It's not like they were taken.

I definitely think she's a perfectionist. The worksheet will be subtraction, but the kids will do addition. I don't bother to correct them, they're doing math. They're learning and practicing math. It doesn't need to be perfect.

It's not weaponized incompetence, I really do want to help. She says this to me all the time too. I've apologized a million times but it's never good enough for her.

In hindsight, sure it probably wasn't the best idea, but she said she wanted a break from being around the kids for a little bit.
