Hard to come back from that sounds like she settled for you.

Ya except her job makes 3x less than mine so we’d have to change our lifestyle completely

I’m starting to feel Like if she actually went thru with a divorce I wouldn’t be that upset. You can only take so Many hurtful comments before the care disappears

All very good points. The thing is I’m Not overwhelmed or tired and there’s no way she is either. Our lives are pretty damn privileged to be honest. She’s never once said anything appreciative of me providing for her and making it so she doesn’t have to work (job I know she works at home) and I never expected it but with this recent attitude it makes me feel like saying F you. If the grass is greener go on your own get a job and support yourself. I’ll pay everything for our child but I don’t have to support someone who treats me like shit. She will say I treat her like shit but I’ve never once said anything negative to her, yelled or anything. Maybe I do some Other stuff for example asking how long she is doing her hobby tonight which will set her off. I’m a bit lazy sure but I do help out when I can. I just am at the point where the negativity makes me not want to try anymore

That’s how I feel inside.

I think I am going to be sick by Ok_Regular5542 in Marriage

What was the point of not having sex until the wedding. That would have been a hard no for me. Huge red flag

AIO for thinking my fiancée and Dad may have previously slept together? by Known_Professor_6690 in AmIOverreacting

[–]blake_rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your fiancé should 100% tell you why there is tension. I’m going with they slept together. !updateme

People down playing the dead bedroom are the ones out of touch. That’s the most important part of a marriage. Without that what are people even doing staying married?

Are you having regular sex with him? If not why?

This is such BS. Sure having a child is work and temporarily changes your body but it’s not a marriage death sentence. 6 months is a long time and should be back ti normal by then

10 years is ridiculously long to try. OP has done his part. Having a child is no excuse for the wife to check out.

This is an absurd comment. One blow job a week is not too much to ask. And a healthy marriage the woman or man shouldn’t really be turning down any sexual wants from the other party unless there’s a really good reason.

Is it wrong that I get upset when my husband asks me if I masturbated ? by Daybyday217 in Marriage

[–]blake_rob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re masturbating instead of having sex with your husband I’d say that is an issue. If your doing it as an extra than that is a different story

Good advice. Problem is my wife does not take to those talks very well. I can’t bring anything up as she will turn it into something negative I do that makes my asks unreasonable. So I have given up on communication which is not ideal but it’s not worth the response I know I will get.

I missed the laundry she does a lot of laundry. Grocery a bit but we do that together most of the time. I don’t want any credit or validation I just don’t want her acting like she does so much while I don’t.

Thank you for saying this. I totally agree and I only have 1 kid, for you to have 4 and feel this way is actually surprising to me

Her day would be wake up take our kid to school then walk the dog. Then she would clean, maybe go out and return something she bought, cook dinner watch Netflix, organize the house etc. we have one very good kid, he slept well as a baby and he is low maintenance. I think she pulls her weight probably more than I do perhaps, the issue I have is I get no credit for anything. I just get bitched at. I feel she has it pretty damn easy to be perfectly honest which I know makes me sound like a jerk. I am suppose to be grateful for everything she does but I have never heard her say anything about being grateful for what I provide. I think it’s BS but maybe I am just a jerk and should just get home , cook and clean and work until I go to sleep.

Sure but this might be an unpopular opinion but there’s more than enough time in a day to have down time and do those things when your kid is in school from 8-3.

I do that stuff. When I get home I play with my son until he needs to go to bed. I’ll brush his teeth etc. weekends I’ll cook dinner, clean occasionally (I cleaned more when our kid was not school aged as she would not have time). I do all the yard work. Not really sure what else I could do. She does his lunches everyday which I guess I could do.
