Wife wants me to apologize

[Anonymous]

OP, what exactly is the tenant issue? And how have you both communicated about it so far ?

Um, no, she should write her own damn cover letter. Cover letters are not that hard to write, and she's of the age where she needs to learn how to write one.

I would gladly write a cover letter for my kids: better internship, better job, easier future. I hate cover letters and I never read them when hiring.

What I read, is that you don't want to take ownership of anything, do anything for your family, kids included and are a constant emotional drain. She would be better off if you kept walking and didn't come home.

Disagree. My wife benefits from my work income, but I would never ask her to get involved when I was having a tough time -- particularly if she was opposed to my entering that particular line of work in the first place.

Then you don't have a partnership of any kind.

True, his wife makes major financial commitments and exposes the family to liability then realizes she is too much of a child to play business lady.

OP stop sock puppeting.

Not OP, nice try. I feel sorry for your husband if that's the partnership you have.

You feel sorry for my husband because we help each other when called upon? Because we don't hold grudges or enact dramatic scenes on the side of the road? Because we don't hold each other in contempt and call each other names? Okay, I'll let him know he has your pity for the fact that he's a grownup in a happy relationship.

While your at it let him know you know you thinks its perfectly acceptable to make major financial commitments, like mortages against his wishes/opinion/advice and expose the family to liability then toss it in his lap if you are not adult enough to manage it. And most importantly call him names for thinking you should step up and handle something as trivial a tenant. Oddly, you dont have a problem with his childbride calling him names for expecting her to be an adult. Yes , i feel for him if you view op's wife as displayng those qualities you claim to value.

Wow. You’ve never asked her to change her schedule bc you had to work late or had something come up? You’ve never asked for her input on anything at work?

If OP's wife asks him to rearrange his schedule so she could deal with the tenant, I think OP should do so. And, if she asks for advice on how to deal with the tenant, he should offer his thoughts. But dealing with the tenant is on her.

I hope you never complain about your clueless boss or the millennials who don't know anything because this is how they get to where they are.

It was her decision to invest in real estate. I wNted nothing to do with it. On point 2, she says I need to write college DD’s cover letter for an internship. I respectfully disagreed. Then when she got all backseat driver on me after I picked her up from work, I pulled over and asked her to drive and I walked home. I guess she missed her award for best actress in a drama!

I don't need to read further than "the wife" to know that you're an a hole and should apologize to your wife.

True I find American women as so child like its better to stroke their egos and humor them.

He asked me to thank the semiliterate misogynist for his sympathy. So thanks.

1. I would agree o help with the tenant under the condition that this rental investment would be dissolved.


2. DOes your daughter ant help getting this internship? If she does I think she should still write the cover letter,, but you would be happy to give her feedback after she's written a first draft. The writing center at her college can also help with this.

3. I think this was a reasonable response if you were able to pull over safely.

4. Your wife seems abusive. Your child is in college it might be time to move on.

Best post yet.

Yes, & he should also write all his DD's papers for her. If it helps her get good grades, why not?

Your children can't even/too lazy to put together a good cover letter. Mommy/Daddy has to do it for him. Which, by the way, he's holding out as his own work, sort of like cheating. And you think this is a recipe for an easier future? Are you going to write his memos and do his presentations for him too? Thanks for the laughs.

Thats odd what i read was a wife makes major financial commitments like mortgages/homes and exposes her family to liability against her spouses wishes/opinion then is not grown up enough to handle a very simple and very common issue with the very investment she unilaterlaay made. So her respnse is to call names. Who wont take ownership? Seriously you have csome strange view of ownership. She cant handle her rental, yet she would be better off with him walking. Maybe the lady should grow up.
