OP, I have only one tip. You need to get up earlier than you do so that you can also finish the cooking and laundry. Do your parents stay with you? |
| So, you go to a lawyer and follow through on the divorce she wants. |
Affair is a possibility. Anyway, you and your kids don't deserve this. I would document everything |
| what does she do with her day after she gets up? |
|
I know what happened only because I have been in your shoes, OP.
You don’t think she should sleep in, so you were being passive aggressive and not trying to be quiet when she was sleeping this morning. I am not saying that she should be sleeping, but the way to deal with it is to talk about it and make a different plan, not making a bunch of noise when she is sleeping. Then when she was upset, you didn’t engage and tell her that you want to redivide household responsibilities. Instead, you acted like she was crazy for noticing the passive aggressive behavior. She got frustrated because you wouldn’t engage, and she upped the ante, then threw the coffee cup across the room. Now you get to be the good guy! This isn’t good for your marriage, OP. You need to change the way you deal with conflict. Be direct. If there is something you aren’t happy about, bring it up. |
| Dcum can be such a disappointment. The answers would be SO difference if this was the wife posting. You guys should really be ashamed by your double standards. |
Exactly. They would be telling OP to get his affairs in order, meet with an attorney, and so on. Why is it OK for men to accept this abuse? Double standard. |
Hah... the DW threw a coffee cup across the room and smashed it, but it's the DH's fault? Such a double standard... |
| Plus one that you woke her deliberately because you don’t want her sleeping in or staying home and you’re not man enough to tell her that. If you get a divorce you’ll need to pay her and you’ll still need to get the kids ready in the morning some days. |
I’m the DW, and I know it’s my fault when I have done this to my husband. He didn’t throw things, but he got angry, and I acted like I have no idea what it was about. |
You post in every thread, and it’s never true. |
I was you. I stuck it out for the kids for years. We are divorced now. Things are better. Get out These lazy women who want to "stay at home" and expect their husbands to pick all the slack are just nuts. |
Yup. His whole day has been derailed. Now he won’t get to volunteer at the soup kitchen after he takes his parents to their chemotherapy appointments this afternoon. Yes - BOTH parents have cancer and OP is their only support system. |
I believe OP because this was my mom growing up. She would do this after every little thing. She is bi-polar and refuses to be medicated. I think you need to get your kids away from this behavior, OP. |
| You again, OP? |
