The phone would not stop ringing

[Anonymous]

So, I am in the middles of an interview this afternoon, and my cell starts to ring off the hook. When I finally answer it, it the wife! She is screaming at me sbout why didn't I pick up muppets goddamned phone. So, I said is someone dead, injured, were you in a car accident? No? Well, I am glad you and everyone else is find. We can talk when I come home.

The crisis of the moment? My DD's two-week progress report shows a C+ in Spanish. I know the poor girl is walking into her mkther's shitstorm the day before Thanksgiving. I feel when I come my job will be to tell DD that I know Mom probably reamed your ass so I won't and then take her out for ice cream so we can talk.

No, I answered it when the interview was over. Note: not a job interview but an interview with a business journalist.

You are awesome!!! Keep up the good work dad! Your daughter needs you. Your wife will get hers when your daughter gets older and cannot stand the very sight of her. Protect your daughter by sticking with that horrible shrew until your daughter heads off to college and then ditch that bitch. Then her hysterical ass can live a lonely life screaming at her poodle.

That's increasingly the plan, although I wish I didn't have to give her any of my pension.

Are you the DH who constantly posts trying to convince us his wife is a crazy bitch and he and his teenage daughter are oh-so-close (she hates crazy mom too) but never has an answer as to why he doesn't leave or do something?

I'm not getting on the crazy bus with you again.

how often are you going to post about your wife's verbal abuse of your daughter for getting bad grades and not do something about it? Man up. Tell your wife to shut the hell up, and show her the back of your hand.

Without more i can't take sides. Of course wife was wrong to go off like that. Thats the easy cinclusion. But without backstory about how she has gotten to this point it's impossible to know if leaving is the answer. is she chronically unheard? Are you chronically unavailable to her? she needs help to learn how to better deal with stress, anger and frustration. But you may have work to do as well.

He didn't. But I leave my phone on vibrate during important meetings and, if my wife calls twice in a row, assume it's an emergency and excuse myself from the meeting temporarily. Fortunately my wife uses good enough judgment about serial calling that this approach works for us. If she called repeatedly over stupid things, I would need to ignore it and would not know to answer in case of a real emergency.
