I’m sorry your country was invaded…

But we can celebrate her sister’s graduation. 🙄

OP you are a self-absorbed man child. Get a clue! You didn't get a BBQ for your birthday and you pitched a fit. No wonder she lashed out. Her comment is the embodiment of someone who is hurting and also dealing with a selfish jerk who just doesn't get it. She went too far to get your attention not because she means it. Just get a divorce and please don't ever date again.

My life did not stop when my father died, nor when my brother was serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I've suggested therapy for DW, and basically got a f**k off.

Wow you are a moron. That could very well be the relatives trying to not worry you - after all, what could you or your wife possibly do to prevent them from being blown up tomorrow? And your wife knows this and feels even worse/irrationally guilty that they are putting on a brave face in a war zone while she is safe and sound far away from all of them.

Honestly, think of someone other than yourself for once. Get the BBQ yourself if you want it so badly.

And, my friends, this is what happens when you marry an American. You end up DCUM with all your laundry aired out and people passing judgement on you and your family.

Well, my father and brother were both in combat and my mother and his wife soldiered on.

And what’s the point of my wife showing me videos of Russian tanks being blown to bits by St. Javelin and saying that should’ve been my brother in Afghanistan?

Why don't those Ukrainians understand how much BBQ means to us Americans? More than family, life, or death.

OP, I have a Ukrainian co-worker and she is literally going crazy with what's going on over there. Her family is there. It is very very painful and I guess both my co-worker and your wife feel so frustrated, and powerless watching this going on for two months now, and the world is just watching....my co-worker told me she has so much anger and hate in her heart, she is in a very dark place. Your wife probably is feeling similar feelings and is not getting the support she needs from you.

Men are allowed to post and vent here.

So how about you shut up and stop being an internet bully because your home life is boring and miserable.

OP. That’s abusive and vile. She needs to get help or you should leave. Yes Ukraine is a tragedy of epic proportions but that doesn’t mean you abuse the people around you.

She wants you to feel something. Because you feel nothing.

No need to be rude to the Op. you don’t know that he’s uncaring and even if he was, the wife shouldn’t be wishing death on his brother.

+1. OP-why haven’t you left yet if your wife is as awful as you say?
