[quote=Anonymous]My wife and I have been together for a long time.  We’re a reasonably happy couple with 3 kids.  We both have serious professional jobs and a house that needs a lot of work.  Which is a long way of saying we don’t have a lot of free time. My issue is that my wife is not reasonable about what is possible to do.

Some examples are:

she buys ingredients for elaborate meals that the kids won’t eat and we don’t have time to make.  (I just tossed a rack of lamb that rotted in our fridge for a week- because we’re really only have time to make tacos or pasta).

She bought a bunch of high adventure camping gear that’s really only appropriate for serious wilderness hikers and survivalists.  It’s still in the boxes a year later (We are at best car campers and with all of our kids’ activities we can really only go on vacation once a year)

She starts projects like putting in rosebeds that tear up the yard and because she doesn’t have time to finish  I end up doing it.  Which then crushes our weekend and doesn’t let me get to the projects I really need to work on like fixing the leak in the kids bathroom.

When I try to talk to her about it she throws a tantrum and either says I think she’s worthless/stupid/bad mom.  Or she goes on the attack and says I don’t care about her/ don’t want her to be happy.

I’ve suggested councling or therapy but she gets mad at that.    It sounds crazy to say but other than that I think we have a pretty awesome life and marriage.  Any advice is appreciated. [/quote]
