[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what’s your complaint? That your wife, who is doing what she can from here, is upset about what is happening in her ancestral homeland? Have you read some of the accounts? They are awful—kids being killed, mothers being gang-raped, etc. It’s insanely upsetting, especially for people who have ties to Ukraine and can picture their friends and even themselves in that situation. What do you want from your wife? To be immune to those realities? I’m truly confused. Sometimes life and the world are crappy. Have some empathy. At least she is using her skills to help. [/quote]

Unless the wife is able to convince Putin personally to stop, she's nobody and combating misinformation is just a distraction. She chose to have children with OP and needs to pull her weight at home. It's not fair to him to have to pick up the pieces. I'm a woman FWIW. [/quote]

If OP's wife was just really, really, really upset about the war in Ukraine, the suggestion would be that she should "do something" with those feelings so that she felt she was helping. She's doing that, but because the situation is still really, really, really upsetting, she is still just as upset. It's been a month, so it's taking its toll on her morale. OP being concerned about his wife is an indication that the situation is serious, but what is happening in Ukraine is serious and real, more real for OP's wife than a lot of people, and I don't think her reaction is unreasonable.

OP, have you asked your wife what would help HER? Not what would help you or your kids or her friends. If your concern is about her, have you asked her what you can do to support her?[/quote]
