[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am really surprised at how easy it is for people on here to tell others to walk away from a marriage.

Didn't any of you take your vows seriously? For better or for worse?

I don't know if I could say calling a spouse "lazy" is verbal abuse. It is incredibly rude and hurtful and is not the way you should talk to anyone, let alone your spouse. Maybe OPs DH is having some other things going on right now and freaked out, but the answer is not to "leave". Jeez.

I would suggest finding time, alone, to talk to him and say "Hey, what you said was really mean and unnecessary. What is going on?[/quote]

I agree with you - but only to a point.  The OP's post states that he has called her this before, and over the quantity of pancakes?  There is something amiss in that thought process.  And if that is the case it could be indicative of a larger trend of disrespect by her DH.  It would have to be a huge issue for me to dissolve my marriage without therapy, but if he's unwilling to change his behavior, feels entitled to call her names, sees nothing wrong with it, etc.  I'd be asking myself if this was the life I wanted.

And the days of me making pancakes for him would be done.  How the hell does a person, who is not a small child (and even my 9 year old knows better now), criticize the person who made them food?   He would now be invited to get up off his ass and make his own breakfast.    [/quote]
