I get home from work. Wife is immediately an intentional a$$hole about a half dozen things. I ask what the problem is, I get told "nothing" four times, so I leave it be.

Aggressive, unpleasant, huffy-puffy pout continues. I ignore it. Not taking the bait or rewarding her antisocial behavior. She's now polluting the whole house. I decamp to the basement and post on the internet/watch TV.

At 7:30, I'm called a jerk for not reheating two portions of leftovers. She never asked for a portion.

This is new. We've been together for 17 years.

Humor me with your guesses

My man. I think so many married men go through this and suffer silently. Men are just expected to shoulder irrational, hostile behavior in marriage. I am not doing this when the kids are out of the house.

No wonder the lesbian divorce rate is the highest of any group.

The OP's wife is a pill, to be sure. However, most married men find that they have married a shrew sooner or later. And usually sooner.

One of my favorite things about DCUM is the number of women who blame their DHs for making them shrews without ever examining their own behavior to see if they played any part in the problem.

do men ever examine their part in this? Men typically have avoidant behavior, and that includes their avoiding their own bad behaviors that contribute to the relationship breakdown.
