      Hey Everyone

      I am coming on here to request some advice from you because I feel like I can trust you guys and you are all a good group of people.

      A little background info. I have been married to my wife for 4 years. We first got married at the court house to help with taxes, then we had our offical wedding in 2010. We first met in 2007 and she was pregnant within the first month of dating. We were both really happy that she was since we had such strong feelings for each other. Our daughter is now 4 years old and the love of my life.

      Here is where I need advice.
      My wife for the past 1-2 years I want to say has just been so angry about everything lately. If she doesn't get what she wants right then and there it is a living hell to deal with until she gets her way then its fine until the next day where it starts all over again. No matter what I do its not good enough. Let me say that not only do I go to work 40 hrs a week, but then i come home and cook since she can't/wont cook. I do the dishes at least twice a day which i hate doing but she isnt willing to help unless we are having company over. I do all the laundry, she wont do any of it. When i get home from work she goes to work and she works about 24 hrs a week. My wife becomes even more angry/aggressive when she drinks and she doenst drink that much, maybe some wine at work or go get hammered on a saturday night. Something very stressful to deal with again since you cannot reason with a drunk person espically if they are angry.

      I want to use tonight as an example of what i had to deal with.

      Everything was fine during the day, we talk on the phone for awhile while i'm at work. I go to the gym, then when i'm done i give her a call and she is freaking out about how we don't have a baby sitter for saturday because i will be out of town and she has to work. I offered to have my dad help in which she immediately declind and said that she doenst want him watching my daughter becasue some of the stuff that went down when my mom was alive. he is in a much better place now that she is gone. my wife believes that he would hurt my daughter in some way and i actually took offense to that since there is no way he would do such a thing. we are now starting to have him back in our life since my mom is gone and he has been helping us. I tried to call her over 30 times to get this figured out because i don't like problems and would like to deal with them quickly. she ignored every one of my calls, when i got home so she could leave it was nothing but swearing on her part and still no resolution.

      Another thing.

      My mom had some clinical mental illness which definitely showed during our wedding and before with crazy emails and voice mails and she even tried to crash our wedding. That negativily affected our relationship since she kept saying to me that i was going to turn out like that. My mom ended up commiting suicide last year in March and not to say this in a bad way, it has been kind of a releif for us as the negativity wasnt there anymore. Now i never forgave my mom for that since it was such a cowardly thing to do i felt.

      I can't trust my wife. she does a lot of sneaky things behind my back, and me being in the IT field i have ways of knowing things about her that she doenst think i know. and if i ever try and talk about things with her, she immediately becomes defensive and gets mad and then wont talk to me, and that could last all day. i have no one to talk to about this because i don't want people that i know in real life to think there are problems as people become judgemental. i really don't think i can put up with much more of this anger and hostility towards me. i ask her if she loves me and she says she does but then why the **** is she acting like this? I try to do everything i can to make her happy. she is very materialistic, i bought her some $450 boots recently, she is driving a car that has a payment of $600 a month, i pay her cell phone bill, i pay all the bills at home. the only thing she wants to do is go shopping and if she cant have what she wants its world war 3. Since i pay for her car and rent and all that i can't afford to move out on my own and continue to pay for her to live. We have a daughter together and i don't want to put her through any of this. she is just a kid and she should be having fun and not having to worry about adult things.

      i don't know what to do.

      btw i'm leaving tomorrow morning to go to Miami beach with my boys to let loose, i just know i'm going to hear from her about something else negative which will probably give me more anxiety which i'm trying to get rid of.

      Bro, sounds like your a catch! It seems you do a lot more then 50% in and around the house. You have a good head on your shoulders, and your heart seems to be in the right place. Women are very tricky, and I use to walk on egg shells around my wife trying not to upset her when I can tell something is bothering her. But now that we've been together for 10 years, I just come out and tell her how I feel. For example, if I notice her stopping around the house, I'll stop her and say, "what the **** is your problem?" Sometimes it's me, most of the times it's co-workers, but I let her know that regardless of what it is, she ain't doing that in this house. We have kids ages 5, 3, and 2 months, the older ones are just at the stage of "copying" everything, I mean everything. A lot of the times it really helps her to just let it out, even if it's directed at me, I don't care. As long as her frustrations at the world doesn't trickle down to my kids.

      Have you guys ever just sat down and hashed everything out, I mean everything.

      I've tried to do that, I ask her all the time why she is so angry and she just tells me that I annoy her, when most of the time I'm not even doing anything. It really is frustrating becasue this is every ****ing day. Right now I'm on tren and I don't even get pissed. I just get frustrated how she acts and I keep asking myself wtf is going on. And I can't answer it. I too walk on egg shells, because I don't know the next time that switch is going to flip and here we go again. I haven't been happy with her for a long ass time. But what can I do? I can't just up and leave i have no where else to go. I can't afford to pay rent on 2 places. She won't move back in with her mom and I want our daughter to be around a loving family.

      I like ez's advice. Talk to her communication is key and it sounds like u give her a lot which is fine as long as your ok with it. I myself share costs with my girlfriend and we both do tons but I'm cheap.
      I have a buddy who's wife does not work and their kids are getting older and it is tough Bc she just takes him for granted all I'm trying to say is maybe she needs to step back and see what she has and how good she has it!
      Good

      I like what you're sayin bro and I think she does need to see what she has but living together isn't easy for that to happen. Thanks for the advice bros, I know some of you prob had some experience in this.

      Another thought that may help is if you wrote how you feel so it has a chance to sink in and maybe be taken more seriously.

      Bro if you ever need someone to talk to don't hesitate to call. I'll send you my number.
      I can relate to this in so many ways.

      I'm 30 and my wife is 28. We have been married 7 years and have a 12 yr old. Yes, do the math.
      Its been good, bad, ugly but one thing I can say is, I'm glad we didn't give up. We are now happier than we've ever been. We were told we wouldn't finish High school let alone college.
      My advice is to try again to find a solution. Giving up is the easy way out. You sound like you have your head on straight and you pull more than your fair share.

      One thing I started doing was writing down what I was mad about. Then id read it later and analyze. One day I gave my wife a stack of papers and asked her to read them. It helped her understand my needs, and at the same time it helped her know that I was listening.

      Sorry for being all over the place. Its a very touchy subject with me that I had to fight tooth and nail to overcome. One thing I realized is I am no way innocent in the mess.

      Hit me up bro. You've been nothing but good in my book. If there's anything I could do.

      You had me at "bro"...ha ha! See this is the type of stuff that makes this board really unique. I know we can all imagine what would happen if this was asked somewhere else. FitnessGeared fo' life!

      Hey bro, good that you can come on here and talk about it. This will help you. Theres good people here who you can trust.
      I agree with whats been posted on this thread. You sound like a real good dude and its a shame she doesn't appreciate it.
      My first thought when I was reading your post was "Holy shit, this chick needs to be cut off immediately! Get rid of her and stop paying for all her shit." But then you said you have a daughter together and that def changes the entire dynamic. So I suppose you still need to try to find a way to make it work.
      What you said about her being sneaky and then blowing a gasket when you talk to her is a humongous red flag. Her lack of appreciation is also another major flag.
      I dont know how you do it, bro. I hope you two can fix things, esp since there is a child involved.
      But also, if your daughter is seeing this kind of meanness and rage, thats not good for her in the long run. Man, this is a tough one brutha. Relationships can be complicated, they can be wonderful and they can also be hell on earth if youre with the wrong person. I wish you all the best ,man. Feel free to come on here and vent as much as you need to.

      Yea the whole fact that we have a daughter makes it 100 times harder. If it wasn't the case she would have been gone by now.

      I was in a long relationship where I was walking on eggshells. But in spite of all that The sex and everything was incredible. I had a companion to go and do stuff with, etc etc but I finally couldnt take being with a ***** any longer. I am soo very glad that I was able to end the relationship. Now I feel sorry with whoever she is with now.
      Sorry, I dont know if that helps, but if you ever do decide to end things, It wont be nearly as bad as you might think. Honestly, I have found that people arent going to change from who they are at their core. Maybe she can change, who knows.
      Please dont take this as me telling you to get rid of her, but ooh, maybe thats what I would probably do LOL
