re: Holding the household together since the hurricane but I’m a piece of shite

made the wife and kids stick it out. So after house got wrecked ked. I loaded them in the car and took them to Disney to cheer them up. Then a few days on the beach (Anna Maria Island, FL).

Came back to straight up hell and I really just want to leave. Wife using the kid's and their school and friends as excuse to stay.
I want to go to Florida or Colorado and it'll likely take a split for me to do so.

You made them stay for Ida? That’s PTSD material.

the United States desperately needs divorce reform.

the sad reality is that the OP would get taken to the cleaners if (God-forbid) a divorce happened. it's ridiculous and it needs change.

women are granted an absolutely absurd amount of leniency and protection for being just as guilty (and in most cases far more guilty) than men they are married to.

this is NOT equality. this is NOT morally right.

All I hear is how we need to switch to a whole house generator (after I spent $1,600 last year on a generator and interlock kit) because what we have is apparently not enough for her and that I’m a piece of shite father because the baby is glued to her day and night. I can’t help the fact that the baby doesn’t want anything to do with me right now - I don’t have the tits. Because of me my family has a cool (actually sometimes cold) room to sleep in at night, nothing in the fridge/freezer has spoiled, she has hot water to bathe in each night, we have zero need for flashlights, we have WiFi for her precious Instagram and tiktok, tv, and food to cook and eat every day - that I cook. I’m a sack of shite, though, because the baby only wants her at night instead of me.

I used to carpool with a guy older than me. He told me, “ being married is the toughest job that I’ve ever had”. I decided, that married life wasn’t for me

Sorry to hear about your impending divorce

Amen OP.

Best of luck. not hot having power is terrible. You might want to move to a less power outage environment.

We are at our breaking point too. But we are not fighting. Just both in a funk/depressed mood. Luckily my inlaws have power so we have the kids staying there and the wife and I go him about 5 or 6 ever night to man the generator. But today is 10 for us and the first day of normal work schedule since ida. But yea over it. Oh and I’m so sick of the noise of the generator and I’ve had a constant headache from the gasoline smell.

This is what you do...

Keep doing the same shite due to the baby and stay in silence. Go get a side piece and release the stress cause obviously shes an irritated count if shes gonna bitch that much and apparently she can't even breast feed without bitching.

frick all that bullshite marriage is way overrated.
