When is the last time you two went on a date?


It has been a while. Between the kids activities and her activities there isn’t a lot of time. I know that’s a poor excuse, but it is what it is.

It's obvious she has figured out who you are on TD. Ask yourself this...."Is there anything you posted on here that would cause her to reflect upon the relationship with her husband and his alter ego Tyga Woods?"

She used to be fun but now she doesn’t really want to go anywhere or do anything that doesn’t involve one of her volunteer projects or work or church. What the deal is?


An early sign of trouble. Time to work on romance again.

You are the head of the house. Women will naturally go to the state of your wife without any resistance.

quote:

Volunteers for everything (kids school, church, etc) while bitching about how tired and stressed she is because of it.


quote:

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.


Sounds like you need to take charge.

I'm just saying, if you don't want it to turn into an argument, make it about you (not them).

Imagine this: your wife approaches you and says "You spend too much time on TigerDroppings and watching football. You don't spend enough time with me and the kids. You're not pulling your weight around the house. You're a slob and I'm sick of picking up after you."

How do you respond? It's only natural to defend yourself. "I only watch football on the weekends and I'm only on TigerDroppings when I'm on the john. I watched the game with you Friday and Junior helped me cut the grass on Sunday. Where else should I throw my dirty pants (besides the middle of the bedroom floor) so you know I want them cleaned?"

If your wife went to you and said: "I miss you and want to spend more time with you. The kids miss you too. I'm so overwhelmed, I could really use some help around the house. I saw your pants in the middle of the bedroom, should I fold them or do you need me to wash them?"

Now, how do you respond? You can't be defensive when they're coming at you with their feelings and asking for help.

I'd have her get blood work anyway. You are your hormones. If they are out of whack no way you'll get her in pretty much.

Sit down and ask her what boxes need to be picked for her. If she needs to quit drag up.

You need a handle on it. Communication works. See a counselor if needed. If she's into church sit with a pastor. Somewhere no confrontational.

Also what are her social media posts look like? Is she buried in her phone all the time? That can shut her off to the outside world.

Seems she feels the same.

Does she question your need to feel productive all the time?

If not, then why are you doing it to her?

I'm with the "hire a house cleaner" guy....you both want to be productive individuals in society. Not all women are created to be housekeepers and cooks (though it'd be easier if they were!). Let her do her thing, you do yours, and the house cleaner or nanny does the shite neither of you want to do.

this is cause you're not being an a-hole. i notice sometimes its only when i get the most fed up, and really do become an a-hole, that some women snap out of their own heads and pay attention.

Ok. Keep me informed of the progress of the situation as I have a moderate level of interest in its outcome
