I kind of figured by what Noodle said that it was probably the case but didn't want to pry. Sorry to hear that Noods.

Westminster, Irvine, even Anaheim. Look for Nguyens and Phams.
Vietnamese chicks are great because they have the beautiful skin tone that Pacific Islanders have but eat the much better tasting mainland Asian food.

It's ok, it happened a couple weeks ago and I posted it in the parent thread so I'm sure not everyone knew. My dick is definitely desperate.

Hell I didn't even know she was preggers. What's the proper no-sex-mourning period for something like that?
There's been at least one study that shows women who get regular semen injections (bareback) are happier than those who don't. Do we need to link them for you so you can convince her your dick is a happy juice spigot?

I'm almost at the breaking point of my marriage. It sucks to type that out because we haven't even been married for even 2 years and have a 9 month old. A lot of our problems stemmed from my alcohol use/abuse over the course of our marriage. I stopped drinking 2 months ago yet we still have the same problems as before. Now it seems like my drinking wasn't even something that was causing a rift between us or making us argue. My wife is so sensitive to the littlest things. Like a normal person, I would assume, when I post pictures of her or my daughter on facebook and I then like someone's photo in return to be nice. My wife doesn't quite see it like that. If you like a picture of someone you haven't seen in 13 years with their kid, apparently you are checking out some cleavage and you are definitely trying to hook up with that person. After that, you aren't going to be talked to even after apologizing for something that really isn't a big deal and really isn't worth an argument considering the person she is accusing you of having future carnal knowledge of. If you make the wrong joke, an hour after you get home from work during dinner when watching a television show, she's likely to lock up into the same kind of behavior. Not a belittling or personal joke that could be taken realistically in any normal part of the civilized world mind you. I continue to find myself at the shit end of the stick of our marriage and I'm always the one who has to apologize for usually nothing that needs apologizing for. I'm not saying I'm half-heartedly apologizing for this stuff, I'm legit taking blame for things that piss her off, make her mad, and generally makes her upset that I am not responsible for.
Since I've stopped drinking, my plan was to pay down some debt that I've accrued. I paid down quite a bit of debt within the first month. $600 worth or so I'd say but it mysteriously disappeared until I started checking the statements. My wife would spend $100-200 without telling me out of our debit and then our credit and since I had recently stopped drinking I just let it slide. It wasn't a big deal because I had been spending at least $400 every 2 weeks just on alcohol. I did some really dumb shit when I was drinking, but so did she. The majority of it was me though. Did you know if you were short on money in your checking and you have a best buy credit card you can buy gift cards for your own personal use up to $250 with your credit card? Yea, that was a bad look and I never used the card like that, but for me to even know that can let you in on how bad my problem has been. Anyways, that $600 I put towards a better cause for our debt (or my debt situation since she doesn't have any credit) just completely fell apart and put me into a fuck it mode.
My wife, who is 30, I am 31, talks to her mother every day. I don't go into my wife's phone, though she goes into mine, but I am certain that the two of them talk 2-4 times a day for at least 5-30 minutes each time if not more. I talk to my mom maybe twice a week just to see how things are going. We are a military family so we live 9 hours away from our parents. There has been times when I've been home and I've heard my wife exaggerating the truth on our arguments on the phone with her mom, yet if I ever turn to my parents for just someone to talk to besides a nagging wife I'm bombarded with allegations that they are too much in our business. My parents have never been in the business of remarking on anything that goes on in my marriage. They helped us get furniture when we bought our home and have helped us out financially over the past year and a half a lot.
When our daughter was born, my parents and my wife's mom came to visit for a week. Everything was great until the day everyone was leaving. My wife made it her prerogative to confront my mom about giving our daughter kisses on the forehead/cheeks. She did so in a manner that she expected me to back her up like that is frowned upon not to back up your wife on certain matters, etc. Really, if your parents want to give their grandkids a kiss that is totally fine in my opinion. But it got the point where my mom left back on her 9 hr trip crying because my wife was being the most gigantic bitch I've seen her be to date about it. I had to call my mom and talk her into apologizing to my wife even though it wasn't her fault just to save the future relationship that they might have and my mom agreed. I told her that my wife is just someone that cannot lose an argument and you have to be the bigger person with. Nonetheless, the first time that I had even seen my mom in 9 months and she leaves crying because my wife is so confrontational and can never be wrong and never apologize like a normal person left me on edge.
Her mom stayed for a few days after that and kept trying to tell me that the marriage is between the husband and wife and not the parents. She was saying we should just not speak to our parents at all if it was that big of a deal in our marriage. Yet, she was trying to tell me how I should get back on my wife's side the whole while. I'm sorry, but that is a load of shit. My parents and her parents have been in my life and hers for 30+ years and they've provided us with a majority of what we know and how to interact in certain situations and you're telling me that we need to stop talking to our parents and having them involved in our lives when we just had our first kid? Get the fuck out of Dodge.
At this point, I'm just mad and I don't even know where the rest of this is going. My wife watches the baby at home on the weekdays while I'm at work and goes to school on the weekend. Her last weekend at school is this weekend. After that, she has to find something to do on the weekends. I've bought her a nice camera in the past couple of months (to start doing photography) and me being in the military has afforded her the opportunity to go to school and get certified in what she wants to do and start free-lance work after this weekend for free. When I come home to her mad at me over some petty shit that she won't talk to me about no matter how cordial I am or how hard I try to correct it, I start to get to a place where I don't see the point to continue to try to rectify the problems in our marriage. She left and went back home in March for a week without telling or talking to me...Taking the baby overnight while sleepy on a 10 hour drive and just left me here without knowing what the fuck was going on and not communicating with me about if they made it there safely or not.
My guess is that her day to day Mon-Fri is watching every reality TV show/Court Show/Snapped Show(How Someone Was Murdered by their Spouse) that she can fit into her schedule outside of feeding and changing our daughter. I really feel like I'm at my breaking point and ready to say fuck it.
P.S. Sorry, I'm just really mad. My money is all fucked up and my wife keeps spending what we don't have and I simply can't talk to her about it. We've been to counseling and she's really smart. I'm too nice to tell the truth in a 2 on 1 interview with a counselor. I just don't see how our marriage makes it for another year so I had to spill the beans here just to get it off of my chest.

$400 every 2 weeks on booze? You've only been sober for 2 months. Did you expect that shit would just magically change and she'd be forever grateful immediately?
You aren't giving it any time and to be honest alcoholics aren't exactly known as trustworthy types of people. You make it to a year clean and sober and she still gets mad at you then you have something to MAYBE complain about. 2 months is a good start but it doesn't really prove anything and I'd still be skeptical of a real change for a lot longer than that personally.
EDIT: Honestly man... that whole post sounded like some whiney "poor me" shit.

No shit.
This isn't called being nice, it's called being a coward.
She sounds like a bitch to me. Keep holding your shit together and at least you'll be in a place to leave her when you need to. Get back into alcoholism at this point and you can call the ballgame on your life imo.

Yeah. Hold it together, don't drink, make your expectations clear to her, tell her parents to fuck off.

Has she always been like this?
The reason I ask is you married her. If it happened overnight, or say after the baby was born or it was gradual as you drank that's all different.
My wife was sort of like this so I can relate. It came on sometime before we got married and it drove me insane. I basically had to have a heart to heart and told her what she was doing was causing me to go into depression. She had no idea she was like that and what she was doing. I sort of had to lay it out and point it all out.
Thankfully for me she changed. Occasionally she'll fall back into it and blame me for the most random tiny shit but the difference now is I don't apologize for any of it. I just leave the room or whatever and she usually gets the hint. I don't mind apologizing for things I do, but absolutely not for things I didn't do or are outlandish.
That all said.. You guys brought a kid into this so it's different...
