Marriage and the Power of Divorce

Maybe. I mean I came home and she complained nonstop. Then I got pizza,she ate it, and fell asleep in her recliner by 9pm. Then she got angry about something and that was it

I'm aware this is "vent space", but in case you really strongly feel negatively towards her... try to cut her a little slack. Carrying around a mini-human for 9 months is a bitch. And I'm sure the stress it causes her transfers to you, through interactions like you described.

Yeah noodles wife just needs some slack...

I say go the other way and start to sprinkle salt on her while she sleeps.

It'll be a way to work through those feelings without having to fight a pregnant woman.

In defense of Noodle calling his wife a slug, my girlfriend is 8 months pregnant, still working full time, cleans up and has sex regularly.

Yeah but you're not married, that's like comparing refried beans and marshmallows

My wife worked full time delivering mail for the USPS up until lunch time on the day she gave birth.

She's just very naggy lately and driving me insane. I don't care if I don't get laid but it's very low effort. Yes she's carrying a human but it's not like I forced it on her, this is what she wanted

Meh. Women deserve some leeway while pregnant. If you cut my caffeine and booze off for 9 months, made me puke randomly, and I spent 1/2 that time with an awkward weight pressing my insides and fucking up my bodily functions, it would wear on me.

That said, it's not a blanket free pass. One friend of a friend's wife took the opportunity to eat her way to a 70 fucking lb weight gain (!!!!) and act like a mega-cunt, "because pregnant". Then again, she has a pitch black soul and has been & always will be a miserable oxygen thief. She just added obese to the list of awful traits she has.

She wasn't like this last time. Or maybe I have PTSD and blocked it out

Yeah, I've been married now for longer than I wasn't, and I tell people who ask - don't get seriously involved with someone you have nothing in common with other than attraction to each other. You end up making decisions where one person is happy and the other isn't and that breeds resentment.

Wife asked me recently, "how long would you wait to get married if I passed away?" I'm eye rolling this shit and she's explaining how the discussion came up at work. She didn't like my diplomatic equivalent of "why the fuck would I ever get married again at my age?"

Start checking your drinks for anti-freeze...Sounds like she is considering how long she would wait.

I really hope Noodle is just coming here bitching his heart out as a way to vent an anger he doesn't feel is entirely justified.

If you really feel this was Noodleface I would suggest thinking seriously about what you've asked her to put her body through. Yes, its something she wanted. Yes, its something she agreed to do. But its taxing, its hard, and maybe you've left the early bitchiness build inside of your head to something it shouldn't be, and now your resentment toward it is simply magnifying the situation.

Try buying her a nice maternity dress (you should goddamn well know her size, and DON'T fucking take her shopping. She will feel like a cow in anything), shower her with affectionate comments when she puts in on. "I didn't know pregnant could be so sexy." type shit.

Then ask her what her craving is that night. You take her to the best place for that type of food you know. You flaunt her around like she is the 20 year old hard body midlife crisis that so many guys are envious of. You make it VERY obvious to everyone that she is yours by your actions. Not aggressive towards others, but in that "I can't believe I landed this one" kind of way. Make her feel like she IS that 20 year old hard body midlife crisis.

You don't go for sex, you don't try to play any kind of sexy time. If sex needs to be addressed? You make a comment like "just wait until you're able again, Babe. I've been dreaming about it."


I fucking George Zimmer guarantee that shit improves.
