Marriage and the Power of Divorce

I dunno, I kind of doubt she's going to 'just cooperate' if that's not been part of the relationship until now. IE, now that she has the kid to blame and slack off if you were Dr. Softy in your entire relationship and all of a sudden you're going to get passive aggressive about things, she'll just turn that around into an emotional fight every time and never do a thing. What are you going to do, kick her out and lose everything? hahahah.

My GF knows I am super easy going about most things but she knows certain stuff is just not worth it/off limits because it won't be negotiated. Example: I place my 'stuff' when I get home usually in my hat on the counter because I like to know where all my 'pocket-shit' is at all times. You don't fucking touch the hat. Ever. I don't give a fuck what season it is, the decorations, who is over or what you are cleaning. It doesn't move. Yet, I really don't care if I wake up and she's taken my car without asking to run an errand or whatever because I'll just drive the other one. It's insured, who cares?

Luckily she loves cleaning so no problem there. BOOM.

Sometimes you gotta display dominance and just teabag everything she owns.

Good news, when you put your balls on your wife's phone you get delicious lemon chicken wraps. I asked her if she tea bagged the wraps, she said she did and I told her I appreciated the extra effort.

Your wife has balls?

My wife works nights every-other-week so I generally have our now 15 month old while she sleeps. Now don't get me wrong, I love spending that time with my daughter, but after 8+ hours of basically non-stop entertaining her I am just as wiped out as if I worked a full day. I can sympathize with the stay-at-home-mom who doesn't feel like cleaning the house and doing all the chores after a full day with the kid(s).

Now obviously the shit around the house still needs to get done one way or another, but my perspective on how much of that responsibility should be shouldered by the "stay-at-home-mom" has definitely changed now that I've gotten a taste of what it is like to do that job. Thankfully for my wife and me, we are pretty good at tag-teaming most stuff. For dinner I generally cook the protein and she does the side dishes, we group-clean the house, whichever one of us didn't have the kid during the day takes care of the evening routine, shopping is 50/50, etc. About the only thing she does that I don't help with is all the laundry, and I tend to do a lot of the "man stuff" (e.g. building a fence) on my own.

I just assumed she ment her vagina, I am unaware of a second set of balls in the home.

I gotta get me one of these wife things so that I have something to rub my balls on.

Well, I rub my balls on stuff already. But I mean so that it won't seem sad and strange.

Over time it will seem sad and strange again. Except this time it will seem sad and strange to you, instead of everyone else.

I'm still trying to figure out what a breeders body is.

we're gonna need some lindz pics.

Ask keg. In his D-cups vs Etoille, he said that Etoille was fine for breeding line backers or some such. Also she looks like she could take a punch.

Technically, he said her tits looked like they could take a punch. Which was goddamn hilarious.

Noodle, have a frank conversation with your wife. My wife and I did that. Your job necessarily takes you out of the house, her job necessarily keeps her in it. Part of a job is to maintain the work space, and she needs to treat this like a job. Being a stay at home parent is fucking ridiculously difficult, but it's a job. All jobs have shitty, hard elements. Caring for a child is difficult. Maintaining the house is difficult. These are part of her job for right now. Start thinking of it in that way and perhaps her own expectations and senses of obligation start to shift.

Talk. Lots of talk.

Yeah we did talk, but it's always an excuse.

Someone before asked how cleaning was before and it's always been the same for her. Her mother is borderline hoarder and doesn't clean very good. If you walk into her office there are piles of bills (paid) and paper EVERYWHERE. It's unusable. The picture now becomes clearer?

The real issue is before the kid (and before buying a house) we were in a small space with not a lot of stuff so it was generally a quick thing. Now we have a house and a kid and a dog and shit is out of control.

Her excuse before was "Well if I could stay home full time I'd take care of all this stuff." She now has that and her obligations are not being met.

Also right now it's an overwhelming mess, like the entire house. She just piles shit in places that makes no sense. Like mail, she just leaves it opened on the table - multiply that times a week and it's crazy. But if you try to throw any away she gets pissy because she hasn't "filed it." The filing system is retarded here. Unfortunately right now I don't have much time to just clean up a bunch of rooms top to bottom.

She also likes to use the excuse "well we have a kid now, and kids make houses messy"

Always an excuse. Guess I could just divorce her and live under a bridge somewhere.
