Is this the married life. Why didn't someone tell me. I would have said NO

Married for 10 years now,
The wife has turned into a Slob, Lazy, Evil, Violent,

Does not cook, Says she cleans but the house is a mess, 4 kids and they all fail schooling from her helping them. everything she says is wrong but she thinks she's always right.

She does not work and will not go find a job. Just sits around and does nothing like dead weight and blames me for her life.

Constant yelling in the house. Oh god do not let her drink she turns to a monster and you cannot even talk to her.

She talks to herself basically and hears what she wants to hear. Even if I have said nothing.

Got married at 20 Big Mistake!!! now i'm 30 and cannot take this. I work a high profile job and its affecting my work.

sh*t I am ready to call it quits
but children and property involved i feel i am stuck. Child support would eat me alive.

All you young guys out there. Be very selective who you mess with. Any sign of behavior you do not like, Use her and broom her fast. RUN

This is just pure Evil. oh and this is Everyday no matter where we go. EVERYDAY
Do you think it's normal?

I'm suprised no one told you most marriages turn out like this

Maybe you should try counseling , and if that dosen't work-proceed with divorce

It's great you are concerned with your kids, but you should also be concened with your happiness
I know its not easy to consider separtion and posssibly divorce but i would defintily take this into consideration,if i were you i would express my opnion on the situation and demand change,you guys really need a heart to heart talk about this if you cannot resolve i would reccomend divorce.life is to short to be miserable.
most women dont have to work but it would be better for there health if they would Iam 60 and very happy to working to do somethihg for my self thank you.
I understand the part about the child support payments, but what's the point of staying in a lousy marriage? you're just gonna be miserable for the rest of your life.
You have 2 choices divorce her or kill her
Kill her, otherwise you will be in for it with alimony payments just because her lazy ass doesn't work. Sucks to be you dude. This is why I will not get mrried until at least 30 and it will be to a working woman, and there will definitely be a prenup. I feel for you man.
@ poster :

Do wat I did and Find a nice hidden place for her body, that no one will ever look in the next 50 years. Then bury the b*tch.
You were a hurried little moron and now you pay the price, Shut up, quit whining, and take it like a good little pussy.
4 kids at ? Im assuming she didnt knock herself up,did she?

she has a job ---raising 4 kids.if she went to work think about how much youd pay finding child care for 4 kids during the day.talk about eaten alive.

and how about yourself? Do you help her around the house? she is there all day with 4 kids you think her life is grand?maybe she feels trapped too? maybe that causes her to be grumpy towards you?

she may have problems but lots of guys expect a woman to cook and clean house all day and take care of a pack of kids and then be a sex goddess for you when you get home.get real.


bottom line is youve got 4 kids.do what is best for them.just staying together to avoid child support is not much of an environment for kids to be in.
Wat ?

more than 60 % of marriages now a days end in divorce.

And wat happens wen u DO make the conscience decision to change it, and the more u try to change it, the more ur spouse just refuses, until things get soo bad, that u just give up. Because everyone has a breaking point; where after fighting to change it soooo much they just break and stop trying because it just becomes too mentally and physically taxing on them.

Not everyone can pull other people out of a rut, especailly if the person ur trying to SAVE doesnt want to be SAVED. There r people like this. Its just a part of life.

The worst feeling in the world, is feeling like ur STUCK (been there; done that), cuz wen u feel like that u fall into a depression, and ur life falls apart and its not something u get over easy or ever forget.

So if thats the case for this poster, then I suggest reading my previous post and burying the b*tch.
Maybe you should talk to her about it, and if things don't get better than divorce her.
Sorry to read your sad story. It is what I dreaded most of my life and the reason I never married, and I'm now age 42. Many people change often for the worse and what we thought we were getting turns out to be far different over time.

You situation is complicated because of the children. If not for the children I would advise you to get a divorce.

Make an effort to improve your marriage by both of you seeking marital counseling. If she refuses to go, and the abuse continues, you will have to separate from her. Your children are the ones who will suffer if you divorce. Unfortunately, there is no easy solution, but try the marital counseling.

And, but the abuse and violence is the deal breaker. If that continues with no sign of improvement, then you have no choice but to leave.

If you eventually take the divorce route, try as hard as possible to come to an agreement with her. Winding up in the courts and feuding back and forth with lawyers is exhausting and draining.

Good luck, remember, marital counseling first.
1 word___ annulment
and if u hate her so much how u have 4 kids?
anyway just get an annulment if u can
o yah good idea
There is a solution --> bury the b*tch, go to church, light a candle, and say a prayer for her, then move on with ur life.
i say stay happy move on and still make the kids happy
say you are camping... throw clothes covered in your blood in a river, leave a 'campsite' and skip out... they will think you died... but would you want to coward out
Hi there, you must of seen the warning signs years ago and yet you continued to have four kids with this woman. It is really difficult bringing up kids today, it is expensive and unrewarding for women. Women get depressed especially if they are not getting any help. This lady sounds depressed and fed up. She needs some help. If I were you, I would try to save your marriage especially for the kids. Help your wife more around the house. Clean up every now and again and try to make her feel loved and appreciated and then she might make more of an effort. I know things seem difficult but you can do this. With all you said, I think you still love your wife, there is no easy way out of this situation and you have to be strong to pull your family back together again, I wish you luck, best wishes
I don't know.
Do you love her?
Does she love you?
She might only want you cause you work.
hmm
Yep I have a lazy one now and I am leavin her ass. She knows it already. We are both ok with it so that parts all good but I feel your pain. I have a 2 year old son with her and because of her fat lazy ass I have to not see my son everyday and leave my house now. I tried splitting all the chores down the middle and she never did her half. So fuck her. I am 31 and will not live the rest of my life this way. I am not married so its a little easier. Good luck man.
"and how about yourself? Do you help her around the house?"

Wrong answer.

He does not have an obligation to help around the house because he is the sole provider. He works his ass off all day to pay for 4 kids and a wife who doesn't work. If anything he deserves to have a drink handed to him and receive a massage when he gets home for busting his butt all day.

Want him to help around the house? Fine - then let the wife get a job and start paying a full 50% of the bills. Then and only then is he obligated to help around the house.

Women like you and your Oprah brainwashing are exactly the reason American women make horrible wives and the divorce rate is 60%.
Dude I sympathize...

However usually it's the men who turn out to be the lazy, do nothing around the house, "never spends time with the kids" parents.

Go for some counseling. That's usually the first step to trying to improve a marriage. Do keep in mind though that a marriage consists of a whole lot of giving and not a lot of taking. Maybe you were unprepared for this?
I feel bad for you because you do seem to be stuck, but like the others, I, too, have to wonder why you continued to have children with her.

You also have to think about the commitment you made at such a young age. Marriage is not to be taken lightly, and so many people do these days and this is what happens. Your wife may be unbearable, but perhaps she is asking for attention, not getting any, and continually getting worse. I suggest you at least work on your marriage first before deciding to do anything like cheat or look into separation/divorce. Sit down with your wife and tell her how you've been feeling. Don't be accusatory, but be honest and earnest in wanting to work things out. If you don't want to do this alone, do it with a marriage counselor so you have another person there to act as a referee. Then you can start to try to rebuild your marriage with a lot of therapy and counseling together.

If you want your wife to be more active, why not try to do things WITH her?? Take time out of your day to volunteer, take specialty classes, go to the gym, go out on dates... etc.

Also try to look online for other things you can do to repair a failing marriage. It has happened before, and because you have 4 very young children with you, you need to put THEM first before your interests and do your best to be the best father and husband you can be.
And that sort of pompous attitude doesn't help, fucktard. Sure, this wife may not be a good housewife, but for those housewives who ARE good mothers and clean the house, she definitely deserves some help from her husband. The reason is her fucking job never fucking ends. Going by your logic, she too should have a set number of hours where she cares for the kids and the house and outside of those hours she doesn't have to do anything at all. This is especially true for women who have multiple children all at very young ages. You also have to consider that the mother is always on call when a child becomes very sick or needs to go to the hospital at night. Men who go to work are almost never on call for night duties and for those who are are paid MAJOR MAJOR overtime. No such thing exists for wives.

Doing little things like taking the laundry to the laundry room or putting the dishes away after the wife stands for over an hour washing them or whatever doesn't take much effort or time. If the man doesn't do it though it's not effort or time that's involved, then there is something else going on like resentment or spite.
I agree 100% with that.

i would ask syrinx if he would be willing to let his wife get the full time job for 8 hrs a weekday while he works 16 hours a day taking care of the house and kids serve his wife hand and foot when she gets home.

syrinx, people have long ago realized that type of setup is unfair. and don't blame oprah for that. lol. It is unfair. think about it.
i disagree with you, though on your advise to the poster.

I think his wife is probably a lazy stupid drunk slob and he probably needs to dump her.

commitment to marriage is one thing, and kids add another dimension to the word obligation. but even with kids and despite the marriage vows taken, very often it is just better for everyone, even and maybe especially the kids, for this type of marriage to end.
get away from her man i been there before and i ate the payments and i am free now from her evil hands,Believe me if you stay with her it will get even worse she is meant to be miserable just let her go and get away
A-F*ing-Men. Yeah, raising 4 kids and caring for a house cannot be easy work, and like our jobs, it never ends. But that is no excuse to take out her misery on you.
Maybe she has mental problems and needs your help to find help from a doc? If she refuses to go get help then you need to make a stand for yourself. But being honest and talking to her about this stuff in a non confrontational way and with a lot of patience on your part ( cuase she is the one reacting badly right now ) would be the best bet.

Maybe your kids are assholes and you need to whip them into shape, mom cant do it alone. I been there and yea, kids can be assholes and they can totally throw a parents marriage out of whack with their b/s, parents have to be a united front with children.
I guess some relationships are just like train wrecks - a big, twisted mess all around.
Ok I have experience in this are right down to exact details Got 3 kids profile job wife does do anything. 1st your wife is depressed. 2nd you have to fix the depression. You can fix things because of the level in society you have achieved at a young age. You are only 30. As you put your chin down and made you can do this to. Now I am not saying you have to take any flake from her or society. You have to set the sail for yourself. Here is what you need to do. #1 This is your Garden. And your wife cannot decorate with you when you are protecting it. So the first thing you need to is identify those issues that is keep her from being successful. She is tired and cannot cope or manage through with the kids. You might ask why. Well her mother and society has trained her to go out and be a great Super woman when reality she doesn't have a clue how to do it. She doesn't have senior women stepping in and showing her how to keep house. They only teach her how to say you are the bad guy. She turns on the the TV and fat Oprah says your husband is suppose to be sensitive. Hey this is easy for a fat queen to be making all this money and tell your wife this stuff. So to roll this up. YOUR WIFE IS NOT TRAINED TO BE YOUR WIFE. YOUR WIFE WAS TRAINED TO BE A PRINCESS. I AM QUITE CONFIDENT SHE HAS TRIED TO MAKE THE STEP BUT GETS KICKED BACK BY MEAN PEOPLE AND SOCIETY THAT PUSH HER BACK. REMEMBER YOU ARE ON TOP AND WHEN YOU ARE THERE THERE WILL BE THOSE WHO WANT TO PUSH YOU BACK DOWN. So step 1. You have to identify the top snake in your guarden. Step 2 You have examine what you want to do with this snake. (Seek advice if you need to in order to kill this snake) Thank God for Google. Step 3 Make a plan and only implement a little at a time. Remember if you do one little thing per hour then that is 12 things per day. Step 4 Ask your wife to do little things to do so she can win. Then give her praise. Dude if it is just trying making one area of the house done then take her out to a nice dinner. Heck I heard things like we do not have the right sitter. Heck dude get one. You make enough money. Tell her it is only for 1 hour. Go to McDonalds if you have to. Just make it happen.
Then start to speed the process up. Praise yourself and go out and buy yourself something or get a massage what ever you got to do.
Then when this issue is finished and you will finish and BTW you will never have to deal with this snake again. Pick the next snake. Remeber a lot of things can occur today because of technology. I hope this helps and I am sure that you are smarter than me oh one bit of last advice decided what you stand for and lead your family where you know you need to go. I am sure you will find that your wife is exhibiting these behaviors because she has felt like she is letting you down. I am sure she is letting you down. The thing is our society allows us to cast women to side like dolls (Divorce) and it easy for us we can just sit back and go get another one. Don't believe all of this psycho bable pick your plan train you and your wife and make sure you are not another stat. I hope this helps. Post back if you have any other questions.
I started out feeling compassion for you but when I got to this comment "Any sign of behavior you do not like, Use her and broom her fast." I realized that you are only getting what you probably deserve with an attitude toward women like that. I agree with slackjawedyokel. She may be behaving like this because she is tired of living with a person like you!
I'm in the same situation, only reversed. See, I met my husband while we were both in community college. We both had to work full time and go to school part time. He had served in the Navy, and SEEMED to be a disciplined, goal oriented individual. Yeah, right. I ended up being offered a lucrative position at my job, and quit school, supporting us through his continued schooling, having 2 kids, and buying a house. He FINALLY graduated with a Bachelor's, and has not done a damn thing to get a job since then-Dec 07. He stays at home with our kids during the day, doesn't clean outside of "picking up" and some laundry, doesn't cook, has never given the kids a bath or bought groceries, or paid the bills. But yet he whines and moans about how hard his day is. Mind you, I work 9.5 hours/day, come home, make dinner, play with my kids, give them baths, read them stories, clean, and I am on 24/7 kid duty over the weekend.

I'm not sure if I would owe him alimony or not, but the man has no balls, so I doubt he'd even seek it out if I left him. I feel like he was false advertising.
