How's her head game?
Good blow job's can make amends for many marital imbalances.

This thread is a bit of deja vu. This isn't your first wife troubles thread and it's not looking like you took any sound advice from the last one? You were supposed to lose the submissiveness.

True but literally here is my daily routine:

1. wake kid up
2. Cook breakfast
3. Work out
4. Get kid to online school
5. Start my job
6. Stop my job
7. Cook lunch
8. Get kid back to class
9. Resume job
10. Get kid snack
11. Resume job
12. Get kid to do homework
13. Cook or order dinner
14. Clean kitchen/do dishes

It’s literally only me doing everything not even exaggerating.

Weekends: all of the above plus I vacuum and occasionally shampoo the carpets on our stairs. If I don’t stay up past 9 no games/
Stop doing some or all of those things. It'll get pretty obvious soon.

Your wife hides in her office all day while you do all the work? She's having an affair. Dump her now.
 
Maybe the wife was really fired but has an OnlyFans page that she uses to bring in money on the side to replace the fulltime job and hasn't told you?

Would explain the locking of the door and the lashing out at you because of self hatred?
 
Hm, that's weird. Most marriages are smooth sailing. :p

Seriously though, op, yelling in front of the kid(s) is the worst. (I mean there's worse, but for most "normal" people.) Anger is a part of life, and we all have to let it out, but it's better if it can be released in a constructive manner, or at least not in a destructive way.

But like the Buddhist idea, "Everything is workable." Children will see our worst at times, but it can always be used as a positive.

And sometimes in life, the solution/resolution to problems is not what we'd wish them to be. Always best to be at peace with the ever-unfolding.

Hope you and your wife can smooth the wrinkles.
 
Well there's nothing you can do about your daughters emotional scars at this point, but you guys should get to counseling ASAP. If you can't even hold it together for your daughters birthday, things sound dire.

BTW I hope you have already talked to your daughter....she will probably internalize this as something she caused. (being on her Birthday and all).

Hope that didnt come off dickish....godspeed OP.

Here's my POV: it sounds like your wife does not respect or appreciate you, in part because you do all that shit. Stop doing all that stuff and take a firm stance.

Full disclosure: I am in the middle of a divorce.

OP, i feel like you and your wife don't communicate much at all judging by your past threads. You and her need to talk it out and let her know you are overwhelmed and need her to step up.
For serious, bro, that is not cool. Who cares who's the asshole in this situation?

It seems you two knuckleheads have created a toxic environment for your young child.

Get your shit together.

Good advice but just to be clear I didn’t yell my yell is like Richard Dreyfus or Wallace Michael Sean. No swearing just the default for us is saying the meanest possible thing to each other when pissed it’s a dumb game. It started because she was complaining I wasn’t doing enough making our daughter read books after online school. I would but both of us working full time and only one of us teaching and handling homework during COVID is exhausting.

I just didn’t take the bait after the text and suggested sleeping on it and apologized. But we need to do virtual counseling or something agreed.

1. Stop airing your shit on a message board, thats not cool and a breach of trust between you and your wife. You are an asshole for that.
2. Get both of you into marriage counseling, you need to learn how to communicate in a healthy fashion. If not for yourself, do it for your daughter.
3. Remember everyone has their own story in there head about what is going on and who the other person is. Most of us are the heros in our own story, its likely no different for your wife. You need to learn what her story is of herself and learn how she sees you, and vice versa, and learn to communicate and fix the issues.

Is this “airing shit” or healthy venting? Would you rather the rage and resentment built up resulting in OP blowing up the house with a can of hairspray in the microwave?

1. marriage counseling

2. If you can afford it, get a maid

3. Kids can sense parental conflict (obviously you guys had a screaming match) and it affects them. Is your kid ok?

I'm going through a divorce due to a similar situation. For 10 years I did everything and I realized I do not want to spend the rest of my life bearing everything on my shoulders while she gets a free ride. We were not equal partners.
You and OP sound like a good fit.

Do you both still love each other OP ? ( besides all the drama )
If you do its time to sit down and talk, no yelling just talk it out like adults.

So my wife and I have been married 16 years. Our daughter just turned 8. We both work full time and this school year she has done jack shot. I cook, I clean the kitchen, I get my daughter to class on time and make sure she does her homework...and oh yeah I bring in salary from my full time job in tech. The wife works too and locks her door every day when she does it. We got into it and in anger I said “you haven’t done anything to help our daughter!” Regrettable words but it’s true. This prompted her throwing a glass knocking over a chair, a fan and yelling for 10 minutes in front of our daughter on her birthday. Then she storms off tells my daughter I’m a bad husband and threatens divorce over text...wtf?

Who is the asshole?

You identified a problem. You went to the person who caused / could be the solution to said problem. You pissed that person off which resulted in your identified problem not being fixed.

Use a different strategy.
 
She sounds like she's the asshole. But, also you doing all the cooking and cleaning, there's some of your fault here. Why do you do all that? Sounds like simp behaviour.

Your the asshole. You need to do more.

Why is your wife even working? Aren't you a man?

Get her a big black guy and watch from the closet.

Any time this question appears it is easy to answer by remembering one thing:

You are what you eat.

Therefore, you are the asshole.

One of you need to switch to part time or hire some help. Boom! Problem solved. $200 is my fee !

It sounds like you guys really need to work on your communication. Wait till she cools off and have an honest sit down to discuss how you both feel about the situation. But I will say you bringing it up on her birthday was not a good move and very likely made her feel attacked.

Also, your wife has anger issues and divorce viva text is pretty terrible. Gotta wait until that energy calms down. If she is still unreasonable then it is probably more of a problem on her side.

Was wondering the same thing. My buddy is going through a divorce and they haven’t fucked since their kid was born....4 years ago.

It's super common, but a lot of guys don't talk about it as they'll get mocked or have the boilerplate statement of "She's too tired after looking after the kid all day".

Day I shot my beans up my ex-wife was the last day we ever had sex. She did show interest in sex for ten minutes the day we moved into a new apartment and I already had that mentally pegged as "OH look, reward sex!" /s. and she lost interest before any sex happened.

OP is just a $200K a year earning pay pig his Asian/Russian/wherever the fuck nationality as he won't say wife divorces as soon as their kid is old enough to look after herself but not before she's too old to trade up.

Tough love.

Book it.

Harsh last few post but sadly the truth. It blows my minds how many guys I know who have been married decades and never get laid. And people wonder why there's so much violence in the US....
 

Rest

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
You started yelling, throwing things, and knocking stuff over on your daughter's birthday? Do you do this on holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, too?

There may be issues with how much your wife helps out, but based on what you shared in the OP, you're the asshole.
