Feeling petty

[Eagle12]

I am so angry and jealous today. I feel awful about but I can't lie to myself that I don't feel this way. My wife is off on unemployment but I am an essential employee. I had hoped she would want to help with some projects but she had sit and watched t.v. and texted the whole time. She text people and asks them if she can do anything for them. Now on top of doing almost everything and working I have things to do on my time off. She wants everyone to love her so she offers to do for them while I work like a dog because she's not afraid to look bad to me and let's face it there is glory in taking care of things at home. It feels petty to me but I am so angry about it today.

its okay to be upset. maybe you could try sitting down and having a conversation with her. i know when i keep things that anger me inside i start building anger and even more things bother me, even little things, and then i can explode.

Try and talk to her about it, you have every right to be upset but communication is key. Let her know how you feel in a calm way so she does not feel attacked and sort it out.

This is what I did to my retired husband, at 55 years old. I stopped doing anything at home that needed to be done . One day it was dinner time. He sat doing nothing all day long. So I sat on the couch watching the news at dinner time, he came upstairs said what’s for dinner. I said I don’t know. What’s for dinner, and I just sat there still, until he understood that I wasn’t going to do anymore, unless he was too.

Sorry to hear that, I’m going through that right now with my daughter. She got laid off too and I’m retired she won’t lift a finger to help. My grandson lives with me too. I clean up and within minutes he’s made a mess. I have health issues. We get into it when I disapline him. He’s behaving like her, when I tell him to pick up his toys he said Why? There are things that need taking care of around here, she won’t budge. I told her when this quarantine is Over I’m moving out. I’m going to call an attorney to see if I can lock her out? She’s in and out of the house putting me at Risk. She out helping her friends so I know what you’re going through.

It is exhausting isn't it? I hope everything ends well for you. It not fair that they are not helping you. You deserve that much and more.

It is, I don’t want him growing up like the 6 brothers I have, my mother jumped around like a rabbit catering to them. She preferred her sons. My ex husband sat around like a bump on a log too. I left him, seems that he had the time and energy for other women. Is it a MAN thing??? Don’t get excited men on this site, im Not talking about ALL men JUST the Lazy Ones🤪
