OK, I know you said that this was a rant, but I still think you need to sit down with the little lady, and see what's really bugging her.

Tell your wife she's fired.

In situations like this I usually use my time honored tactic of cutting all communication completely. The alternative is rampant screaming. When she sees what having no fvcking idea what is going on is like, she'll hopefully come to her senses.

I thought you would give her a beatdown. 😉

Oh yeah, I forgot I'm the suppose to be the resident woman beater around here...I've got a reputation to uphold.

"I'd punch her in the mouth and throw her down the stairs."

That ought to do it. 😛
yep, can always count on you for that. : /

Where is your condemnation for the several other posters who made jokes of that nature? Or does your transparency require an extreme measure of obviousness?
bite me.
or in your case... hit me.

Ah. So when called out directly, we must retreat to the old stand by. I cannot say I am awash with surprise.
thank gawd you are not my husband or bf. that's all i'm sayin'.

And again. Don't worry. I prefer women who are dynamic and mentally challenging. You are not my type.
you have no idea. :laugh:

but it's cool. i gladly accept the fact i am not your type.

DurocShark, while it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with this thread, are you the forum member whose wife has lupus?

I must commend you for all you put up with with your wife (the original post, the cheating, etc.)

Yes

EDIT: "Yes" was too simplistic an answer. Yes, she has Lupus. And I accounted for that re: the original post. Her Lupus isn't every day. More like 4 good days, 1 bad day, etc. That is also why I'll never leave. That would feel too much like bailing out on a cripple. You'll notice I never once mentioned love in the above thread...

Wow. I dated a girl for 3 months that had lupus, which is why I remembered you mentioning that about your wife. Strangely enough though, she too was a cheater (though, supposedly not while we were dating). I always did wonder how to approach breaking up with her, since I knew from the get go it wouldn't be long term, but by no means was that due to lupus as the reason. Unfortunately, she passed away before this even became an option.

Talk about a bizarre twist on events.

Or the easy way out.

I would guess that she doesn't want to make the move and is lashing out. This is an unacceptable form of "communication" and you need to sit her down and talk it out.

Moving is hard on everyone, but you and she have responsibilities - especially with the children - and she should be focusing on making this whole thing smooth, efficient and as un-traumatic as possible for them.

She isn't holding up her end of the bargain and you better nip that in the bud or you are going to have a whole lot of pain in your future.

dr. phil?

Note: sounds like quite a few people on atot have never actually been in love before let alone a real relationship. Just one of those things you cant fathom unless u experience the joys and torture of a relationship. If you are one of those ignorant folks that says "if you can negotiate leave them" try to put that phrase into reality and you will see that it rarely works in any situation and basically saying marriage is useless.

you would be suprised... when and if u get in a dead end argument this is a more rational idea of walking away... take a walk, go shop, enjoy your favorite porn a break of some sort to do your thinking. Come back together talk in a civil manner and your all back on the same track.

If you just met like a week ago i would see how the whole walking away thing would come in to play. if are already at each others throats that quick its a good sign that u should keep looking, but if u are at a point where you are commited there was obviously something there to begin with. You just have to constantly communicate and keep things fresh. Missionary does get old, but if you havent done it in a while its pretty cool.

BTW is your wife hot?
 
Seriously DurocShark, has she ever had a full psychiatric battery done? She was gung-ho for it but now she hates it, she moved with you to get away from family then forced to move back, etc. This is textbook bipolar disorder.

My wife had similar issues about a year or so after we married. We had planned on moving to CA from MA, I had everything mapped out and then she started freaking out on me that I was going to make her abandon her family. This started happening with every maor decision (new cars, apartment, etc.). I seriously thought I was going to run out, because I couldn't handle it anymore. But instead, we talked things over when we were both calm and decided it would be a good idea to have her evaluated. It took about another year after that to get all the meds and counseling straightened out, but it saved our marriage. She still has an occasional up/down day, but it's a lot better and easier to deal with now.
 
She doesn't want to move. She probably agreed to it and probably even said she wanted to move, but if she had wanted to move she'd have had the whole house packed a month ago. Women will play the whole "I'm just a little girl, what can I do" a lot. But man... when they want something... Your wife probably wants to stay. So she's making it hard on you TO THE MAX!!! I mean.. TO THE EXTREME!!!

Good luck man. Good luck.
 
Holy crap, your kid is insane cute. Sell the tyke into show business in California, you'll make millions and then you and your wife can stay in Cali. Everybody wins. Look what it did for Lindsay Lohan (like all you haters wouldn't hit it in a second)

Krackato
using the word 'hater' for the first time evar!

Why can't it be when a woman wants her own way she is merely exercising her right to her own adult opinion? It's not that they are trying to be a little princess or a b!tch all the time, it's just that they are not automations that are there for whatever whim their boyfriends / husbands have.

I hate chicks like that. Fun to date when you don't want BS, but unless you care for a 'yes' man don't expect much.
 
alkemyst, I gotta stand by krackato here. 90% of the women I know refuse to make any decision (not even what flavor/size of coffee) on their own. And then they go in to Hyperb1tch Barbie mode when the decision I/their Husbands/Boyfriends make isn't what they wanted to do. It took me 6 relationships before I finally found the woman I could marry. She is very capable of asking for and doing things on her own - as long as power tools aren't required 😉.

I'm all for women's rights, I just wish most women would exercise them!
 
Well... We made it. Finally.

The fighting was done for a while... Until we were loading the trailer.

Let's just say it's shifted into another plane of existence.

We used a company called "UPack". Basically they drop off a 28 foot trailer at your house, you load up, measure how much of the trailer you used, and away it goes. To go from Cali to Colo it was $95 a linear foot of trailer, minimum charge $1200. I spent the 3 weeks I was in Colorado telling her to get rid of sh!t so we could keep it under 12 feet. I had $1500 budgeted for the truck. That's all I could pull off. So we needed to think small.

One of our fights when I got back was about the amount of crap she wanted. It ended up being that only MY crap got left out. She was moving everything, including gardening tools for an apartment without a friggin garden! And insisted on me bringing my sponges (boogie boards). WTF? Where the hell am I going to use those. Whatever...

Her brother and her dad were "helping" us load the truck. It ended up being me doing all the grunt work. As we got close to 12 feet, and I saw we still had tons of stuff I started saying, "We need to start re-thinking what we're bringing. We're out of space." Both she and her brother were telling me to not worry about it. I figured they had worked out something together and weren't going to tell me about it.

I was wrong.

We get here in Colo after a really screwed up drive out (whole 'nuther story) and I'm about a grand short of getting the truck. I tell my wife this and her response? "Can't you get one of those payday advances or something?"

...

Oh. My. Friggin. God.

I can pull it off, but crap.

I was only half joking when I told her to let them keep the sh!t. Nothing in there is worth $2k.

Oh, and to top it off... This morning on the way to my bus to go to work I slipped on some ice and fell flat on my back. I think I broke something and need to go to the doctor.

Go me.
