User ID: 79934520 ![]() 04/06/2021 11:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All I want is serenity and day after day it's chaos, mostly on account of my severely emotional wife. Quoting: The_Meridian She has to have blow-outs with children on a daily basis or she goes out of her way to misunderstand me so she can have a blow out with me. I work six days a week, physical labor. The 3 kids are 12 and under. She expects us all to satisfy an imaginary ideal world in which she fantasizes and cannot handle it when we act like human beings. How do you cope? I have dreams of meditation, fasting and enlightenment but instead I have crying, yelling, shouting, and drama everywhere I look and I have to spend 1/2 my day advocating for children. Then you should have kept your pecker in your pants and become a monk. It's called life dude. Deal with it. That's not life for me. Wife and I never fight, have a 7 month old and it's heaven on earth. So no it's not life, OP came with problem, and you're just being cock |

A rock in good hands killed Goliath. It isn't about the rock. A true warrior fights not because he hates the one in front of him, but because he loves those behind him. INTP-A |

Your children are a reflection of you, and your missus. Heal them or you will end up with psychotic crackheads because you need 'a safe space'. You should listen to more JP on being an adult. If you are not busy weaving your own magick, you are trapped in anothers spell. “It’s time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet.” – Marcus Aurelius |

NEVER COOKED, I GOT HOME A1 AM BED BY 2:30, UP AT 7 AM TO GET THEM READY, PACK LUNCHES, DRESSED ETC.THEN FROM 8 AM TO 2 PM I WOULD DO SERVICE CALLS ORDER, MAKE SALES, THEN GO TO WORK, AND 12 HOURS A DAY PLUS MANDATORY SATURDAY WERE ON THE TABLE. I GAVE THEM SAT. BUT NOT TOO MANY 12's. SHE WAS A SCREAMER, VIOLENT. RAPE AND INCEST I FINALLY FOUND OUT WILL DO THAT. IT ALLOWS DEMONS TO TAKE OVER. HOW DO YOU COPE/ STAY CLOSE TO GOD. GO TO THE WELL DAILY AND OFTEN TO GET CHARGED UP WITH SPIRITUAL LOVE, GET KNOCKED DOWN GET RECHARGED. BUT I GOT ILL AND COULD NOT DO IT ANYMORE. then hopefully you have loving parents to help. Yep I ruined a big part a important part of my life by being a flaming co-dependent.

I'm just a product of insufficient modality. Humans of Earth! I have come in peace. You need not fear me. I mean you no harm. However, it may be important to know that most of you will not survive the next 24 hours. And those of you who do survive will be enslaved and experimented on. You should in no way take any of this personally — it's just business! |

User ID: 80174841 ![]() 04/07/2021 01:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP you have 2 options: 1- sacrifice yourself for the sake of your kids, suck it up, keep your head down and let the wife and kids treat you like shit and zap any kind of goodness and vital energy you have for the rest of your life in hopes that at some point they'll thank you for all you did. Spoiler alert: they won't. Most children are more influenced by the mother than the father. And it's a guaranteed she's already berating you and bad mouthing you to your kids. They'll grow up despising you for being a spineless cuck. 2- run. Move, get a life somewhere and try to be in their lives somehow, don't forget birthdays and such. Eventually they'll realize what a psycho the mom is and either they'll warm up to you and will want you in their lives, or not. Either way, they are already being poisoned by mom so your chances of changing that is quite slim. The difference is, with option 1 you'll sacrifice your life for nothing, they'll hate you anyways, but with option 2, you'll safeguard your sanity and any chance at happiness you have left and they'll hate you anyways. I think the least effort road is the more logic but hey, up to you mate. |

Giving me bad karma for that, is anti-religious (you're passing judgement) I am just a man. Of no significance.

You don't just pack up and go when the going gets tough, you push through and fix it. Most of the time the issue is communication. Are you perfect? Is there something you're not giving her? Are you making her feel loved and wanted? Did you let her take the role of the man because you're not taking it? How do you see her? Where is your focus? Is it on her flaws or on her strength? Why did you get together? Close your eyes, see your best times in front of you, feel how it makes you feel, see the good things she did and does.. Give power to that feeling, appreciate her for the good she does, tell her those things. Be the change.. You don't just simply get to walk out, unless you want to be a soft, whiny boy. You find out what's wrong and be there for her. |

All OP has to do is prove his wife is behaving in a unacceptable manner by not resorting to force because that will show her he's emotionally weak. IF OP shows his wife he'll be fine, or better off without her. She'll suck up to him because she'll be afraid to lose her "happy" home.

A wife that obviously doesn't love them enough to show them that their man's mental health is more important than a badly written piece of real life relationship drama soap opera, for the purpose of providing a bad backdrop to their otherwise uninteresting lives? Is pussy in middle aged life, really worth the hassle of juggling work with badly dramatized home life and the prospect of whining kids? The ladies who believe in woman power are right! It's your fault it's happening to you, IF you were really that unhappy you'd be out the door. Men are suckers who don't have the balls to bounce and just sook to anyone who will listen to their whinging. I think it's sad when your woman has bigger balls than you...
