Scream Shout in Book Six: Trying to Hold On 2019

Well, in a new record we got Wife to “shouting at the absolute top of her lungs in rage” within 38 minutes of MBFITWW arriving.

Yesterday, she did not want to help me cook and said, “Let’s save this for tomorrow.” Awesome. More time to clean. Basement was already done completely, 3 Season room finished, so vacuuming and laundry! Wife said she’d do laundry on Friday so… looking good!!

Except… not? I got home, Wife was obsessing over homework again, so I took Nala for a walk. When I got home, Wife was (finally) cleaning the only room I specifically asked her to clean. I took a shower. MBFITWW arrived. Wife had finished cleaning. Time to cook. I was cooking and asked for her help. Not to TAKE OVER…for her help! She got really frustrated and angry with me. I stood my ground. Seriously… you said we would do this today… it is today… let’s do this! So she reluctantly said okay, sprinkled a few spices onto what I was cooking and started to walk away. The food was almost entirely cooked, I just needed her help to get ONE ingredient. I had to keep the recipe constantly moving or it would settle… NEEDED her help. I ask her to get Cottage Cheese out of the fridge. She instead grabs a drink for herself and shuts the fridge. So, yeah. I e press frustration with that. I asked her for something, she got something FOR HERSELF and DID NOT GET WHAT I ASKED HER and then shut the fridge. So then she says “I’m feeling very overwhelmed right now!” Then tries to correct me on something about the recipe. So I go over to the recipe to check and she SCREAMS AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS “It isn’t in the recipe!!” Then she storms off as her eyes well up with tears.

So… while doing 2 college classes… sweeping the kitchen, doing dishes, doing laundry, helping out with the dog, and cleaning 1 room is “far too overwhelming”. As opposed to play practice, full time job, preparing Jury Trials, taking care of most of the dog’s needs, and cleaning the Basement, Both Bathrooms, vacuuming the entire house, doing most of the cooking, and cleaning large parts of the house otherwise unmentioned… yeah. That is no big deal!

So… I think if we are going to stay together AT ALL…she needs to figure out how to just… handle adult life! Fuck!
