I just got this text "You need to be in a better mood today. I was so excited to be home and see you and you were a complete *******."
I was being an ******* and here's why. My wife got a free trip to hawaii through some friends, great, but right before she was to go we found out the house we were renting was sold. So we hurried and found a new place and moved out. Outside of my brothers helping me lift out a few big things into trailers I packed up, loaded, transported, unloaded and cleaned the entire house by myself. So thats ****ing annoying. I didnt put the stuff away at the new house because A. I didnt want to and B I didnt have time. So I stayed with my parents while my wife was in hawaii so they could help with the kids while I was at work and could watch the kids while I did stuff at the new house. I get the beds set up and everything to make it liveable enough before she gets home and then the plan is to spend a day or two getting everything situated after she gets back.
Well her first day back she starts texting me at 11 am saying she is jet lagged and sick and needs help with the kids and if I could come home early and help her that would be great. Seriously, so I start to get annoyed. Then I guess they take naps and what not. I leave a bit early and get home around 5. She's laying in bed acting like shes got the hanta virus or something ridicuous. "Can you take the kids somewhere for a bit so I can rest? I feel so crappy." Ummm, I just got home from work, but sure I'll take the kids some random place so you can rest some more I guess. Mind you NOTHING has been done around the house. Not one thing. So I step up my pissed off ness 2 more steps. I take the kids to Target to get some necessities and come back. I walk in the door and she says "I dont feel like cooking can you go pick up take out from this place?" This place is RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from target where I just came from! "Sure. I mean I was literally within 100 feet from that place 15 min ago so you could have called or something." I go back and get it. We eat. Still annoyed, but whatever. So I start putting stuff away in my daughters room. She is laying in bed. I go in and stare at her for a bit. "What? I'm getting our son to sleep." He's 1, you give him a bottle throw him in his crib and he falls asleep. She's not doing ****. I do my daughters room by myslef go in and stand there again. She's still laying in bed. "Ugghhh he was almost asleep until you came in!" "Just wondering if you're going to help or not?" "When he falls asleep I will." I do his room by myself. She finally gets out of bed and starts doing stuff. So yeah, I'm in a terrible mood by this point. Do you blame me? No big blowups but still super annoyed. We both fall asleep. All is well until I get this text.
Now I could turn this into a big drawn out fight where she is completely in the wrong but I am somehow still the *******. Or I could say ya, I'm in a great mood see you tonight. Choices.

For the sake of this thread, option 1 would be best. For your sanity and well-being though, take number 2.

I took #2. I said, "I'm in a great mood I can't wait to see you tonight." To which she replied "I'm serious." To which I replied, "Me too." If she doesnt ****ing drop it its on though.

I hate to change the tone of this thread, but I have to brag on my wife. This move to Germany has been hands-down the most stressful thing I have ever gone through. The relocation package was reduced after we committed to it, and they have been nickle and diming us on every reimbursement. We had a hell of a time moving our house. The dogs got stuck in transit for a day and a half. And on top of it all I am finding my german is more than a little rusty and I have been nearly clueless through the first couple of weeks, yet I am supposed to be the senior manager here. Needless to say I have been a basket case. But my wife has been a shining star. She is excited for the adventure and has patiently taken all my complaining, and hugged me when I needed it, and been there in other ways too. She has been happy every time I came home from work, and has taken awesome care of the house. She has had a few moments of exasperation but they have been mostly kid-related which happens no matter what country you are in. I don't know what I would do without her. Wow did I ever get lucky.

Everything takes twice as long to do with my wife than I could do myself. If my 2 kids are involved make it 4 times as long.
.
I'm a get it done kind of guy. She wants to think about it, talk about it, then dawdle about it kind of person.
I'm like it is a freaking gallon of milk put it in the cart this shopping trip should have been done an hour ago. Yes I know we have been here an hour and 10 minutes, that's what I mean why are we not home already?

Yep.. My wife will spend 30 minutes hand-wringing about ALL that needs to get done but NO time. The to do list is actually like 1) go to grocery, and 2) put food away. Then she is exhausted after shopping and can't imagine putting the stuff away.Everything takes twice as long to do with my wife than I could do myself. If my 2 kids are involved make it 4 times as long.

Meanwhile, she hasn't worked since I met her at Hooters more than 15 years ago, we have a 30hr/week nanny, and she is overwhelmed by life.

She exists.
That is all.

That's harsh.

I am not denying this statement.
