Also I do remember that back in March your wife was very considerate about your desire to watch your beloved Jayhawks get beat in the tourney. I thought she even gave you a kiss and said she was sorry they lost. That does not sound like a heartless, unreasonable b1tch to me.
Yes, she does have her moments.

She will go to N. Illinois, leaving me to "hold down the fort" while she visits her family, or she will leave me to "hold down the fort" while she goes on a three-day cancer walk, or a weekend residential retreat, but I am, dependably, always there. Holding down the fort, managing, always, there. I could count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I have left her to "hold down the fort" in the last four years, and all but one of those times was a business trip lasting, max, two days. The ONE time I was gone on a personal trip was to Tucson, when my friend got married. As I recall, we paid for that out of joint funds. I invited her to come, but she said no.
It was definitely "our" idea to redo the kitchen. Well, I wanted a stove to replace the one we have because the oven is broken. She kind of took that and ran with it, which is fine with me since I do the lion's share of cooking anyway. The trees? Well, that's just a necessary homeowner thing, so that was a joint decision. The decision to have me do the wall prep in the kitchen, well, that was mine, because I saw it as a way of saving money, providing sweat equity, and pride in ownership. I didn't expect big kudos from her for that, and haven't gotten any, but I only seem to care about her lack of kudos when she is criticizing me for being selfish, or for being lazy or distracted. I am current on my child support. It comes directly out of my paycheck, so she never touches it.
