Cl, what can I say !!!. Other than you two have to be the oddest couple but as my mother would say you don't spoil another couple. Matilda is right why on earth is she not doing the housekeeping, for goodness sake, time to man up CL.
Your wife doesn't want a husband she wants a performing seal and once again you step up and be one.
There is just the two of you and a dog, that has to be removed or whatever you do with her when wifee throws a paddy. I had 3 children under 5 and assorted animals, looked after all of them and my business often away husband, washed cleaned arranged and cooked dinner parties etc, etc. This woman is beyond spoiled, and you just keep jumping as high as she demands.
You must know all about learned behaviour, even training animals. Do not leave the master bedroom.
Remind me what you are trying to restore ?? a marriage, did you ever have one. I thought I was beginning to see a glimmer of hope for you two, even given that no way do I understand either of you and it is not my place to judge but time and time again the talk has been of boundaries and it never happens when it really matters. I think I understand that you cannot cope with confrontation face to face and problems get sorted through emails , but it has to be now or never or else what happens from here on it will be what you deserve. OR what subconciously you think you deserve. Part of these new demands is because your wife has too much time on her hands and also lost her "playmate"
I hope you will find the strength and courage you need to stand up to her or throw her out.She has some sort of power over you, the take away thing is something my teens would have fought over and I would have stepped in and put it all in the bin and told them to grow up. Sorry I said too much, I hate to see you trampled under foot.
