Niall 2: Drifting Apart

[Niall11]

H"I will get a bottle of wine, if you XYZ for me"

Woman at bar "Will you buy me a drink??"
ME: "Yes, if you buy me one first"

PASS THE TEST. Gain respect

^^^ And that's equal opportunity my friend...."I don't need a man..." "Can you light the grill, clean the pool, fix the hot water heater, take a look at that noise in my car, take out the garbage, reach that item high on the shelf, kill that spider, walk the dog?.. Yada yada" Let em learn what the single life entails...

They don't need a man, they are independant, but they sure don't mind all that alimony, child support, and free husbandly labor? Do they?

My W has kind of been like this. The "I don't need a man" only came in the last 8 months, but the "do all this stuff for me" has been there throughout. To be fair, prior to this mess she used to do a lot around the house and there were times I wasn't doing my share. But she's converted some legitimate anger about that into some narrative that I don't do anything with D2 or in the house at all. She's about to find out just how much nothing I do. Her life will not be the fabulous party that she's envisioning now.
