I married a dumb cunt.

submitted by anon to AnonWhatever 10 monthsJul 23, 2024 16:35:23 ago (+10/-2)     (AnonWhatever)

I married a dumb cunt. It's 100% my fault. This happened because I didn't have many prospects. If there's any value to this, let this be a warning to you. We've seen how one act of despair ends up making this far worse and unfixable later on, like that endlessly long post from that woman that married a drunkard to have kids. She's fucked and so am I.

I have a kid and one on the way. I am fucked, no way out. She's a disorganized slob. The red flags were there along the way but I didn't know any better. I didn't have a lot of choices or experience. I didn't have to do this. If I could go back I would and tell myself just wait a little longer you'll find someone worth your while.

I had another kid because my son needs a sibling. I was an only child and my parents left me and that was very hard. Still is.

Because of this woman I have given up on everything. Work hard, for fucking what? The house is a constant mess from the shit she leaves behind. She never vacuums the house, doesn't pick up after herself, leaves dirty dishes everywhere. She expects me to pick up after her because "she's busy". I ask her, do you expect me to wipe your ass for you, too? Then she starts yelling at me. I spend most of my day trying to find work and working on the house. I fix everything around here. We bought this house top dollar at the height of this recent bubble because we were having a kid and didn't want to rent anymore. It was her idea, too. I kept insisting to move away from this expensive area, to get fuck out of this crazy shitlib state. Of course she opposed me then because she didn't follow politics at all but STILL HAD AN OPINION, now she wants to leave, too. Well fucking how, you dumb bitch??? We blew our savings on this place now we are STUCK. I am glad you finally wised up in some regard but it's TOO LATE.

The house needed work. It still needs work, I am fixing old rot that was left. I can't even list the number of things that I have fixed around here. It would have cost tens and tens of thousands of dollars to fix all this shit. I am fighting the yard, trying to keep on top of all the shit that grows. I want to cut some stuff down to make it easier to maintain, but she doesn't want me to. Note that she never goes out to pluck weeds, or cut the grass or anything. She just tells me what I can and can't do from her fucking high tower. She has ZERO understanding about the amount of work that it takes.

I am so sick of this shit. I feel like I want to go out for a pack of cigarettes and never come back. According to a lot of people I would be a scumbag if I did that. Instead I am expected to be here, a slave to this dumb situation. I am only here for the kids. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. I play a few games here and there to forget about my shit life. Surely if I didn't spent 2 hours a day playing, I would have time for a full time job, travel and still do all the work outside the house and inside, picking up after her included, and have time to spend with my son? Right. Two hours will magically transform in 8-9, right?

She's so fucking dumb, I now tell it to her face. She comes down for a snack, takes shit out of the fridge, then being the forgetful dumb shit that she is, remembers she has a meeting, so she runs off. She comes back, finding out that she doesn't actually have a meeting, and at that point I notice there is shit on the counter that is supposed to be in the fridge. I am like, WTF, why is this out? So I ask her. Then she starts flipping her shit and starts yelling at me for "putting her down". Note that at this point all I said was "why is this out? Did you take it? -Yes. Ok, why didn't you put it back before you left?" Then she starts yelling how she has no time for this and that and insinuates that I am supposed to go around looking for shit she left out, picking up after her, like I am some kind of fucking servant. She didn't pick up after herself when I was working full time EITHER and I still had the house to take care of. She keeps holding that over my head how I don't have a job. Soon enough I will find work, but she will change NOTHING and less shit will get done, because WE'VE ALREADY BEEN THERE. She once left an apple core THREE FUCKING DAYS on the counter until we got fruit flies. We had a fight over than when I eventually snapped and confronted her about it.

A few days ago she left the milk out 2 hours. It was ruined, then she puts it back in the fridge, to serve later to our son. WTF man, how fucking dumb is she? Do I ask her to go around outside and pick up the tools after I am done? I don't know what to do anymore, I think I have to abandon working on the house entirely, find a job and move out. Let her deal with whatever the fuck comes after that. I wasn't born to be this bitch's assistant. I feel really bad for my son, what kind of fucked up ways will he learn from this bitch.

Marriage is dumb, women are stupid. If you're gonna get married just be aware ALL THE SHIT that you DON'T LIKE in them will NEVER CHANGE. And eventually your GOODWILL will RUN OUT and all will be left are the PROBLEMS that you IGNORED. Better to be alone than chained to a hag. If you're single right now THANK YOURSELF and know that I WISH I WAS YOU!

I am buying an RV and sticking a bike on the back. She's on thin ice, every shit fight she starts another limb on the hangman gets drawn. When it finishes I am leaving this bitch and she can FIGURE IT ALL OUT. Fuck this house, fuck all the money that is lost, I just want the rest my life back! I OWE HER NOTHING!

My sympathy, dude. I see similarities with my own situation except yours is much worse e.g. "I want to cut some stuff down to make it easier to maintain, but she doesn't want me to.". A protea tree has fallen over in our yard because its base is partly rotted. I want to chop it up because I can't get to an area of the yard I need to where I have containers stored and it makes turning the compost heap difficult but bird-brain doesn't want me to because the thing still has leaves/flowers.But when it does eventually die no doubt my back will be playing up and I won't be able to cut it. It will eventually become a fire risk. My life is far more difficult than it needs to be because of bird-brain!

She's fucked and so am I.

hahaha we're all fucked. its ok.

start throwing things away. if theres not a spot for them throw them away.Do you have "off hours"? I understand you're working on the house but if you dont have off hours its like being at work 24/7 which would explain your breaking down.

one on the way

oh plus pregnancy brain. You're dealing with pregnancy brain with the forgetfullness. Must not be far along if she hasnt started nesting yet.

We've been fighting for three years, constantly. Pregnancy brain ain't it anymore. That apple story is 3 years old. When I met her, many many years ago, I saw the biggest pile of dirty laundry I've ever seen in my life where she lived. That's how she lived. Again, my fault. I didn't understand the significance of that.

How much coffee did you have today? Looks like you drink a lot of it. You should probably stop.

[ - ] anon 9130345 [op] 1 point 10 monthsJul 23, 2024 17:18:34 ago (+1/-0)

I can't do shit without coffee. I am enslaved to it. My brain doesn't produce enough dopamine to motivate me or something. I've been trying to quit because you're right about it. But on hard days I end up doing nothing because I feel like it's all pointless.

[ - ] anon 2397169 3 points 10 monthsJul 23, 2024 17:26:38 ago (+4/-1)

It is obvious you are fucking wired. The drug most responsible for road rage is caffeine. Your reactions and the things you are reacting to- dirty dishes and a messy house... just like wired out road-rager that was cut off in traffic.

Oh, did you have to touch your brakes to merge? THAT MOTHERFUCKER I WILL END HER.

Less coffee. Oolong tea is the way. No booze. Maybe some weed.

Of course she is dumb, she married you.

Maybe it will make more sense to you after you hit that bong. It's pretty rich you insult someone and then expect them to take it, but then again, you are a pothead, so should I be surprised? If you have no sense of cleanliness maybe it's because you live in your mother's basement and she still picks up after you.

Insult? Oh, the "married you = dumb" is what put the sand in your pussy? You are a piece of work. The booze and caffine have you on a program. It was an old, common joke... and your response says everything I sensed fron your first post is accurate. Caffinated boozehound. Bet you'd like to hit your wife you get so mad. What a fucking winner.

And don't go hitting a bong more than once or twice a year. Pax vaporizer is the best inhalation method. Edibles are the most powerful.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 1 point 10 monthsAug 14, 2024 14:09:56 ago (+1/-0)

@Sector2 is right, I have posted a few diatribes on this subject. I felt enslaved to coffee and that I needed it to “get shit done”. I thought maybe I too had an “imbalance” , hey maybe I do. But Im off the caffeine and Im not any worse at getting shit done. That is the illusion of the addiction: that since you need the drug to feel a certain way when you are addicted, you will never feel that way again if you stop the drug. The caffeine addiction dysregulates your brain so that you feel lethargic when you don’t have it. When you stop caffeine completely, you will start to feel energetic again naturally after a few weeks of withdrawal.
I have low energy and trouble staying on top of my ‘to do’ lists. I have always been that way. Caffeine does not help that problem in any long term way. I still struggle to get things done but I am at least as energetic if not more so than when I used caffeine. The clear benefits are that I wake up feeling good and not needing a fix and I do not OD on caffeine and act like a wound up bitch. Honestly my moods are much more even — less “Mr. Hyde” if you get my drift.

Switch to half caf and then decaf, limit the number of cups you have in a day until you are down to 1 and then go to zero. You’ll feel really tired for a month, then you will be free of it. You can do it, absolutely, and you will feel better and more in control— less spikey and moody and emotiaonally raw. Saner. That was my experience. It’s hard : caffeine is a ferocious addiction and it is absolutely a psychoactive drug. I was a drinker and a smoker and this was as hard to quit as those were. But if I can do it, anybody can. After all, Im just a stupid female who thinks with her ovaries!

I can't do shit without coffee.
Realize that is the addiction talking and your body will produce the same dopamine without caffeine. Your brain will readjust to life without caffeine and you will have the same motivation to accomplish things that you do now but you will feel healthier after you lose the angst and stress of the unnecessary drug addiction you live with now.

I just read your post (yes, Im late to the party, what do you want? Im a woman) and I really feel sorry for your situation. I felt like there were a few opportunities I had to “settle” and I passed them by. Now Im alone. Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Its a tough world out there and it would be good to have a partner. I feel like ultimately we all have to do some settling in this life, especially if you want to have a family, or even friends. You can make this about males vs. females. But I dont think it really is. She is not perfect. You are not perfect. Its hard to live with imperfect people.

Lots of people on here gave you reasonable advice. I think at this point you feel so contemptuous toward your wife that you cant see the situation clearly. I get that and I have been there.

IMO this is a partnership that is breaking down because the roles and responsibilities of the partners are not clear. You feel disrespected by her messiness. You pay her back with contempt. Its not a solution.

While Im not a fan of psychologists, I do think you might benefit from limited councilling. You need a third party willing to help you draw up a plan or agreement that allocates a set of responsibilities to you and to her. It could be a minister or a football referee. But there should be someone who is unbiased and who is helping to keep you both accountable to the agreement. She will be more amenable to staying tidy when her sloppiness is being reported, and she will see the benefit of tidiness when you keep up your side of the agreement. Try a few sessions.

Realize that you are in a mental rut and —just like the caffeine situation— you are unable to see the solutions available to you. My guess is that your wife is not terribly stupid, just a bit thoughtless, but the situation seems much worse because you are depressed. She may be depressed too. Try to resist the need to catastrophize (“It’s all pointless!!”) and take rational steps to solve discrete problems. If the biggest problem is her sloppiness, that is something that can definitely be improved on! Make sure to approach the issue in a calm and constructive way. A councillor will help.

I really hope you can make it work and keep your family together. Good luck.

You're like an example right out of a PWH diatribe on coffee addiction. A cup or two of coffee in the morning is fine for most people, but you're no different than an alcoholic. No wonder your life is a mess, you're an addict... That is your primary problem, not your wife.

Quit feeding your addiction and become a healthy person instead. Exercise, eat healthy food regularly, and sleep at night. But don't do this until you're ready to lose the drama and misery.

Why? You'd be far less tense if you had more sex. You need to bond, get out, go for a walk. You are frustrated and it's not all her fault. Your job situation is stressful and you have no release. Stop watching porn and wanking off. Go screw your wives brains out. Report back

I hear ya. Life is a lesson. Ultimately you have to step up and lead your family - including her. Not with aggression but with the realization she's just a big sized child herself.

No real advice except put yourselves in a position to clear your debt if possible, for if / when the marriage truly falls on it's face. Or lead her by the hair into her 'Wanting to ' become a better wife and mother, but she'll need an actual honest reason for that change and you leading by example is a key factor.

Otherwise continue to Work on a providing a good environment for your kids and be in a position for full custody - if she is as you suggest - who do you honestly think would be a more productive parent for the wellbeing and welfare of the children ?.

I would rather be dead broke, poor and happy, than financially struggling, constantly pissed off, mad and depressed. So presumably, would the children.

Good luck.

I am buying an RV and sticking a bike on the back.

You can build a pretty bitchin' solar system on the top of one of those. Keep yourself cool/heated with all the entertainment and comforts of home.

The house needed work. It still needs work, I am fixing old rot that was left. I can't even list the number of things that I have fixed around here. It would have cost tens and tens of thousands of dollars to fix all this shit. I am fighting the yard, trying to keep on top of all the shit that grows.

I hear ya on that. Mine is 90+ years old and I'll still be working on it the day I die. I've made headway on it, as it no longer takes me 5+ hours to mow, only 2 stints of 1.5hrs over two days. Less trees to take care of, keep up on the shit that's always trying to grow through the fence, and so on. Even starting to make some minor upgrades. But it takes a shitload of work.


That being said, there may be some things you can do to change things at home. Sit her down for a talk, remove things from the home that are issues, like extra plates, shitty food, too many cloths, etc. Minimize things to the point that there simply isn't an option to have dirty dishes or too many dirty cloths.

Don't give her money, do the shopping yourself, and only have a small amount of good foods that you have to cook yourself available, and make her cook it. Make the changes you want to the house, you're the one doing it all. She can have a say in doing the 4 dishes or the small amount of dirty laundry, and maybe the cooking once she loses the weight.

You need to stop listening to her and take charge. Maybe you can save it, maybe you can't. Be prepared for either, talk to a lawyer, and for god's sake don't tell her about it. There are write-ups out there about how to prepare from a man's perspective. Don't use google, try yandex.

I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. I play a few games here and there to forget about my shit life.

Women hate hate hate when a man isn't paying attention to her and only her when he's not earning her money. If she bitches about games, she'll bitch about sportsball, racing, working out, running, biking, sailing, whatever.

Last note, take care to take any actions outside of the heat of the moment. Do not prepare or do things when emotional. Do it in the pure cold logic a man is capable of.

Good luck faggot.

The shitty thing is, when I am not angry, I don't do anything to leave. I just sit here and keep doing the same thing thinking/hoping it will work out or somehow get better. I gathered a collection of tools to take care of this place and our cars. I am so invested. Selling these tools is painful. I lucked out and found some cheap and fixed them up. I did a lot of work to get into this state and getting out of it is a lot of work, but it's so much more painful as I am tearing down my dream of having a home, a family. I just want it to end quickly, if it does.

You don't argue with women with words. She's going to just always have more useless words.

You need to get the control that you never had from the start.

Live as if she is invisible. Get a big bucket or box of some kind and put EVERYTHING she leaves out in it, and constantly do that. All of her messes. When she says anything just tell her she has no respect, you have none for her either. It's like training a dog. Be consistent because she won't change. If she's no longer a person to you, and her opinion is irrelevant, it's easier to disengage your own emotions and have a better time of it.

Make it clear her words mean nothing.

[ - ] Tallest_Skil 4 points 10 monthsJul 23, 2024 16:46:01 ago (+4/-0)

Have you tried disobeying her?

I want to cut some stuff down to make it easier to maintain, but she doesn't want me to.

Did you pay for the property? If so, cut whatever you want to cut and tell her to plant what she wants if she wants it so much.

If you’re the sole breadwinner, you have a divorce case that ends with you getting full custody and the house so your children aren’t poisoned as they grow.

My two cents. You need to stop thinking of her problem and your problem or her chores and your chores. For better or worse, you two are parents, about to be x2. At that point all problems are family problems and all work is family work. If you see something that needs done, you do it, you preach that to your kids and she'll eventually pick it up from them.

I won't pull punches, the next few years are gonna suck for you. They do for all new parents. My advice, you need to learn to just say fuck it. Piles of laundry, fuck it. Dishes, fuck it. Toys a mess, fuck it. Theres never enough time to do everything that needs done. These years will suck, but they'll also fly by. So learn how to say whatever fuck it to lots of bull shit and focus on your kids as much as possible.

If you're here hopefully you already know don't Vax, don't circumcise, and home school if possible.

As far as arguing with the wife goes, most people here are right. You're wasting your time with words. Women don't respond to words. And especially don't insult her for fuck sakes. You're a family, insulting her is insulting your own family! If you don't have nothing nice to say don't say nothing. And don't be afraid to not say anything. You don't need to fill all your time together with conversation, learn to be comfortable just sitting quietly.

Your kids need their family. You can do this. It's hard for everyone and you're not alone. Do the best you can everyday and eventually it'll get better.

And congrats on kid #2.

Walking out destroys kids.

Try to fix this, but do not depend upon her to do so.

She may have ADHD, so then it is not on purpose.

If you are insulting her and she has ADHD it's not useful and productive.

With memory, there is registration, retention, and recall as well as recall-triggers

Being unable to focus fucks up registration of important information.

Look into time management and see if you get more of what you want done.

I have no-shit ADHD, not the bullshit self-diagnosed bullshit that somehow became a fad in the last couple of decades.

It is not an excuse to be a lazy fat stupid cunty slob. That shit is aaaaall on her.

It's hard get things done if you cannot focus

It's not that you cannot focus, it's that your focus works differently. Learn to use it properly. You won't live like a 'normal' person, nor would I want to. Being a lazy piece of shit isn't because of ADHD.

My best friend likely has it...once he got into his later 20s he figured out how to use it like a superpower.

OP casually glances over wife is pregnant. Pregnancy brain explains a lot.

Focus is self discipline. A backbone.

And it's also hard to get things done if you're an entitled, lazy, cunt.

I think anon was explaining how people who would be classified as ADHD do things differently and some techniques can make a big difference. They can make something that requires extreme willpower be easier. It's a question of whether you want to blame or improve things.

So what is the difference between ADHD and being an idiot? How is that MY PROBLEM that SHE HAS ADHD? It's her fucking problem especially when she blames everything else but herself, for not picking things up.

[ - ] anon 5137987 3 points 10 monthsJul 23, 2024 17:04:36 ago (+3/-0)*

An idiot cannot be fixed.

Being unable to focus and defensive is different.

If a person just had trouble focusing that can be fixed

It's not your fault if she cannot focus, but if she cannot focus, it'll be hard as hell for her to figure that out.

If she cannot focus she cannot register a memory.


Imagine you need to bring your phone with you to a room to brush your teeth. And cannot focus. You put your phone down someplace get to the room and forget why you came.

Then you leave and see someone left out their phone - it's a mess so you complain.

Now imagine all the information you take in all day, it's scattered and disorganized, and people are pissed off with you.

A pencil and notepad can get around being unable to focus, maybe buy a nice small one for her, one she likes

Another bit is memory triggers.

People can have information in memory but not access it at the correct time. To get around that check the notes periodically.

It's your problem because you married her.
You have two children right now, one is your wife. You're about to have three.

Learn to take charge, that does not mean 'being mean' or yelling at her.
It means doing what needs to be done and realizing there may indeed be no thanks for it.
And it definitely does not mean acting like a door mat for her to step on.
Don't argue, do.

Sometimes messes are okay, learn to live with a little more discomfort than you are used to.
You do not want your first mistake to raise your two children into becoming just like her.
Take charge and prevent your children from becoming ruined.

I wish you the best, and hope you can find it in you to become the man they need.

You need to be calm. Sounds like you are getting angry and that is leading to her feeling you are picking fights.
Make a plan about what needs to be done, both for the house and for the relationship. Calmly let her know the plan, and follow through. You need to be the adult here, control your emotions and don't get involved in any fights.
Take her on a date, and keep it nice and fun. Either you turn this around or your kids will suffer.

[ - ] anon 9130345 [op] 1 point 10 monthsJul 23, 2024 17:28:30 ago (+1/-0)

We can't go on a date because we don't have time. There's nobody to take care of our son while we do that. Our parents are thousands of miles away. I don't much enjoy spending time with her anymore, anyway, and I don't think she does either. When she gets some free time she just goes to play that faggy Baldur's Gate. I actually, really don't like her anymore. I think of her as an inferior person, a dumbass that tricked me into believing she's marriage material.

[ - ] AugustineOfHippo2 5 points 10 monthsJul 23, 2024 18:01:37 ago (+5/-0)

you need to work on your relationship and try to grow together. If you aren't able to go on a date, then do something else, like taking walks together as a family up to the park. don't make excuses. this is the work that it takes for a marriage to be successful. she is who she is, you can't get upset at her for that.

[ - ] anon 1823254 4 points 10 monthsJul 23, 2024 17:30:13 ago (+4/-0)

pssst, hey buddy, they're all fucked in the head. just in different ways. dont be a piece of shit to your kids. find a way to make it work.

[ - ] anon 9130345 [op] 1 point 10 monthsJul 23, 2024 17:37:42 ago (+1/-0)

So what, is this normal? Is this what other men deal with on a daily basis? I have no clue what marriage is supposed to be. My parents left me when I was 5.

[ - ] anon 1823254 4 points 10 monthsJul 23, 2024 21:01:09 ago (+4/-0)

Yeah it is normal. Women are like rebellious children. They need to constantly be corrected. If they know you love them and they judge you to be someone who has shit figured out and under control, they will naturally follow you. They will still shit-test you constantly to reassure themselves that you are a strong man who has his shit in order, but they can't help but follow.

#1 keep your emotions under control at all times. Be firm about things but don;t let her see you worry or be weak ever. Anger should be visible to her virtually never.

Also get back to a full time job asap.

Pray for guidance. Talk to God. Ask for His help.

I have three kids and we're about 800 miles from family. We don't have the means to go out since we lack trustworthy babysitters.

It will continue to suck. Figuring a way to seperate yourself from the house and her more frequently will help. I do not know how else to motivate her other than to talk down and that her like the dumb teenager she acts like.

Is she pregnant right now, and if so, how far along? This is important...hormonal women are even dumber than normal. Pregnancy brain is real.

A lot of guys don't realize how much of a parent to their partner they were already being until they have kids. I'm wondering if that's what happened here with OP. He realizes he's the sole genuine adult in the house and resents it.

I wish there was a way to ping OP...this is likely the answer.

I think of mine as an inferior person as well. I think this is the hump everyone says you're supposed to go through. Apparently something magical is going to happen

I sympathize with you OP, but just remember, you did marry a dumb cunt but your wife has it worse.

I was with you until this:

"We bought this house top dollar at the height of this recent bubble because we were having a kid and didn't want to rent anymore. It was her idea, too. I kept insisting to move away from this expensive area, to get fuck out of this crazy shitlib state. Of course she opposed me then because she didn't follow politics at all but STILL HAD AN OPINION, now she wants to leave, too."

You are not a strong leader. You're not any kind of leader. You deferred to your woman instead of you two deciding on a path ahead together and now you put your family's financial security and future at stake.

All the problems you listed are because you don't lead the household. Stop complaining and buck up.
