hello everyone,
This is my first post here so please bear with me. I am just feeling very unappreciated by my wife lately and it is flowing over to our kids. My wife and I have had our problems throughout our 17 year marriage. Let me bring you up to the current situation. Back in 1999 my wife was hurt on the job and she had to have surgury on her knee. After the surgury she developed a nerve disease and can no longer work. During this time I have taken her to all of her Dr. Appts. The children and I do all the housework. I am working 2 jobs and going to college. Yesterday I had to drive over to her doctor's office on the other side of town to get her perscriptions and drive back over to our side of town and drop the perscriptions off to pick them up later. I get home and find out that the kids need some things from the store(which I do all the shopping also). As I am leaving I ask her if she wants some Mexican food from her favorite restaurant and she says yes. I go shopping, and get us some mexican food and come home. After we finish eating I go to get her perscription and she asks me to pick up some soda also while I am out. When I get back she has a scowl on her face and when I ask her what is wrong she says that she just had to clean up my mexican food and didn't appreciate it. I appologized we watched some tv and I went to bed. I am sleeping in a different room because of my snoring. I get up this morning to her yelling at me because my alarm that I have on my cell phone woke her up. I then go to the desk to get the paper that I have to correct for college and she starts going off on me again because I just left it sitting on the top of the desk. She says she is so over cleaning up after me. I think I do plenty and wonder that if I forget to put my foil in the garbage or put my paper away should I really get yelled at. Am I expecting too much? I know I have problems expressing my feelings too. She is very dominating and I still don't deal well with confrontation. If someone can give me some advise on this I would greatly appreciate it. .
