Question by jimbo_wy: why my wife acts the way she does?
there are something i am wondering about as to my wife’s actions that maybe someone can figure out. i have tried i know i am not perfect but i try to please her with no luck. i will just give a list not in any particular order and see what everyone thinks: 1) gets mad at any and everything i do or say. 2) goes into our living room instead of sitting in the family room where the tv is without any light and texts on the phone. 3) if she is in the family room and receives a text she instantly goes to living room; 4) she receives texts on a average of every 15 minutes. 5) she doesn’t clean house like she use to but gripes at me for not doing it( i work 10+ hours a day on a ranch) 6) she will be home all afternoon and do nothing then get mad if when i come in and don’t cook a meal. 7) i ask her if she wants to go somewhere and do something she won’t go(bowling-movies-etc). 
she works as a breakfast for a large motel 1/2 day and complains how tired she is which she is probably tired but on the same token i work outside all day and am too(but i don’t complain about it) 9) she sleep way on the other side of our king size bed with her back too me. she even gets up in the middle of the night and sleeps in her recliner. 10) sometimes when she is in a good mood we set down at the dining table she has a glass of wine or a beer and even set on the sofa; she will act like she is interested in making out then all of a sudden she just stops. her attitude changes and she becomes grumpy. 11) she may be in the kitchen and i go in there and try to get playful she either gets cold and ignores me or says “why did you do that” (in a grumpy voice) so i just go watch tv. 12) she even sleep with sweat pants now saying they keep her from having leg cramps. 13) as for holidays for some reason they aren’t good around here. for example i just dound out this week just befor christmas she is going to iowa(her kids house) which i was never even told about nor was i invited to go with her. 14) for some reason she bought christmas gifts when i wasn’t around; didn’t even know they were here until i saw wrapped packages. still don’t know or was even showed what she got the kids. 15) i went out because her old pickup was in serious condition got a loan and bought her a newer pickup for christmas then ordered a dash mat and when i went to pick it up she insisted she pay for it and handed me a $ 100 to pay with(she would not let me get it) 16) i know she has cashed her last 5 pay checks and put the money in her little safety box. she never deposits them, except for a couple way back. 17) she checks our online bank account status every day and if i buy something she gripes at me but it is ok if she says use the debit card. she also holds onto the check book like you wouldn’t believe unless i insist on looking at it then get mad. 18) she will not use any of her money to help pay on her credit card bills always uses my pay which is auto deposited. 19) when she does go to iowa she will call me everyday sometimes two or three times and ask “what are you doing” “where are you” then accuses me of having someone here which is totally untrue. when she does this she is always in front of her kids or best friend(a woman named linda). 20) if i call her when she is in iowa she angrily ask what do you want and sometimes i have called her as many as 20-30 times back to back before she answers her phone then replies “what do you want” 21) also when she is in iowa she seems to want to argue on the phone more when either i call or she calls. 22) when she does laundry she always does her clothes and leaves mine; i have even run out of work jeans ans did them myself. these are a few of the things she has started doing. when we first got married everything was good she couldn’t do enough for me now she hardly wants to do anything for me or with me.
she has already went through menopause. she is 58 yrs old. i know i am not perfect but she is always trying to make out like i am doing something and i am not and don’t want too.
funny the very day i posted this i called her at her work to see if she wanted to do something when she got off work. she said i don’t know i will decide when i get home. so just in case i cleaned up in case we went somewhere. she came in sat down at the table started telling me about her day; i was listening but made the mistake of looking at the tv. shortly there after she just blew up and started gripping at me like i was some kind of teenager. then started blaming me for starting an argument. she sat in living room in the dark for a long time then got up went to the bedroom closed the door; i finished watching a movie then went to bed and as usual she turned her back to me so i just went to sleep

Christmas Gift Ideas for Women
um i hope I’m not being offensive but maybe she could be going through menopause ?
one she is cheating or she is getting ready to leave you
I think maybe you need to back off, don’t give her as much attention as you are and don’t show her that it bothers you that she ignores you. Right now she has a lot of control over you. It sounds like she may be being unfaithful to you, but that’s something your going to have to find out.
Find something else to do when your home together, if she still cares it will drive her crazy. And if she asks you why you re being like that be honest, don’t sugarcoat it.
I know you’re tired from work hun but you might just have to take care of yourself for awhile and not rely on her. And if she keeps treating you like this it might be best to separate. There’s no reason to allow yourself to be miserable.
I feel badly for you. You seem like a hard working type and like a man who would be a good partner to the right women, but you have unfortunately married a secretive and selfish person who in no way, and I am sad to say this, in in love with you anymore. This is not how women act when they are invested in a relationship. Ans once a women has “checked out” (and I speak from experience) no amount of marriage counseling will probably get her back in. She certainly acts as if there is another man in the picture, as you have alluded. You financial stability is at stake. Do this: slowly start regaining the reigns of control over your finances. Hide money and save money. This is really preparation for divorce time. You will eventually have your self-esteem (and another, better quality women) but first unfortunately you may need to (carefully extricate yourself from this relationship which is clearly hurting your soul. We all need someone to unburden ourselves to, someone we can trust, a person who looks out for our well-being.She is not that women. Seriously, you would be less stressed if you were simply alone, than in this hell. Be calm, stay classy and dignified, and do not be walked on. Keep a cool head, and see out someone you can talk this whole painful mess out with. All my best thoughts and prayers go with you in this hard time. Many have gone through similar misery and find getting free opens up new worlds of possibilities, and more peace. You deserve a great deal more than this.
No 1 Wakw up.
NO2 She doesnt give a hoot about you.
NO3 Why are you taking this? And the list goes on but i think there is no love left on her part and she may be having fun somwhere else Sorry.
Tell her to shape up or move out.Maybe then she’ll realize that you are not her door mat any longer.
She wooed you and know she has you. Mentalpause or not you deserve something in these 22 rants. You need to put your foot down. Simple as that, you tell that old witch to get off her broom and start sweeping up around the house, get some hot meals cooked and some/all your clothes cleaned. If that is too scary for you then try this: ignore her, take your laundry out to be cleaned (unbeknown to her), bring it back Downy fresh and cleaned, freshen yourself up before you come home from work, put on some nice smelling Cologne, and for goodness sake keep looking at yourself in the mirror at home (don’t forget to say, umh I look good), spine up and get some control over the money. If she has a private stash for a rainy or fallout day, you should too. So, many men have found themselves left penniless for not taking control of their lives or having prepared that rainy day stash too. Stop chasing her and let her chase you for a minute. Spine up dude and get to it.
