The wife and kid came back from a 5 days vacation. At first I was sad that they had left me alone in the house, but after a few hours of sitting around the house I picked up my back pack, sleeping back and tent and headed out for some camping. Came back before the wife got back from Hawaii. Picked up the wife at the airport Monday night around 10pm, she did not even bother giving me a hello kiss. She started complaining about her trip yadda yadda yadda and said that she couldn't do anything and that she missed me. We got home from the airport and she started telling me what to do get her backs, get the kid's bag. Life was so simple without her for 5 days. This morning she tells me what do to get this for the baby, make sure she's all bundle up.... yadda yadda yadda.... Half way our commute to work I asked her if she locked the door, we got into a big argument, I was very defiant of not going back home because I was not the last person to leave the house. So she went back. The thing is she came back from her lovely vacation from Hawaii and she comes back home and starts telling me what to do. Is this normal for a women? Here I sit comptemplating what to do? My problem - when she's away I am comfortable in my own space, but when she is around she starts to irritate me and I feel that she delegate so many things to me. Yes I do change the diapers on the child, yes I do cook more than her, and yes I clean up after her mess and I've told her several times then we get into arguments. I am exhausted fellas and I'm sure she is too. What advice can you give me to improve our communication or for me not to get irritated when she ask or tell me what to do. We've been married for 7 years and has been together for 10 years that's 17 years combined. Is our marriage falling apart? Am I loosing interest. Or being a father and a husband is just totally stressful.

Time away together without the usual stressors helps. We all live such fast paced lives, wanting to have it all, NOW, that we forget about the simple things. The other day we drove around looking at houses, mainly just killing time, one thing I noticed about all these big houses, no one was outside. They have these big mansions but then everyone goes to the Mall, movies, etc. We spend a lot of time together, doing nothing but sitting on the back porch, relaxing. Being a father/husband is stressful. I used to measure the work but realized that didn'g accomplish anything but getting her and me upset.

Slow down, relax, and communicate.

We did have time away from each other. She went to Hawaii. I went camping. She came back bitchin and complaining about her trip. Now it's Wed. and she is so upset about every little thing I do. She even left our room and slept in another room with our crying baby. This morning she didn't say good morning or anything and she left me at the train station. Is there a website where I can talk to bunch of fellas with similar problems that I have.

My wife tends to do the same thing. When she works, she calls 10 or 15 times a day to see what I am doing and how I should do certain things. After 15 years of marriage, I try to laugh it off and realize that she feels the need to micromanage all aspects of her life (of which I guess I am part of.)

I meant time away from the everyday stresses, spent with each other. Why did she go to Hawaii without you? Surely if you went camping you could have gone with her. Try the regular Menshealth site and the forums over there. I think I recognize your screen name from the past. Good luck.

Are things any better at home?

There is no one posting on this board. Where is everyone.

Hi there!!! I know, I should not posting comments here because this is a forum for men only... But, I was just wanted to know what men usually do and think... I'm Aino, 22 years old from Burlington...

I happen to see your story and I wanted to help you and your wife. I'm still single, but I just want to share something... Regarding your problem try to talk with your wife, settle your differences and talk over everything that you don't and she don't want inside your home... I mean, you've been together for 17 years and thats a record. Don't waste that 17 years for nothing, talk with each other and make necessary actions toward it.

There are no rules about only women, some of the best comments come from women, but if this board becomes more women than men, we'll probably complain that it is nothing but a henhouse.

It's a phenomenom with boards, women like to post on men's boards, but very few men like to go to women's boards.
