Me (35M) with my wife (33/F), being married to her is affecting my career and my life. I am numb to all this.

TL;DR: My wife has done multiple things that have caused my work life to be far more difficult than it should be.


I've been married close to 8 years to my wife and have a 3 year old daughter.

This morning, when leaving for work, she got mad at me for because she wanted to discuss getting a new puppy for me. I had to leave for work and told her I couldn't talk right now and had to get out of the door.

My wife has a hair trigger when she gets upset. This has lead to arrests, multiple stays in psych wards, and a complete alienation from her family. This started about 1.5 years ago. While she is getting help for her anger, it's not sticking with her.

Today, she just tossed hot coffee all over me. It was surprising, but I guess not unexpected. Burned me pretty good. This caused me to be late for work because of her outburst as I had to change clothes. This is the 3rd time in 4 months she has done something to cause friction at work. Today was the first time in my career I've been written up and I got chewed out by my boss for being late to an important morning meeting.

I don't know why I'm even writing this. I'm not going to do anything about it. I have no more backbone to stand up to her. My wife is well taken care of and clearly doesn't care about her actions having consequences. I'll just keep taking her back because my daughter loves her. I guess I just need to write all this down so I can advance my day forward.

Cautionary tale y'all. Red flags were evident before we got married. Those red flags are now serious situations with a kid involved. To anyone who is in their 20s and reading this....if you are seeing major red flags in your partner (everyone is to blame for their problems, anger over little things, physical abuse etc.), please don't ignore them like I did.

Male or female, it doesn't matter. I know you think you'll be able to fix them when you are in your 20's, but it's probably going to get a lot worse.
