First, Have a great Saturday PIF!!!! EnJoy!!!!
Just need to express my own 2 cents Clay. Gotta love you buttttttttt
IMHO, wives and husbands are supposed to be
Partners and not team mates. By your own words, she manages the household and your children. Considering your sons are so very young, it sounds like she's doing a great job coping. When many women have babies and very young children they go a bit brain dead because they are supposed to focus on the children to make sure that the children survive. It is a
throwback to our animal nature/instincts. I was a professional and a voracious reader for much of my adult life until I gave birth first to my older son and then my younger. I couldn't concentrate too distinctly on anything except for their well being. When my youngest was about 3 I started to recover and my ex, I will say that again, my ex, had already did damage to our relationship with his lack of understanding and his lack of respect for me (prior to kids I had a great job with lots of responsibility). I rebelled, went out and fell madly in love with someone else.
Treating your wife like a child/student might cause a rebellion on her part too. That might be the root of her passive/aggressive behavior. IMHO, it is disrespectful for a husband to be that condescending to his wife. Once the kids are both in school, and she has a little more "me time"..like being able to take a shower in peace, she might want to take on more responsibilities.
Focus on what you appreciate about her, be kind to her and loving and respectful. Good things should follow.
BTW...I realize in chit chat we discuss many things, but is it me, or is it lately that I am seeing men complaining about their spouses? Being a feminist, When I read these complaints, I wish I can hear the wife's side of the story too. Too bad I can't.
