How should I handle a wife that's not pulling her weight?

try and talk with her about it cause yea u sound pretty thin if that don't work put your foot up her *** about knee deep

Ha. I don't think you making more money has anything to do with anything...women generally make less than men. Bad system, but that's the way it is.

Sounds like YOU'RE actually the wife, lol!

I think you all need to sit down and have a talk about priorities. When you get married, your number one priority is your family.

Also, is your wife going to school? Since you are, and she isn't, then she needs to be putting forth more effort with shuttling your son to and fro the therapist's office. She needs to be an active participate in house work...it's not fun but has to be done.

Part of the duties of a wife are encouraging her husband and working with him for the better good of the family...making sacrifices (maybe losing a little sleep, giving up a little mall time).

I think if you point these things out to her, she will concede and be more helping. She may not realize she's not pulling her weight. She married you because she loves you, and when you love somebody, you help them out.

Maybe she needs a sebatical. I mean she was great before and raising a child who needs therapy 3 x a week is a lot of work. Or perhaps she's just fed up with your lack of chipping in before and is on strike. I will say that she probably considers you driving 140 miles a week to be with your grandpa on a line with her spending time with her friends.

well 1st it depends on how long you've been allowing this to happen cuz if its been goin on a while u cant all of a sudden say somethin about it and expect it to go ur way. you do need to be honest and strait forward with her tho' close mouth dont get fed. if nothing happens after u talk with her then it may be a serious problem it being u guys are married, if ur being honest and fair about things and she continues with this behavior then u need to make some decisions and decide if ur so positive about is she the one who u want to spend the rest of ur life with

You need to let her know, she needs to start pulling her share of the responsibilities. You can do bad by yourself. You should have put a stop to all this madness when it first began. Good Luck in the Future!!!

Very sorry affair,wife is called a life partner, if she is not willing to share the burden of the family ,first talk with her .If she is not changing it is better to leave her and file for divorce

Tell her how you feel and that you need her help. Divide up the chores so that there is no question as to who is expected to do what on which days.

Remind her that marriage is a partnership. Confront her with your feelings, tell her what's up. I'd tell her she needs to straighten up and start doing more things to help you out.

Hi Jim,

tell her you are tired and fed up, threaten to leave the marriage.

sneak away and eat 5 pounds of cheese
