Dear husband,
I just have to tell you this again for the nth time. And since you have a selective memory and refuse to remember the "talks" or arguments we had about your annoying habits and attitudes in the past to learn from, I'd rather write them down - knowing that you will never get to read this anyway so I won't have to expect you to change or apologize - for the purpose of venting. There is nothing in this letter that I haven't told you about nor we haven't discussed. But since talking to you is a futile effort because of your stubbornness & selective memory, I'd rather vent my frustrations here just to get these issues off my chest.
We were only married for 3 years and having you for a husband was truly challenging. Yes, I have my own issues having raised by a bipolar mother but having you as my partner is not making things any better.
You are a responsible husband and father in the context of working an 8-5 job to provide for me and you son; coming home early because you miss your son.
I admire you for that. But I need you to see and understand that your duty does not end there. I gave in to the need for us to find another source of income therefore I set up a new business without you lifting a finger but with a nosy big mouth yakking me to do this and that without considering that I have started and ran 3-4 small companies before while having a lot on my plate as a wife and mother. My simple requests from you ARE to just be a little helpful around the house, avoid nagging me on trivial matters which you yourself cannot practice and/or inconsistent about, stop pissing me off by the little lies or pointing finger elsewhere esp to me just because you don't want to admit your OBVIOUS mistake. It really ruins my day 'coz I'd always tell myself how stupid and inconsiderate you are. If you know you made a mistake, shut up and apologize or make amends. DO NOT DARE TURN THE TABLES AROUND which you LOVE DOING and you know that I can and will always win the argument because you do not admit when you are wrong. And by that, you have pissed me further. Then we get into this never ending cycle of debating making our trivial issues a more serious matter.
I really don't know who to talk to, where to go & what to do to escape. My daily dose of your (ways, words) is really getting up to neck. I just want to vomit or pretend you do not exist.
Now I feel 30-40% better.
Your wife
