Perhaps you may get more responses if you explain the ways he "is" stubborn Seeyalater.

He's mad at me and has been for almost two months. He said that I when we got married I was supposed to do all the wife duties. Originally, I would cook 3-4 times a week and he would do the same. He kicked me out of the house stating that since I didnt do those things seven days a week that have crushed him to pieces making him feel worthless. I have been back in the house for about a month but he is still holding a grudge against me for not doing the items he said I should be doing.
He is very stubborn and I think I have tried everything to get him to open up some. He said he still is so angry about me ruining the marriage. He is just so stubborn I dont know what else to do. |

Wow, he is so demanding. Hmm, makes me think of that saying, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach", guess that is really important to your husband.
It was a big deal to my father too, my mother "hated" cooking and planning the meals, my father was always critical too so it was never rewarding for her. My mom developed dementia and never cooks anymore, I think that is most favorite thing of all, NO MORE COOKING. Some cultures make it a big deal, don't know where you are or what culture you are part of. |

He was never like that. Just threw it in my face in February. After I was kicked out of the house. He said I should of know that I was suppose to automatically cook everyday. Now he says this is all your fault why the marrige is failing. Hes being so stubborn that I can't get through to him.

Get with the times people. Where in the world does it say that the woman has to do all the cooking. Men, get off your lazy *sses, get with the program of today's world and be an equal partner in the relationship. That means he should be doing half the cooking, cleaning, laundry, yard work, etc. Unless you went into the marriage with an agreement of you doing "Wife" duties, marriage is a partnership and such, should be treated as one. There is no such thing as "wife" duties anymore. That is the most sexist, ignorant thing I've heard lately. Get yourself a real man that puts your needs before his own, joins you in marriage as an equal partner and loves you with all his heart. You deserve to have an equal partner, not a demoralizing person (can't call him a man-not acting like one) in your life.
Good luck! |

He was never like this before. That's why I'm shocked. Before we got married he did do some of the cooking. We've benmarried almoste two year bee together six. In February is when he kicked me out of the house. In March is when he told me that I didn't put hot meals on the table seven days a week so I made him feel worthless, that's I used him, because he made the money and I only worked part time. I am working on my master which is full time as well. I do the laundry, keep the house clean, and help its the yard work. |

My question is how do I get him to release his anger? He is so stubborn and thinks his reasons are right.

Seems to me you have a full time job with your master's alone, then working part time. Just because you aren't the bread winner doesn't mean you have the responsibility of the house chores. Remember marriage is a partnership.
Not sure what to tell you about getting him to release his anger and quit being so stubborn. Maybe there's something more bothering him and he's choosen to take it out on you by demoralizing you. If he wasn't that way before, then something has happened to make him step in that direction. Maybe counseling for himself and for both of you is a way to go. I personally wouldn't stand for it. |

Since last June I've been holding two part time jobs and my masters. Including the dinners and the household items.
Its now his stubbornness. That's what I need to know how to deal with. |

I think some form of counseling would be good for both of you. It gives you both a 3rd party to talk to, a mediator to get you all talking and get to the root of the problem.
If counseling is out of the question, google how to deal with stubborn people, it gives you some ideas. Not sure what will or won't work, but it may be worth a try. It's confusing that he all of a sudden decided to treat you this way. Has he experienced something traumatic in the last few months? Maybe a death of a loved one, gotten demoted at work or lost his job. Something happen out of his control that upset him. Sounds to me like he is trying to gain control of something and you happen to be the easiest target. |

I believe its the job that has caused most of this. He has said it but then says its all me because of the dinners. I have tried to get him to go to a therapist along with myself. He refuses and says hes not crazy. Yet he has told me that he has a lot of mental issues going ion in his head. I love my husband and the stubbornness is killing the relationship. I'm trying to hang on but I really need to know how to work with his STUBBORNNESS!!!!! |

I think there is way more than you not cooking diners, the fact that he purchased a house on his name only and made you sign your rights off tells me he has no plans to stay in this marriage forever. And kicking you out of the house? That's no good. I don't think he is stubborn he knows what's he doing

Seeyalater, I began reading this thread and felt like you had the same story as another member. Well, I just checked and noticed you are the same person. Why do you have two threads going about the same problem?

Yes. The change is his employment, commuting, and he works for his step dad. I'm so glad I wasn't the bad one that ruined his life. At first it hurt me bad to hear him say horrible things to me. He hasn't been as bad now but if he starts I ignore him and he stops. Yes I to think the same. He is so unhappy with work that he's finding any little thing to bash h me for. That is so sad that people can not see their actions. He refuses therapy because he claims nothing is wrong with him. Because it's ALL ME!!
