The story could be fake, but I'm inclined to believe it's true but with bias as no one can really articulate someone else's motivations, especially when frustrated by their behavior.

HOWEVER, I prefer to think of it along the lines of "does this conversation have any benefit?" It seems at least a couple of other members feel their marriages bear a resemblance to the OP's and so I do believe the conversation and advice given is worthwhile. I wish OP would have settled for one layer of anonymity (random screen name) rather than putting this thread here where it's so hard to even guess at who's saying what.

Are you married? Women can be very contradictory. They can be very irrational. They are not logical like men. They don't stick to one plan. Their decisions and choices change like the wind. Add ocd into the mix and you get the picture.

I could be mistaken, but I don’t think anyone is doubting this kind of thing isn’t happening with husbands and wives. It’s pretty common for women to threaten to leave, call the cops, take the kids, do all sorts of caniving manipulative things, etc.

What is being brought into question is whether the person posting it is making it up to troll the forum. There’s been several things he’s said that make me think that. Just one example, he said he’s not going to leave her, like that wasn’t an option at all. Then a few pages later he’s asking if he should cal it quits. Also he starts off the thread about his wife thawing out meat on the floor which is…. Interesting. But then it turned into all the problems about his wife.

I don’t think it’s wrong to question it, especially since it’s anonymous. Nobody likes being taken for a fool. Even if it is a made up situation, like Mater, I agree it’s a good discussion topic because many men do go through it.

If it is real, I do feel for the OP. Her behaviors go beyond post partum blues.

It’s pretty common for women to threaten to leave, call the cops, take the kids, do all sorts of caniving manipulative things, etc.

She is. She acts like a child. I get up at night every few hours to take care of the baby. She gets her sleep. Then when she gets up earlier in the morning she eats and drinks in bed right next to me while I'm trying to sleep for another few hours. I ask her politely to eat in the other room and then she argues with me why she should be able to do that.
