Is my wife within her rights?
|
My wife informed me, three months ago, that if I wish to sleep with her, I must earn it. I work at my office for, on average, forty five hours a week, but that isn't included - I must also perform 25 hours of chores per week in the household in addition to my job, otherwise all marital activities are suspended. Thing is, I'm so tired now that I can hardly summon the effort to do it! Is this regime something other couples practise?

Sugar if she is holding a job and raising children she has to have help! It's not her lot in life to pull the entire train at home on top of her daily schedule. |

Tell her that you are witholding the money you earn unless you get certain marital benefits. |

Do the work, do the chores, tell her you are too tired to even look at her, then go out with your mates. You can live awhile without it. Maybe then she'll get the picture. |

No, she's your wife, not you're mother giving you pocket money. You should help out around the house of course, but not that much and not chores at all, just the things that need doing with her. This is not acceptable and tell her this. You don't have a wife this way, you have a dictator |

She is within her rights.
But then, you are within your rights to withhold money from her or for that matter telling her to take a hike. |

I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT! No matter how big your house is or how much you work, i would think she would want to be with you for the simple fact that she loves you. I dont know the situation or if you have done something to make her feel this way or if she feels neglected or unappreciated. does she work? if not that is just selfish on her part, dont get me wrong staying at home is a huge job, im a stay at home mom with 2 babies and itsa crazy full time job, but if she is i dont understand why she would be like that, if she works too and you expect her to do everything at home, i kind of understand, but that wouldnt mean sleeping together in my opinion. I dunno your situation but thats all i can think of. |

No, we do not have that sort of agreement in our marriage. Doesn't sound very loving to me... |

Does she work and does she do all the chores in the house?
If the answer is yes, then she is within her rights.
Personally, I wouldn't get away with that with my boyfriend. We both work full time. We share chores.
Chores should be shared. |

If your wife is working and putting in that much work then you should as well but if not then housework should be like her "job" in my opinion but you should still help out some around the home but to actually measure it is a little ridiculous but maybe you should talk to your wife about your feelings instead of getting on yahoo answers |

She's probably just worn out from having to do it all the time. It sounds like she need a break. You should try to get her to compromise a little though, that seems rough. |

what exactly does your wife do in the day if she doesn t work tell her if she wants ur money she has to earn it by doing the chores in the house u shouldn t have to come home and do all that she sounds very selfish and probably does it cos u let her put ur foot down m8 good luck |

Maybe she feels you spend too much time working and she feels neglected, perhaps, so the comment 'that you must earn it' is a reflection of that and what she really means is she needs some of your time and attention. |

Oh you poor thing!xx
What did you do to annoy her so much?
Well, I suppose that all she wanted was to see you do your fair share around the house.
Come on, of course she doesn't want a hubby fainting at the wrong time.
Tut tut tut, take back some control here, or you'll both lose interest.xxx |

Are you a man or a child? Sounds like she is treating you like a child.
You shouldnt have to out in any specified amount of hours house cleaning. That sounds ridicilous.
No, I dont think that is part of a normal couples regime. |
