Reading everything here makes me REALLYYYYYY appreciate my wife so much more. I can't complain. My wife used to work and ended up closing her company and being a stay at home wife/mom. When I worked construction and come home, food was on the table waiting for me nice and warm, dishes were cleaned, laundry was done, house would be as clean as possible (hard to keep clean with 2 kids). Once I was done eating, I'd jump on my game for a bit and she never had an issue. She knows playing my game is my stress relief. Always had my clothes ready for work or sleep. Very supportive. Always backed my ideas when I ran it by her.
We hardly ever argue. When we do, they last less than a day (usually a few hours) and we're back to normal. Arguments weren't bad neither. We'd just spend time in separate rooms cooling off then apologize to each other and talk it out.
I stayed at home all year (got into day trading) so that we can focus on our autistic daughter and get her under control (extremely little sleep, tantrums, hitting, ect). My wife was about to go crazy. We worked together and got our daughter under control. Now that I've been home, she (my wife) still does the same thing. She still cooks, cleans, does laundry, ect. I of course help her, but not once has she really slacked off. Hell, even when she had surgery and needed to rest for a couple weeks, she still got up within a couple days and still did what she does best.
We've been together for almost 15 years (this year) and married just about 9 years (this year).
So again.... I'm truly lucky to have my wife as my wife, and I do appreciate her.
