Hi Reddit!
My wife has been telling me for multiple years to get a job that actually pays a living wage. My job pays me $100k/yr. I have 4 kids and we are late on paying bills almost every month.
Today, my daughter got a huge glass of milk and I had asked her not to drink milk since it’s expensive and we need it for the meals we have ingredients for. My wife got mad and told me that she can drink as much milk as she likes and that it’s ridiculous that I still work at the same place that cannot support a family of 4.
I yelled back. I told her the only problem we actually have is how much she spends on selfish garbage and she has no self-control and just buys whatever she wants and that it is HER that is not supporting this family and it is HER that doesn’t have a job. She says she will never respect me because I won’t do what needs to be done like a “real husband and father” would (aka quit my job and find one that makes what she considers a livable wage, $250k+)
I told her she’s out of her mind, that $100k is a lot of money and way more than most people will ever make. She told me to hire a CPA. When I said I can’t afford that she said “hmmmm” with snark followed by a “whatever dude”
Am I the a$$hole??
