OK. Came across as standard misogyny. This whole thread and Classics from the Mrs is just chock full of apparently dysfunctional relationships. I c an't imagine why most posters are still married/cohabiting.
Probably because most people have commitments to children, to mortgages, to the idea of marriage. If you think it’s easy to walk away from something like that then I can only presume you are not in the same level of relationship and are therefore not in a position to judge.https://agreatread.co.uk/great-sex-starts-at-50-ho...
Speaking of separation my mates just ordered this for his wife.
fair to say the hint hasn't gone well.
menopausal women etc

k all about me so you've just shown the classic error of assumption) I DON'T have the kind of ridiculously petty, immature conversations or endure the situations that many men in this thread appear to. Mrs P and I talk about things. Sure, sometimes we argue, but we don't do the stupid stuff which is described here, or put up with it from each other. Not sure why you'd suddenly leap to such a binary conclusion, either. Why is walking away the only option? I said I wondered why they're still doing it. I should have qualified it. I wonder why they're still doing it the way they describe. Because it sounds like a horrible way to live. I don't live that way, nor would I contemplate it. If I felt like my marriage was going that way, I'd make sure we talked it through and nipped it in the bud.
The reason I assumed you meant walk away is because you said cohabiting. Surely the opposite of cohabiting is not to live together?

She drove into my car when she pulled off the drive, scratching her near side against my off-side front bumper corner.. It was my fault because of where I parked my car. On the drive - albeit in 'her space'.
I told her she is responsible for her spatial awareness shortcomings.
Mine scalded her had whilst filling up a hot water bottle. It was my fault because the house is cold ... apparently. I told her she is responsible for her spatial awareness shortcomings.

Every problem can be resolved.
Yes but murder is illegal 
As my friend once said. Women, strange creatures. You can't live with them.
You can't kill them. Legally.
He also said. What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger....
Apart from Polio....
And Marriage.....
I had a new car delivered to the house, she asked to be the first to drive it.
We went shopping and parked in an underground car park, there was a metal handrail in front of the parking bay, she went in far too quickly, I grabbed the handbrake. We slid to a halt.
So much abuse to me when we were still in the car about how she had everything under control. We got out to see how close the car was to the handrail. You couldn't slide a piece of paper between the two.

I changed the battery in the kitchen scales that's been flashing a low battery warning light for ages, but apparently it worked fine when she last used it 
Another scales one but the bathroom scales. My good lady has been doing live online Zumba and Booty fit for months now. Thus she is constantly weighing herself on the bathroom scales and is writing it down. Myself and my young boys have had a running prank for the past fortnight whereupon we adjust the starting point of the scales a few pound south or north of 0 on a daily basis (10 and 8 year old boys are epic co-conspirators!). I knew she wouldn't spot it and she hasn't.......until yesterday. My eldest had the start weight a little too far north of 0 and it appeared that after 3 sessions a week my good lady had put on 9lbs!!She went berserk with us all! Obviously I received the brunt! My boys were wetting themselves (whilst locked in the downstairs loo!).
She didn't speak to any of us at all last night apart from accusing me of encouraging the boys to make fun of her.
I'm hoping the frost will have thawed by the time I get home. A bottle of Opihr may help.
I work from home at the moment. I finish at 5:30. She knows this.
My Wife decides this means that I'm available any time of the day for any reason at her whim.
For example she got annoyed at me yesterday because she announced we needed to leave to go for dinner at our friends house at 4PM.
"Because she didn't want to get back late, because she had work the next day".
Okay, we'll leave at 5Pm earliest, but otherwise, we'll just have to not stay for long, I say. I can't leave any earlier because I have work to do.
Apparently that's not fair.
I sometimes wish I could rent an office somewhere else and just go there, maybe if I'm not about all day at all she will realise !!!

In fairness to her, she's usually amazingly quick to find something that sounds half-plausible on first impression.
Much faster than I would be at the same task, encumbered as I am by shame and a fundamental honesty and decency.
Mine's annoyed at me because I asked why are her parents always sending round fruit over when we have loads of it in the house (there's 2 of us). We buy enough fruit as part of the weekly shop so there's no need to send any more over - I've told them this.
So we have fruit going moldy and being thrown in the bin - what a waste of food (and money) - but I'm in the wrong?
So I'm banned from the forbidden fruit for now (if you catch my drift..)

Mines annoyed because instead of taking £1250 out of the household savings to refresh my old bike I took £2500 out and bought a bike thats the same as my old but with totaly mint bodywork/plastics, All the trick bits i wanted but also OHLINS front and rear, Sold my old bike the same day and thus only took a total of £750 out of household savings.

Why does it have to be anyone's fault, why can't it just be an accident. Sounds a little vindictive to try to blame someone who did nothing wrong. I told her she is responsible for her spatial awareness shortcomings.

It's the other way round with my OH; she is working from home and I'm not.
So if I come home from working looking like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards, she has to make a pantomime of looking VERY BUSY until it's time for her to finish.
This, this very evening! So if I come home from working looking like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards, she has to make a pantomime of looking VERY BUSY until it's time for her to finish.
We had a British Gas chap round to service the boiler. He asked if he could use our downstairs loo (for a number 1!) And I said he could.
My OH went mental even though he was wearing a mask and gloves.
Her tirade went on for an hour or so, well until she'd disinfected the entire house.

Covid vs mental health. My OH went mental even though he was wearing a mask and gloves.

Look after her. She's probably on the edge.
