She caught me in bed with someone else.
In her dream.
And she's annoyed (a) about that (b) that I won't apologise in real life for something that happened in her crazy brain.
Oh I had that a while back, she was in a right hump with me because I had cheated on her with her best mate in her dream. In her dream.

I probably didn't help by saying "ah ffs all this grief and only you got to see her naked"
2 full days she was hung up over that.

I don’t wholeheartedly join the cult she has ended up in. She sincerely believes the leader is an avatar of Jesus and Vishnu. We’ve been married 20 years, I’ve been asked a few times now to move out. Something tells me we are unlikely to make it to our silver wedding anniversary 
WTF!?

Why not keep all those romantic promises you made and make her dreams come true? I probably didn't help by saying "ah ffs all this grief and only you got to see her naked"

My wife left the back door unlocked, and her keys in the door.
Apparently it was entirely my fault and I should take our security more seriously.
Mine was annoyed with me because I locked the door on the way out, and she had to unlock it when she needed to go back in for something she forgot.Apparently it was entirely my fault and I should take our security more seriously.
Because I unplugged the jumble of electrical cables connected to switched-on items (hair straighteners, toothbrush chargers etc) and moved the three water bottles without lids that were perched precariously on a shelf above the live 4-way extension.
It seems that only I remember one of our electric toothbrushes going up in flames and our then 8 year old daughter alerting us to it, or our pals' house fire caused by a faulty hair straightener left plugged in......

Putting the wrong butter in the butter dish, contrary to a system previously unknown to anyone else, apparently.
"That's the wrong butter!"
"
Lurpak, slightly salted? That's it isn't it?"
"Yes but that's my baking butter."
" So your baking butter is Lurpak slightly salted, like goes on sandwiches and toast?"
"Yes, but it's on the right hand end of the fridge butter shelf."
"Even more Isn't it all the same stuff bought last Tesco delivery, same use by date and everything?"
"Yes but spreading butter left hand end. Baking butter right hand end."
"OK" Gives up and takes dog for walk.

It was my fault that she left the car unlocked with the keys on the passenger seat because I've 'got one of those fancy cars that you don't need to put the keys in to start it'.Apparently it was entirely my fault and I should take our security more seriously.
Today it's for ordering a book from Amazon.
Previous conversation relating to early purchase of a Christmas gift follows.
Me "On Amazon now, this is the book you were asking about isn't it?"
Her: "Yes that's it, get that."
M: "That's the audio version, there's also Kindle, Hardback and Paperback versions, see there" Places cursor on various options.
H: :" Oh has to be printed book, get paperback, no thinking about it, hardback, yes, get that"
Couple days later parcel arrives with various car related bits and bobs, H7 uprated light bulbs etc, a roll of brown wrapping paper she's asked for parcel wrapping up duties and sticking around fruit cake tins during the bake, and the book.
H:" What's that ordered for?"
M: " You said and I quote, "Get that!" Sunday afternoon, 4pm ish"
H: now doing a good impression of Jim Trott from Vicar of Dibley, " No, no, no, no , no , no ... yes, but..."
Me to dog "Walkies!"

My wife has had a 'routine' for some time (years) now for when she asks me a question, any question, which goes like this;
Example question;
H, "What are you doing with that?"
Me, "Taking it to the tool shed".
H "OK, OK I only asked".
Me - ?
Every time I answer a question she responds with this defensive response.
Doesn't matter how gently I answer her question.
I've found ignoring and walking out of the room to be the best way to keep the peace.

I've noticed that if I don't do something (anything) that she expects me to have done, it's pointed out.
In the same way if she does anything at all in the house that I could have done (if I wasn't hiding in my office working from home with my important looking computer screens,) I am expected to praise her or thank her for doing it.
She wouldn't praise me for doing it, and I wouldn't dare to have a go for anything I think she could have done.
At the same time, she will have a go at me because in her eyes if I'm not in here for 38 hours a week, then I'm not fulfilling my work commitments.
All 4 pages so far. My wife does most of them.
Blaming me for having an affair in her dream.
Blaming me, for her snapping the key in the door.
Last night, she said, I'm sorry I'm pushing you away alot. I know you are trying to be nice and you've been lovely to my mum.
I said. Well your dad's just died, it's got you hard.
She said. Well it might be nice if you were a bit more supportive.
