This guy gets it.

I won't suggest pulling the handle. Yet, push back calmly but firmly and challenge the thought process, and don't capitulate, or accept that you enable the behavior.

Either you'll learn something of the dynamic you share or you'll learn something about yourself. It's as simple as that.

Oh shit.  I forgot about Virginia Slims.  Back when they made special cigarettes for whores and trailer park women.

*Except for your mom of course.  She probably picked up the habit at boarding school in Switzerland.

My last GF was the same way. She'd bitch about the bathtub being dirty. I cleaned it the first few times, and usually always cleaned up around the house. The next time, she gave it a shot. She stopped halfway and said "I can't do it as well as you do", so I said, grab the brush and the Comet and I'll show you. Same deal, she gets down and scrubs, and says "See, it's not working". She was also horrible at cleaning bathrooms and the kitchen.

I said "Cool, if you don't want to do that, we'll split the $150/mo for a cleaning lady". Bitch eyes & tone come out "I'm not paying for that".

I should have said "Well then keep scrubbing bitch".

I never ask my wife to do anything. She asks me to do shit all the time, often with complicate instructions or very specific details. Things that she really should do. I, of course, always mess up and then she gets mad at me. It is a test, and i constantly fail, which is clearly proof i dont listen to her or care about her

I started making her do whatever she was asking me to do. Since then she has reduced the amount of things she asks me to do, but still sometimes she asks me to do something while she sits on ass watching tv. I tell her to get off her ass and do it herself since she is so particular. Sometimes though, she sneaks one in and i end up doing something she tells me to do because there is a plausible chance of her asking me because it really is logistically easier. For example, picking up her exact brand, flavor, and specific can size sparkling water bullshit on my way home from work.

Like today. I did all the yard work, cleaned kitchen, vaccuumed, and bought groceries. I had time in between to do my shit. I finished up a pocket knife i was making, i welded a metal frame together for a new heat treating oven, and i processed a dozen sets of bone for knife handles. Pretty god damn productive day. She went to a fair with her nephew, then came home and sat on ass, then bitched at me because i got god damn orange sparkling water instead of tangerine.

My friend's sister bawled out her husband because she told him to buy a specific food product.  Why that specific product?  Because it is good (I concur with her taste).  He goes to the store, finds something cheaper and buys that instead.  He's very proud about saving money and goes home to shows it to her. She gave him an azzchewing and sent him like a whipped dog back to the store to return what he bought and to buy the right item this time.

By "workout buddy", I mean "guy she's fucking".  Happened to me once, I won't go into the long dirty details.  And a serial cheater chick I used to fuck when she was in-between boyfriends confirms that when she found a new guy to hang out with or fuck, she'd get short and shitty with her current BF.

Any real man knows a relationship isn't about keeping score. I have no problem cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and grocery shopping.... The way I see it is my warden never asked or expected me to change a diaper when my kids were young, I never was expected to get up in the middle of night to feed the kids. Her job was tending to the kids and my was providing for the family.
If I didn't have kids I'd still participate in the day to day running of the house, my kids are grown and gone know and still do my far share and then some.
BTW the last thing you want the warden to do is hold you hostage by relying on her to do everything.

You need to sit her down and explain all of this to her.

THEN start telling her no.

If you just start telling her no out of the blue she's going to get shitty on you and think you're just being an asshole.  If you tell her no with the points you made during your talk backing you up she might get pissed off but deep down she will understand.

If that doesn't work then you have a serious problem on your hands.

Sometimes I'm a prick to my wife.  I dont do it on purpose, just the stuff I say comes out wrong.  I almost always apologize.  Sometimes she asks me to do things that clearly don't need done.  Sometimes I do them anyway, sometimes not.

i do catch her making up stuff for the kids to do, fabricated so they can be "doing something".  It pisses them off, and rightly so I think, but I try to always take her side in kid arguments as moral support.  Later I tell her if I found it over the line.  I told her I thought it better if she made a list of expectations for them and went over it with them - a chores list so to speak.  Then it's clearly communicated as an expectation and we stick to it.

i guess what I'm trying to say is this:  marriage ain't all bunnies and butterflies.  I don't know if what OP is bitching about is a couple of one-off incidents, or these "shit tests" that others referenced.  Does the wife even recognize what she's doing?  OP referenced her as a "rich girl" earlier.  Maybe she really has no idea?

if OP has talked to her about this purse swinging and it still continues, then it's an entirely different situation.

We have had two of these discussions. But i havent tied in my turning her down to the discussions. Also whenever she starts in with the ridiculous complaining, such as today's orange vs tangerine water, i usually ignore it and dont engage. I should probably interrupt her and tell her that is what i am talking about. I need to make that connection. Thank you, this is an excellent point.
