A Redditor, “Edmonkayakguy,” had shared a matter about his marriage with his 38-year-old wife, who is a stay at home mother, in Reddit’s “Relationship Advice” subreddit, on August 3, 2023.
The 38-year-old man stated that he is working more than forty hours a week at a salary job, and he also stated that he is encouraging his wife to take breaks when she feels off, from her duties with “laundry and etc.”
The man also stated that he is active in the house with helping his wife with their children and house chores. When he would take vacation, “it’s scheduled 30+ days in advance,” the Redditor stated. “Most of the time it’s a stay-cation (relax at home). She is well aware of the dates.”
The husband stated that whenever he would take vacation, his wife is “either sick or not feeling well (ie sore back).” After his wife says that she doesn’t feel well, then OP’s plans fell to the ground.
“My plans get canceled, like sleeping in or a morning fishing trip. She feels bad for feeling bad, usually cries, and spends the whole time in bed.”
“This round I get 2 days off and suddenly her back hurts bad enough she can barely walk. She claimed that she cleaned all day, but the kids said she basically just played a computer game.”
The OP shared his plan, he stated that he will divide his vacation into two, “The first half hers, the second mine.” OP didn’t blamed or accused his wife with anything. “It’s very possible that she is not intentionally being sick, but her body knows she can finally slow down and rest.”
Also, OP stated that they will go to marriage counseling. “I’m going to schedule couples counseling and have an open conversation about it. I’ll go even if she does not. This was suggested by a counselor.”
OP stated that he is aware that being a stay at home mother is not an easy job, and that he is giving his wife away time from her daily chores. “The point of this post was to find out why she is sick when I take time off from work. I have the answer, she is exhausted and her body gives in because I’m here.”
“I love her. I have and will continue to take care of her, the kids, house, and etc. even if she always gets sick when I take time off from work.” the husband had concluded his story.
What do you think? Let us know.
The author’s knack for making complex concepts accessible is impressive.
When wife gets sick every time he has vacation knowing when it will be is too coincidental.Sure I’m sure she’s tired too however she has to realize this is his vacation.He will help her some but let him have some rest .It has to be beneficial for both.
