My wife is killing me. I work 60 hours a week and give 100% of my income to her (around 6k per month). The only money I can have for my self is gas money and money I can buy her gifts with. This is strictly micro managed and if I’m caught spending on anything else I’ll be screamed at for hours. When I get home from work I have jobs that must be completed or I will be screamed at. First dinner must be cooked, all dishes must be cleaned, and nothing can be left on the tables or in the sink. Next we watch 2 hours of her television programs. At this point I’m exhausted from hard manual labor all day long and am falling asleep on the couch. I will be screamed at for this. Her screams are high pitched and almost seem to penetrate my very being, hard to explain but it is horrible. After this I must shower. She sets out shampoo and conditioner portions for me and chooses a soap. It is usually in a pink bottle. Next is movie in bed. She will choose a movie and I will be made to tickle her back during the entirety of the movie. If I fall asleep or stop tickling I will be screamed at. Sometimes I pretend I need to use the bathroom so I can have a moment to myself. I am doing that right now to write this thread. This will be interrupted shortly by pounding on the bathroom door and a demand on how Much longer will I be in here. Back in the bedroom I will have my daily complaints about me. This ranges from me not giving her enough money, me not having enough stylish clothes or me not paying her any attention. If I try to say something like “honey I pay every bill, I pay for all the food and give you 600$ per week I’m sorry I don’t have any more then I will not get any sleep that night. The last time I said this I had a knife thrown at me. All I do is say yes honey I’m sorry I’ll do better. She then will continue to complain and tell me she is sick of hearing sorry. I then wake up at 6am after 4 hours of sleep if lucky. I’m only aloud to sleep once she is asleep. The morning she will make demands from the bedroom as I get ready. A coffee needs to be brewed and put in the freezer for her so that when she wakes up (around 11am) she has a cold coffee. I usually have 2 or three other morning chores such as vacuuming of cleaning bathroom. If this isn’t done screaming will be done and I’m late for work. If she needs any email or phone correspondence I will have to do that too. Many times I’ve been late for work as I’ve had to take calls for her regarding insurance companies or cell phone providers etc. I then go to work and I am expected to answer my phone at all costs and at all times. If not it is considered ignoring her and she will non stop blow up my phone and will not let me sleep that night.

It was my birthday 2 weeks ago and I told her all I wanted was a day to relax. No presents just a day with no alarm clock, no work and no chores. She agreed but then when my bday arrived she demanded I do her laundry, run the dishwasher. I snapped at this point and told her I was done. She blocked the front door and started cutting her wrists. Blood was everywhere and I spend the rest of my day cleaning her wounds. I don’t know what to do. I look like shit and have no energy. Every day is like a fog with a constant shrieking nag in the back of my head. Please help.
