It would seem on the surface that I am a complete asshole... especially to those closest to me.

Let me tell what has transpired the last few weeks.

My dad asks if we have a college fund for my daughter set up. No. Can't afford the electricity or food, no, no fund.

He wants to set one up, and fund it. Says it will pay 2/3 of it! WHoooooo HAAAaaa! So he sends this email asking some really basic questions.

-do we want this or is he overstepping.
-will son ever go to college.
-do we still have stocks for the kids that my parents bought.

Really the crux of it... ya know? Then this past weekend my dad asks for us to respond independently. I tell wife.

We are busy... so it had not been done but was weighing on me. So, I did it last night after everyone fell asleep. Took me an hour or more. I take son to bed, wake up wife and tell her it's time to go to bed.

Once in bed- 5 minutes later, she's wide awake and pissed. "I am just going to start going to bed by myself". I'm like ok... I was just responding to my dad... and that set her off. I had not talked to her more about it. She did not remember that we were supposed to respond separately...

Mind you, I actually asked for us to be treated as equals in the email. I was SO fucking respectful of her and her feelings!

So she goes downstairs, but as she hits the stairs I say, "So why are you married to me?". She answers "sometimes I don't know." I say "then maybe you ought to live somewhere else and figure that one out."

I am sick of so many people being so damn disrespectful. I really and truly just can't take it.

Work, Home... why don't I feel like I belong anywhere again...
