Wife is on strike what can I do
For close to month now my wife has been on strike with the house. We have four children age 8 months 3, 8 & 11 . My brother in law is also curently staying with us. My wife will not clean, cook, wash dishes, or fold clothes. She just recently washed some the other day. I guess she did not have anything to wear. She pilled them all in the baby crib where they have been for several days. The house is awful , so much stuff in the living room you cannot walk. She spends countless hours on the internet playing games when she should be cleaning. I work a regular job and also a small side business . I am gone from the house 45-60 hours a week so I can't do a lot of the stuff. My brother in law also works and helps when he can. I know we need counsiling but cannot afford it right now. I am a braking point what can I do. She bad mouths me to friends and family on the phone. Now don't get me wrong I put my two cents in the arguments too, I am not going to sit around and let this woman run over me, I have more respect for myself. I don't want divorce but that may be my only option.
