Today, I still have no idea why I got married. All my wife does is drink Coke and watch TV. Perhaps the silver lining is that she's not doing coke in powder form. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend asked why we weren't married yet. I guess I don't find her alcoholism, lack of income, constant insults, references to cheating, and general entitlement behaviour very wifey material. FML
Today, my wife can't be bothered to do anything that isn't work, talk about her work, and sit on the sofa. Then she complains that I don't show any affection, when she can be bothered to even talk to me. FML
Today, I got home and my wife asked me why I hadn’t taken the bin out or cleaned the living room. I asked her why she hadn’t done it since she got fired 6 months ago for laziness and since then has sat on her ass watching daytime TV instead of job searching. She threw a mug at my face. FML
Today, my new wife and I got home from our honeymoon, and not an hour later she'd sat me down for a talk, saying, "Now that you're married you've got to act the part and give up this silly nonsense," then banned me from seeing my friends, playing video games, and basically everything else I ever enjoyed. FML
Today, I realized my wife often switches the TV channel from the crime dramas we both like, to Hollywood gossip shows that I can't stand, just to get me to leave the room. From the other room, I can see that she switches back once I've left. She's probably been doing this for years. FML
Today, my wife has a drinking problem. She's stopped drinking liquor but still drinks beer, and even though I work and make great money, we are always scraping by. I’m at the point of leaving but we have an almost three year-old and one year-old and I feel like I’m going to get screwed in divorce court. FML
Today, I mentioned to my wife that we should try marriage counseling. She responded by denying it while throwing a carton of milk at me. FML
Today, I realized my marriage makes me feel like I'm just passing time until death. FML
Today, my wife shouted at me for never doing anything for her, which is a brave claim to make while her unemployed ass sits in the house I pay for, enjoying the Netflix I pay for, and the car I pay for so she can drive to Starbucks and use my money to buy £8 coffees for six friends at once. FML
Today, I don't know what to do to be a good husband. In my wife's eyes, I can’t do anything right. I asked to have more quality time with her but she would rather play video games than spending time with me. I don’t know what to do. FML

I mean... what was she like before you tied the knot? The majority of people don't do a personality 180 the day after the wedding, so it's unlikely you didn't know she was like this beforehand. Also it's hard to tell from your post if she's completely lazy AF or just a homebody and you're the 'out and about' type.

No use wasting your one and only life attached to someone you have zero affection for. Just get a divorce. It might hurt your wallet initially (and maybe then some) but the freedom to live a better life with someone you ACTUALLY like far outweighs the greasy couch goblin weighing you down till your end days.

I'd say powdered coke would be better than what you're dealing with now

or, they could start with counseling.

You go to counseling when there is something left to save. He said he has no idea why he got married. So clearly this woman and being with her means nothing to him.

There isn't all that much to do during this pandemic. Sounds to me like she's doing her part towards it. You're expecting too much right now.

To be a Coke dealer?

Okay, that's funny.

Maybe ask her to find a hobby? She may be able to sell things she makes and bring in some money. That would give her a purpose, let her contribute to living costs and find an enjoyable work opportunity.

Okay, this is concerning. I would assume you married her because you loved her and wanted to share your life with her, but the tone of your post implies that you married her because you expected her to keep house for you. That’s a problem. Second of all, I have never met anyone who watched TV all day on a regular basis who wasn’t suffering from depression. So maybe stop being judgmental and help her seek treatment. YDI if you can’t see past your own expectations and recognize when a loved one needs help.
