Today, our kids left for the weekend so that my wife and I could have some much-needed alone time. We've been fighting a lot recently and really need some time to have fun together. Now it turns out that she doesn't want to be around me because of the fighting. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my wife screamed, cried, called me lazy and a bad parent, and threatened to leave and take our four kids. All I did was ask for an hour to myself every day for some private time. FML
Today, my wife, who I haven’t seen for over a month because we both travel a lot for work, got home. The last thing she said to me was that she couldn't wait to get home because she just wants some alone time. FML
Today, it was our first kid-free weekend in almost two months, and I was hoping for a nice date night. Instead, she picked up two shifts at work and then had a girls' night. Don't worry, she assigned me a massive deep clean that ate up almost my entire weekend. FML
Today, I've been on vacation with my friend and his family for a week. Apparently, his idea of a vacation includes constant screaming arguments with his wife, while their kids sob in the living room. I tried to take the kids out once and got a lecture on boundaries, which started another huge fight. FML
Today, my wife packed the kids up and left for Idaho. I found a letter saying that she misses her paranoid schizo dad and brother, and that she misses me when I'm at work, but can't stand me when I'm home. She is now 1700 miles away, and I'm here alone. FML
Today, my wife and I both spent a weekend away separately with our close friends. However, we ran into each other, unplanned, at the airport. She was with her girls and I was with my girlfriend. FML
Today, my wife and I had an argument serious enough to end our marriage, while overseas on vacation, with my whole family present. Three more days of awkward tension until we get to fly home and it all ends. FML
Today, after a long talk with the kids, I finally got all the chores around the house done early so we could have a fun family weekend. My wife decided to be a wet blanket and insisted we needed to deep clean the already clean kitchen. Three arguments later, everyone is sulking, and I'm working in the kitchen alone. FML
Today, I found out why my wife has been upset with me for the last week. She told me this morning that I did something to upset her on our date night last Friday, she won't tell me what, and she said she'll leave me if I do it again. FML
Today, my wife and mother of my kids said she doesn't want sex. Or a divorce. FML

I could see how if they've been at each other's throats, she might want some time away from him. It never says she wanted/asked kids to leave, so she might not be passive-aggressive. But you know, I was going to click FYL until I saw your name. And if you're willing to call your wife a "****" to tens or hundreds of thousands of people online, you sound like an asshole and maybe she's justified in not wanting to be around you.

I thought it was quite rude for OP to call his wife a ****.. Even tho they are fighting he should still have more respect for her than to go call her that nasty name on the Internet for strangers to see

That's funny, I'm having the same issue. My sun has a 4 day weekend from school & my boyfriend & myself have been fighting over everything, so we took my son to my parents to get alone time. As soon as we got back to the house we started to fight again today. Sucks.

Sounds like your username could be hers, too!

What? Wasn't your comment different here? Edit: nvm I found it sorry!

If I was arguing a lot with my husband, organized the weekend alone and then wanted to back out, I would probably have given up on the relationship. She probably got sick of being called a **** all of the time... I think you need couples counciling.

If his username is any indication, I think she understands him just fine. If he doesn't respect her and doesn't care about resolving their issues, why should she sleep with him?

If you expect to have some "alone time" with your wife after fighting so much... Maybe you should resolve your issues first?

Yeah, that's kind of how it works - you can't have make-up sex without making up first.

For some couples, fighting is foreplay.

Cool story, bro.

Your name says it all about you. No wonder she doesn't want to be around you.

So much for "Through sickness and in health..." and all that other good stuff.

If he treats her this badly on FML (read his user name), would you want to be with him?!
