Today, my husband has been super happy for the last 11 weeks, as he's been able to tell me what to do, when to do it and how to do it. Now I'm allowed to start work again, he's gone back to being super shitty. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I haven’t spoken to my husband in a week, and when I finally spoke to him he thanked me because he’s gotten so much work done round the house, caught up on all his paperwork for his job, and reconnected with his Xbox friends. I didn’t realise I was such a fucking distraction. FML
Today, I got a job, a good job with benefits, a 401(k), and took a lot of work to get this: background check, drug testing, being qualified and I need to pay bills. I can't even be happy because my husband got demoted. It's all about him, and fuck my hard work. FML
Today, my husband suddenly decided he was going to stop talking about all the changes he needed to make, and finally do them. That's great, except that in less than a day, he lost his shit at me and our young kids for not immediately fixing everything about ourselves as well. They're still sobbing and he doesn't care. FML
Today, my husband controls every part of my life and has done so for the last 10 years and I'm too much of a pussy to leave. FML
Today, my husband is miserable. He couldn't sleep. He tried to make me feel bad for sleeping through the night. I was medicated from a brain scan. His is work is horrible, and no one understands, etc. He's mad that I took a walk. Now, as I am frustrated and crying, he is laughing on the phone with his coworkers. FML
Today, after my husband read about mental load and about what he could do to help with mine, I came home to a clean house, the chores done, and dinner on the stove. I was more anxious and stressed than ever, thinking, "What did he fuck up that I'm gonna find and have to fix at the worst possible time?" FML
Today, my husband explained that talking to me makes him miserable. FML
Today, I came back from a week-long vacation, to find my fiance had cleaned the house top to bottom, and finished three projects he was constantly putting off. I was over the moon, until he said, "Yeah, when you're not nagging me all day, I can actually get shit done. Crazy, huh?" FML
Today, my husband told me that, to feel less unreliable, he was just going to stop saying he was going to do anything around the house. That way, when he actually did something (i.e. wash dishes), I could be pleasantly surprised. FML
Today, I told my husband I felt unfulfilled and unhappy in my life. He suggested I do more chores. FML

no, he's been super shitty the entire time, just in different ways. his behavior in both cases is unacceptable. why are you tolerating it? you're not his property

Make me a pie, and bring me my slippers. Go mow the back yard -- that grass ain't gonna cut itself. That does make me happy!

Tell him, not us, if he doesn't do something about his behaviour, you'll move out(not necessarily divorce)

What you allow, is what will continue.

sounds like it is very much time for you to go back to being super single. Screw your husband and enjoy your life. find someone who will treat you right.

This is domestic abuse. Pure and simple. You need to find a safe way to leave. There are domestic violence hotlines and shelters that can help. It might not seem so bad when you are in it. But once you get out, you will realize just how much abuse there was. Hide your money, make a plan, leave. Abusers get worse if they think you are going to leave and right after. Be safe. His behavior will get worse. You are not safe.

This sounds like a very unhealthy relationship... may be time to reevaluate it.
