Today, I have the flu. I had to wash the dishes, cook dinner, take out the trash, and take care of the laundry, all while my wife sat around watching TV, because she was "too tired". I work 8 hours a day. She's a college student. She doesn't see what's so unfair about this. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up with the flu. My wife thinks I'm faking it so we don't have to go on date night, even though I've been on the toilet all day. FML
Today, I came home after ten hours at work to find my unemployed wife and 4 kids sprawled out watching TV waiting for me to get home and cook for them. I had to wash all the dishes first because they didn't feel like getting up or helping. FML
Today, after weeks of my girlfriend complaining that I don't help with the chores, I secretly took a day off work to deal with some that were piling up. When she got home, all she could do was complain about how I hadn't done more. 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, my husband and I are sick. He keeps whining about how bad he feels. I'm just as sick, as well as 7 months pregnant. I've not only been taking care of his whiny ass: I've cooked, cleaned, and gone to the store several times because the tissues we had were too rough on his nose. FML
Today, after being sick all day with the flu, I asked my husband to wash the dishes after I went to bed. He said he couldn't because he had a large, important project for work that needed to get done. I woke up a couple of hours later to find him smoking weed on the couch and watching cartoons. FML
Today, at home, I always do my share of the chores. I just got back from a business trip and it turns out that I actually do ALL the chores. My wife was alone for 9 days, the kitchen was a in state, dirty laundry everywhere, cat litter box overflowing onto the floor, and the bathroom was fucking disgusting. FML
Today, I've been bedridden with the flu for two weeks. My boyfriend only got concerned because I haven't done any laundry, and was worried about what the girls at the coffee shop across from work would think if he turned up wearing the same clothes two days in a row. FML
Today, after almost a week of being bed-ridden with a bad flu, my mom told me it was my job to clean the house. When I told her I still had a fever and didn't feel well, she looked at me and said in an understanding voice "It's okay honey, you can do it slowly." FML
Today, my wife called me at work to yell at me because the house is a mess. She hasn't helped me clean in over two years, and when I ask for help, there's always a new excuse, headache, tired from work, stress, etc. FML

Just divorce that lazy bitch

If she was the sick one you would still be expecting her to do the normal cooking & cleaning. Man up, get over yourself. Men! When you're asked to do anything besides eat, sleep, crap, & watch tv you complain. Your flu isn't so bad that you don't feel well enough to get online to bitch about her.

Furthermore, if this was a woman saying the same thing everyone would be going on about how he's a hard worker and deserves some down time. Double standards.

YDI for marrying an immature college student... And people wonder why the divorce rate is so high. Because of ill-considered marriages.

I feel like the degree and level of degree she's working toward affects my opinion on this FML. If she's working on a PhD in biofuels, yeah I can see why she'd be too tired to help out. Some times I spend two days straight working on campus without any sleep at all, and I'm just an undergraduate!

Immature wife?

Uni is incredibly tiring at times, but she should have been helping you even if you weren't ill. You both work your arses off, she can't lump all the work onto you just because she's tired.

I'm in college, and while its not nothing it isn't hard either.

wow she is lazy. I've been out of school about 2 years now and working full time is 10x harder than finals week in college.

Since all she does is go to school, she should not be watching tv all day. She should be studying. When she takes breaks, she should use that time for cleaning. However op, because you allow her to act like this, I am saying you deserve it. Lay down the law, and make it clear that if she doesn't do her part, you aren't providing ANY monetary support (this includes "play money" and even money to pay for school). My dad had to do this to my stepmom because that's all she would do--sit around and watch tv, flunk her classes (that my dad paid for), and have my sister and I do all the house work. Needless to say, they are divorcing.

Karma has an awesome way of working though.
