Reddit users are showing immense support to a man who asked \u2018AITA for telling my wife it is time to go back to work\u2019 and the ending of his story will take you by surprise. <\/strong><\/p>\n The Reddit post attracted one-sided opinions until the husband highlighted issues in his relationship with his wife and users think he\u2019s reached the end of his tether. The husband says comments under his post made him reach a \u201crealization\u201d that was much needed for his own good. <\/p>\n The Reddit user\u2019s wife has been out of work since 2018. In her fifth year as a teacher, she suffered a major meltdown and stopped working. Since then, she has been in counseling and her husband began marriage counselling during the Covid pandemic. <\/p>\n As the husband is the only earning member of the family since his wife doesn\u2019t have a job, he has been working extra hours at work, clocking in over 18 hours a day sometimes to save enough for their retirement as well as to handle the expenses of the house. <\/p>\n The couple sought advice from a marriage counsellor when their wife complained that they were pushing her to return to work too much, and he needed to do extra shifts in order to compensate for the loss of her income. <\/p>\n They had another fight recently and when the Reddit user told his wife to go back to work and she said it wasn\u2019t the right time yet. She has made great progress and by rushing in, she would be losing everything she\u2019s worked toward in the last five years. <\/p>\n A wife blaming her husband, broke down. The husband argued the added onus may cause him to have a meltdown, but he doesn\u2019t have the luxury of not working like his wife. <\/p>\n He goes to the office, and when he returns home, there is no food. They order food in advance from resorts or restaurants. <\/p>\n She was angry that her husband complained about the couple’s expenses, even though his earnings alone were higher than their total income. But she didn’t realize he had put in more hours to make money for them both. <\/p>\n Apparently, the therapist also feels the husband\u2019s issues aren\u2019t as serious as his wife\u2019s. He suggested that a part time job could be a good way to relax, but his wife and the therapist advised him not to do so. They also said it would be better for him to cut down on retirement savings and hold off on taking out loans until his wife was well. <\/p>\n The husband suggested that they downsize and rent out their home to pay off the mortgage. However, the therapist warned against this as it could have been too radical for the wife. <\/p>\n The husband finally realized he had a life of his own and he couldn\u2019t clear his wife\u2019s debts forever while she supported herself on his sole income.<\/p>\n In the update, the Reddit user revealed that he\u2019s meeting with a lawyer to consider all his options as he\u2019s decided to move out of the house he and his wife lived in. The Reddit user will stay with a close friend while he sort things out. <\/p>\n Reddit users have seconded the husband\u2019s decision to walk out of the marriage and focus on his life. <\/p>\n \u201cDespite the blow-up, I say NTA. Your voice sounds exhausted and beyond your capacity. How about five years with up to 84 hour weeks? Do you sleep?,\u201d asked one. <\/p>\n Another added: \u201cAsk her what about\u00a0your\u00a0mental and physical health. Do you know if the therapist really validates all of this? Sounds a lot like your wife is just saying \u2018but my therapist says\u2026\u2019 to sort of add weight to what she says. And to accuse you of manipulation is ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt may be time to call this an unsustainable relationship and let it go,\u201d said another. <\/p>\n Reddit users are showing immense support to a man who asked \u2018AITA for telling my wife it is time to go back to work\u2019 and the ending of his story will take you by surprise.
