My (m33) wife (f25) seems to be a workaholic and is obsessed with her work. She recently graduated with her masters but she’s been supporting herslwlf since she was 18 by running an Etsy shop. I got laid off 3 years ago and have been unable to find a job ever since.

Apart from working, my wife also writes books as a hobby which she wants to self publish once she finishes edits (she wrote 2 so far), she’s also just started a true crime YouTube channel. You’d think that’s enough right? Wrong. She also goes swimming 3 times a week and has language classes. It’s ridiculous.

I had some friends over a few nights ago na we were playing some games and having a beee. My wife doesn’t like my mates but they brought their girlfriends/wives so she could’ve made an effort.

Instead, she told me she didn’t even know they were coming as I didn’t tell her I incod them. and she already had plans. She locked herself up on her office to write her book or a script or whatever.

I was passed. I texted her multiple times but she ignored me. When she went to the kitchen to get water, I confronted her and told her she’s a workaholic and money obsessed. My friends heard it.

And she had the audacity to say that if. Wasn’t for my debt she wouldn’t have to work this much. I told her she was out of line. She called me an asshol and some other things . She slept on the couch in her office thag night (her decision) and we’re on no speaking terms.

My mates agree with me (they generally think she’s stuck up anyway) b it said I was the asshole for airing dirty laundry publicly and should’ve addressed it privately. I guess they’re right and I’m the asshole for that but I was angry?

I wonder was I the asshole. Because of so I kic need to apologize and bring up the issue privately.

Sorry for the typos, new phone
