If this were a AITA post on reddit, pretty much every woman would be posting DUMP HIM. So, you’re proud of your love and for cooling down instead of being self-righteously angry (even though you had no real reason to be angry.) However, you’re obvisouly still angry for no good reason because you decided to share it with the world, presumably trying to publicly shame your wife in front of her family and friends. Telling the world that she might have poisoned you, she didn’t know how to disarm a wired smoke detector, she gets annoyed because you mansplain cooking to her (without evidence of actual research, classes or knowledge beyond what you ‘suppose’ might be the best way to cook things), and you are so useless at home that if you are not hanging over micromanaging what your wife’s doing, you then hang over what your daughter is doing. Wasn’t there anything else you could do? Clean? Laundry? Wash the car? Balance the family check book? Make dessert? Set the table? Possibly do a hobby of your own such as your own drawing? Then you leave and go off on your own and I honestly have to wonder if it would have been far more thoughtful if you offered your wife a chance to go off on her own instead. She’s stuck at home, with a kid, with dishes possibly and she lives with self-righteous anger mansplainer with dreadful interpersonal skills. You are joyriding. You think buying flowers for everyone makes up for being hard to live with. It doesn’t. You think buying flowers makes up for bitching out your wife in the public press. It doesn’t. Fix your flaws buddy. Stop whining about your partner’s. And if you have opinions about how something should be cooked, then cook it yourself.
