View submission: Advice on Spouse Decisions
Especially given the contempt here...
she seems to just not care about doing good work
​
...and what sounds like viewing his spouse as a either a child or his subordinate.
but also feel like I haven’t done a good job setting expectations and consideration of family needs (paying expenses), doing what’s needed in the moment.

Both contempt and a parent/child dynamic are utterly toxic to a partnership.

I agree that’s how it reads, but I don’t think we can/should assume too much from one Reddit post. Assuming OP is likely frustrated and word choice isn’t ideal. No sense in reading more into it and giving a diagnosis. A counselor is a good place for them to start though.

It sounds like she behaves like a child. Puts OP in a tough spot. It's not fair to absolve her of her actions while criticizing OP.
