I'd really like to post snarky stuff about Trump, but I don't have time.
I'm feeling kind of down. My wife apparently thinks I'm too lazy and don't do enough. The last four days I've been solid busy from waking up to collapsing in bed. I'm thinking I just suck at doing stuff in general. I feel miserable a lot of the time, and I just seem to disappoint people no matter how much I try and I guess mostly fail to do. What the fuck is the point? I wish I could just go to sleep and not have to wake up.
Gud, your wife is not a credible source. Her opinions belong in the junk folder.
I'm sorry, Gud. That sounds like a very difficult situation. It doesn't seem from here as if you are lazy or don't do much or are bad at doing stuff.
Tres cool, sarameg!
Gud, I suggest you make a poster for each member of the family and hang them on the wall. Underneath each person's name, write all the tasks they do. That way you can all actually see who does what. Maybe your son can cook once every couple of weeks, maybe your daughter adds vacuuming on Saturday before dinner to her list. Maybe your wife will see what you do and realize her expectations are off.
Gud, you are clearly constantly busy, so busy that you don't have time for yourself. I do not understand why you accept your wife's statements this way: she is wrong.

Yeah this. Your wife is the problem, Gud. Not you. She's a problematic person.
Gud, I hate seeing how your wife treats you. That is not okay, and you deserve much better. You children shouldn't have to see their mother emotionally abusing their father. Your wife's behavior hurts your kids as much as it hurts you.
Gud, there's a lot of good advice given already. I'd like to add -- see a counselor. Someone who can give you perspective and help you form a longer-term plan.
