Gud, if your wife has decided she's not part of the family, then I don't see why you have to do shit for her. No cooking, no working on her website, no laundry, nothing on her car.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm not feeling any sympathy for the wife here. Sorry, it seems a benefit to all if she stays away for a while. I certainly wouldn't cater to her sulking either. I work hard, but I know each and every day how much my efforts are appreciated. No way I would cater to someone who wasn't grateful, or worse, who was critical.
Just stating facts.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I wish I could kill myself and stop all the stress
Would you please, PLEASE see a therapist? If you are at the point of wishing you could end your life, you need professional help very, VERY badly.

And frankly, if she's not contributing to the family, I don't see why she gets any part of your salary either.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thank you all for your kind words.
Gud, my heart goes out to you. At this point I am not at all sure how to convey support and love to you in a way that would be most meaningful to you. I wish I did, because you deserve to be lifted up by people who care about you. You deserve kindness. It is not selfish to want to relax after a busy day like you have had. You deserve rest and relaxation too.

Because books.
I'm so sorry, WindSparrow. He was incredibly loved.

Exactly what WindSparrow said. Exactly. Sending you love, and if it would help, sending your wife love, too, in the hope that she can find help for herself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Also, I've been nonstop busy all day and I really just want to relax for a bit, which probably makes me as selfish as she says I am.
It absolutely positively does not.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Gud, there is no way on God's green earth that any rational person would call you selfish for wanting a little time to relax after a busy day. No fucking way.
If you really are feeling like you want to end your life, I echo what Steph said about a therapist, but in the moment, there are also a number of hotlines you can call. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline's number is 800-273-8255.

Thrive to spite them
You are not selfish Gud. Your wife is acting selfish and cruel and has been for a long time. Your son seems to be especially suffering from her actions. Please, please talk to a therapist.
