Am I really being unreasonable to ask my wife to move out?

Question

I have taken a strong dislike to my wife recently. Notably, I have begun to loathe such habits as using a dinner fork to stir sauces and insisting that the toaster setting be set to '6', which I feel is far too high.

Anyway, I have proposed the idea that she should leave the house and live in an apartment, that I would be happy to purchase. I was startled that rather than be grateful and being packing her personal effects immediately, she instead became enraged. There she stood, ranting like a harridan about how unacceptable my behaviour was, and even talking of me leaving - imagine such a thing!

So, dear YA users, some advice please would be gratefully appreciated. How can I compel this irritating woman to leave my house?

Answer 1

you sound like the irritant here.  asking your WIFE to leave b/c she uses silverware in such a horrid way?!?!  And even that is retarded.  I see nothing wrong with her actions.  I can think of many others that would constitue her moving out such as cheating, drug use, running around and spending all your money, having random men in your bed...so think about it.  if you don't like the freaking toaster up that high then turn it down when you use it.  Really.  Are you a moron?  You leave.  It will be a favor to HER!

Answer 2

Uhhh, it's not "Your" house, if she gets a lawyer it will be "Her" house.

Answer 3

Good one, ha ha.   Thanks for the points.

Answer 4

Either this is a joke or you are being an idiot. I am not surprised she got angry. You are lucky she did not bury the fork in you!

Why don't you move out before she serves divorce papers and claims the whole house and 3/4's of your income for life?

What happened to mutual respect ?

Answer 5

OH GOD LOL!!! OH GOD THIS GUY !!!!!!!!! HE JUST MAKES MY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Yes, that's completely and utterly unreasonable. If you don't love her anymore, then divorce her. There is no difference if you guys become separated anyway. You just need to overlook those pet peeves and see her for who she is.

Answer 7

lol !!!! this guy is sooo effin crazy ~~~~ lol lol

you go troll lol

Answer 8

She is clearly an unreasonable person. Setting the toaster to 6 makes it harder to spread roque fort onto. Clearly she needs to be rid of.

Answer 9

Sounds pretty unreasonable to me.  I guess think about how it would be in the opposite.  Like she doesn't like the way you chew anymore so you need to leave.  

Sounds like there is a lot more going on here.  I guess being a woman I too would become enraged.  If not more than that.  Good luck.

It will probably cost you more than an apartment in the long run.  If you are so unhappy, get your own apartment.

Answer 10

I don't want to sound harsh but is that the only reason you don't want her there?  I mean, are those nerve-racking habits of hers the reason to this proposed separation?  Are you willing to divorce her because of it?

You have to look at her point of view also.  You became equally outraged when she asked you to leave.  Sounds like yall have a War of the Roses thing going on.  I can see it now.  :-)

Answer 11

Hate to tell ya, but half of yours is hers.  (Possession is 9/10s of the law!!)  If she's that irritating, why don't YOU move out?  I don't mean to be rude, but she has just as much right to stay in the house as you do, and I'm sorry, but your reasons for wanting her to leave are shallow and childish.  We all have our quirks.  I'm sure there are things that you do that run her up the walls, but she's not insisting that you move out because of them.  Maybe you should try walking in her shoes for a while.

I'm sorry, but if my hubby were to tell me he wanted me to move out because I insist he takes the dryer lint out the tray IMMEDIATELY after drying a load of clothes, or that he MUST take the trash out IMMEDIATELY after he gets off work Tuesday mornings, and that he CANNOT use the coffee pot for tea and vice versa, I'd laugh in his face and tell HIM to get packing; I'm not going anywhere!!

If this property was yours before you were married, I can see where you'd find it fair that she moves instead of you.  Otherwise, you'll just have to bide your time and let the judge decide who gets to stay in the house.  

God bless you...sounds like you really need it.

Answer 12

I would say if you are that unhappy then perhaps you should be the one to move.  Especially if small things like that are bothering you about her.
