My Wife Watches Netflix All Day, Expects Me To Cook After Work, Posts Constantly About Feminism

Indian wives have surely moved from the times of being allegedly harassed to allegedly harassing husbands! The idea of domestic abuse 20-30 years ago has been completely redefined and today, even expecting your wife (not working) at home to cook, can be termed as patriarchal and oppressive. 

Are women today getting married for love, companionship and family or to merely transfer their burden from dotting dads to henpecked husbands? This is a result of several women empowerment campaigns being run online – mostly to brainwash women how everything is a Right for them, while all Duties and Responsibilities must rest with the husband. 

We came across one such post on social media, where a recently married 29-year-old IT professional has expressed what marriage means to him and what it means to his wife independently.

His Story – Speak Up Men  

29M. Married recently and its been 4 months. Before marriage we agreed we both will work because we live in Bangalore and expenses are high here. We both come from a small town and our parents live back there. Here comes a lot of problems. She doesn’t want to work now, she says she is simply preparing for better companies but doesn’t even care about applying. She doesn’t know cooking or cleaning or keeping a house. I work almost 12 hours a day and I can’t be cooking and cleaning because I’m tired already. I don’t want to waste money on Swiggy or Zomato and I don’t like outside food either because it’s unhealthy.

All she does is simply watching Netflix and Prime Video all day and expects me to buy food for her and clean the house and everything. I don’t understand where this audacity comes from. It’s not just her, most of her friends and women of this age are like that. They simply think their husband is like their father and he should be able to tolerate their laziness and entitled behaviour and also give money to them and buy them stuff.

She ordered so many costly clothes online on my credit card without even telling me. When I confronted her she started crying by saying how her dad buys all the stuff without even asking and why I can’t i do all these stuff and how she left her parents and came to me. I don’t understand this mentality at all. Even I left my parents and we are both living together.

These are the same women who call themselves feminists online, leech on their men, and have the audacity to whine about it when we tell them to pay for themselves instead of cheaply depending on a man. She posts so many things about feminism and women empowerment on her Instagram…it’s hilarious. I think most women these days have this attitude and don’t even have the respect for our hard-earned money and time and think themselves of princesses when in reality they are just educated beggars relying on others.

I want a divorce and told all of these to her parents and their parents are begging me to adjust and tell me this is how she is like. How do I get rid of a leech? Please help me. I don’t want to pay a single penny to her and want to recover the money and time she made me spend.
