Husband’s midlife crisis has a wife hope he’s just cheating

More like being forbidden.

A hardworking woman, who, during a three-week trip, left her spouse with equipment, is said to have the wreckage of her return home – leaving the reader crying, laughing, and collectively saying: yikes: yikes.

In Reddit[ed] He’s just cheating. ”

“Three weeks ago, I left my job trip. My husband didn’t want to come.” She unveiled the painful story. “I thought, ‘Good, he’s an adult, he’ll be fine.’ He’s not good.”

The next day, she reported that the 41-year-old decided to become a “barbecue master” despite the lack of a grill.

He stacked baking trays, coated them with lighter liquid, and triggered a 40-minute smoke alarm. “The oven still smells like gasoline,” she wrote.

His “minimalist life” phase, inspired by Tiktok, reportedly came, the weird woman continued. Half of the plates in the house disappeared, leaving only the “salad bowl and dog water tray”.

Have a meal? Twenty frozen burritos were partially frozen because, in his words, “basically a cold packaging” and “save electricity.”

The laundry was abandoned and the man swirled between two pairs of basketball shorts, eventually blending what she called “denjean finish cardboard.”

After returning, she found him shirtless, playing him ordering Amazon’s recorder because, according to One Night Classical Music expert, “Mozart slaps.”

The house was infused with burnt plastic and pasture seasoning. She added: “This morning, I woke up and murmured, ‘I am a burrito.’

She sat in a cafe about ordeal, sighed and summed up her post, writing, “I hope you have less …smoky mornings.”

Reddit users did not back down on comments, reacting to their husband’s antics with the same shock and humor.

One person wrote: “I laughed, I cried.

Another outspoken suggestion: “It’s time for you to leave and find an adult partner. Leave a message that he’s found a doctor.”

Others have viewed it as a deeper question, noting: “It sounds like more of a mental health breakdown and asking for help.”

Another shocked Reddit stressed: “I was shocked how everyone thought it was the most interesting thing ever. There was nothing interesting about an inconsiderate and lazy person. A growing man – a man.”

As the post previously reported, a mom almost walked out after being “tired” with her partner who “does not help with housework” – when she finally went on strike, she said that it actually worked.

This scene of “the husband falls into chaos while his wife is doing all the heavy lifting”? Not exactly news. It’s a trend as old as a mismatched laundry room.

Recently, another woman was promoted by Reddit’s long-term partner who treated housework like an “optional side-task” and she allegedly dared to seek help.

But experts say the secret of a happy marriage is not a big gesture – it is actually doing housework together. “When you share small chores, you show each other that you are equal,” Dr. Hannah Lawson told The Daily Mail.
