My Wife’s Love is Suffocating Me (And I Feel Like a Monster)

Okay, I know how this sounds. My wife is amazing—loving, devoted, a literal 1950s-housewife fantasy. And yet… I’m drowning. 😅 Since she retired, her entire existence orbits around me. Breakfast in bed, snacks on demand, non-stop "Honey, do you need—?" I zone out like a lobotomized husband, then panic-scramble to do laundry just so she’ll stop. I hide in the garage. I fake DIY projects. I pray for her to binge The Great British Bake Off so I can exist unsupervised for 20 minutes. Is this guilt? Claustrophobia? Or just the shock of going from latchkey kid to king of a too-perfect castle? I love her. But damn, I miss missing her. #MarriageStruggles #TradWifeProblems #TooMuchLove #BoomerConfessions
