“I Ended Up Losing My Mind”: Man Asks If He Was Wrong To Yell At His Wife After She Woke Him Up To Help With The Kids

ADVERTISEMENT

Recently, a married man and a dad to two kids, a 7-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl, turned to the AITA community for advice. In a post that received 2.1k comments, the author Sayejav explained that lately he has been beyond exhausted, both due to deadlines at work and stress at home where his wife, a stay-at-home mother, has not been feeling much better.

“I was dragged to the hospital by my co-workers after nearly passing out for only walking. The doctor demanded that I take a week’s medical leave because I was already on the verge of a burnout,” Sayejav wrote. So after coming back home, the author asked his wife for “a day off from everything,” and they made an agreement.

However, it seems like there was a miscommunication between the two, and Sayejav went into a full-on breakdown.

    So the guy is legitimately sick but she needs to go to yoga class? How is this even a question. Even housecleaning can wait. Health is more important

    But if you read the whole thing, it's his insane work hours that have exhausted him. Not his wife or kids. Whilst she was unreasonable to wake him up, her lifestyle and the kids school weren't the problem.,

    NTA. I know this kind of exhaustion. You can't think straight. You can't function. Everything in your body aches and you don't care where you lay, you're out the moment you close your eyes. Let the guy sleep.

    Definitely nta. I suffer from on and off insomnia and right now, I'm in the position of having to go to work on just three hours sleep. When I get home, I'm taking a pill and going back to bed. If anyone tries to wake me up, murder will be committed, just saying.

    He said if he gets a day off then so does she the next day or a later date. I guarantee on her whole day off she would make sure she did nothing with the kids. Crazy she asked him tobwatch them so she could do yoga after they agreed he gets a whole day off.

    I think some of this doesn't add up, if he's overworked for months, when exactly is she "getting a day off" ? Just wondering... I want to hear both sides. Everyone is taking his word for everything, the OP in the AITA is always going to make themselves sound sympathetic, I want more info.
