| 0:00.0 | My entitled wife blames me for her trip to France going so poorly, claiming that I actively |
| 0:05.6 | tried to sabotage her trip despite the fact that I paid for all of it and was the only one that |
| 0:10.6 | planted out just so she could go in the first place. And now she wants to break up with me, |
| 0:15.3 | refusing to even talk to me in general until I realize all the wrong that I had done to her. |
| 0:20.5 | And at this point, I'm so exhausted and I don't know what to do. |
| 0:23.6 | So my wife has wanted to teach abroad since I've met her. |
| 0:26.9 | I'm a cautious person at fault, so much so that I told her I really didn't want her to go. |
| 0:31.8 | This spawned several arguments, with me calling stating that it's a stupid idea, |
| 0:36.4 | but only out of pure fear for her safety. Regardless of my fears, I realize I was being |
| 0:41.7 | inconsiderate, and we've since moved on from that. Fast forward to October, and we have a trip |

| 0:56.7 | out with our oldest for a week. I'm staying behind, because finance wise, I would need to work |
| 1:01.9 | a lot more to make sure we could afford this. During this time, we get into another argument, |
| 1:07.1 | because I apparently haven't helped her plan the trip, and she's struggling. |
| 1:11.0 | My rebuttal is I've been busy with work, and this hasn't been a priority, |
| 1:14.9 | as I'm the sole provider for the family. But that proved to definitely be the wrong answer. |
| 1:19.5 | I eventually came to my senses and take the reins on the trip planning. |
| 1:23.3 | The plans for this trip proceeded to change five times, over the next few weeks, up until December, |
| 1:28.7 | causing me to be on my phone quite a bit with airlines, hotels, and other travel vendors to make |
| 1:34.2 | sure it all lines up. It's pretty inconvenient, and I show flashes of anger because of this, |
| 1:39.5 | but I always lied and told her everything was fine. After all, I didn't want to make this |
