Am I taking a really extreme step?

Ignore the women on this forum. They couldn’t save anything. Firstly yes it is an extreme step. Secondly if I may, I would like to point out that you have unwillingly been whipped. From what I can tell in the posts and by my own assumptions is that you are in most cases the one to bridge the gaps and offer the solutions.

I apologise before hand for what I am to say as after this is your wife. As PCG said time to grow a pair. When a woman realises she can effectively blow you off and just be moody and you will run after her, it gives her too much control over you. I for one would just be just as stubborn as her and teach her a lesson and your wife does need to be taught a lesson. She can not act like a two year old. She has to act like an adult.

So I suggest you just ignore her. Make your own food, order take out and I would highly recommend going out for dinner. Additionally I know you spend time with the kids, but do so more often specifically infront of her. To show that you are ignoring her for her actions.

Yes this is all childish. Yes it is mean and rude. But you have to reestablish dominance in the family and in your relationship.

For now ignore the flight and ticket question. Concentrate on being man of the house again.

Best advice.

Wow, as expected, the man must always be the cause of the problem, and the woman is always the angel. If she ever acts inappropriately, let’s put allllll the blame on the man

She’s not a 10 year old, you do not need to probe and search and babysit her when she’s throwing tantrums. As Sara also mentioned earlier, what an immature and irresponsible way to show she’s angry. What if you do the same and stop providing her financially? Even if her anger IS justified in some way, is this really how a wife and a mother of two children should act? I cannot believe people here are finding no issues with how she’s behaving.
The mature way would be to communicate and resolve problems, not give up on housework and act like a child. As a husband, you deserve respect and there are certain adaabs to follow in one’s marriage. Seems like you’re fed up of all this, anyone would be, especially after doing so much for their family.
