My wife and I have been married for 6 years and we have a 4yo child together. We used to be a normal couple like everyone else, but over the last 2 years my wife has started behaving so weird.
She’s vegetarian and I’m non-vegetarian, but earlier she never had a problem with me eating non-veg. Even on dates we used to order both veg and non-veg food without any issue. Now she suddenly has a huge problem with it. She doesn’t let me keep non-veg food in the fridge and even bought separate utensils and a separate fridge for it. I was still okay with that, but now she won’t even kiss me if I’ve eaten non-veg unless I brush my teeth first like… what even is this? As a result I have stopped showing even a bit a physical affection towards her and now just mind my own business at home and to my surprise she is not even complaining either
And that’s not all, she has become obsessed with cleanliness. She wants the bedsheets changed every 3 days, and every weekend she washes curtains, rugs, covers basically everything in the house and ask me to do it too, she won't let me rest AT ALL, our entire weekends are spent cleaning everything. She has become extremely nitpicky and makes a fuss over the smallest things.
we’ve changed 4 maids and 3 cooks this year because they all quit after dealing with her behavior. She keeps adding extra work for them and if there’s even the slightest dirt somewhere she wants everything cleaned again. Now no maids or cooks want to work at our house and they have blacklisted us from society maid group, my wife has divided all the household work between us instead of looking for another maid.
Another thing concerning is that how she’s teaching our 4-year-old child about atheism. We are practicing Hindus but she doesn’t like our son watching mythology shows like Ramayana or learning about Hinduism at all. She openly says she doesn’t want him exposed to “misogyny" in religion. Like dude make it make sense, what misogyny? whenever we visit my parents, my wife tells my mom to not to teach him anything about Hinduism because she feels we shouldnt teach our child about any religion and make it their identity, my son is basically growing up disconnected from his culture and that genuinely concerns me.
And also this is not enough she had the epiphany that all our food is adulterated. we already eat fairly decent and good quality food but she suddenly decided that everything in the market is unhealthy, so she literally bought a farm in a tier-3 town and hired a farmer to grow vegetables for us. The whole thing costs a bank man and how would she even know the farmer isn’t using pesticides? On top of that, she has banned refined flour, sweets, and processed food from our home, doesn't let me or my son eat anything apart from home made food
I seriously don’t know what happened. She was completely normal 2 years ago, and all of this slowly escalated over time. Now it has reached an extreme level and I genuinely don’t know how to survive in this house without banging my head on the wall, my wife is trying to dictate everything according to her and if doesn't go she gets irritated, oh goddd she's so exhausting I am so tired
