Spouse has so much hatred

Always my wife complaints about me and my mom for being careless, not keeping house clean and mocks the behavior. She is backed by her family members. So she gets more motivation to do the same. She never thinks of it as we should be treated differently. As we have illness. My mom has cancer. It gives so much stress to me to do the work. I am always being put in a tough spot of handling stress everyday. Not sure how to overcome this. I need help. Please suggest me some options or advice.

best do what your wife suggests, clean more or confront her and explain why you can’t…get it out in the open before it festers into contempt.

I tried to explain many times why I am not able to do things as others. It goes to a deaf ears. I tried many ways to explain as well. I am tired now of explaining and feel nothing more to say. She has lost interest in me as well. She does not want to separate as well. We just live together because we have a kid and house which has a loan. More of an obligation than love.

I clean as much as I can and take care of things as much as I can and it is the past that she is concerned about and not the present. She lives in the past and always complaints how it was bad.

Can you afford to hire a cleaner?
Once a month is enough unless you are perfectionist.

Maybe you should divorce because you don’t sound happy in your relationship.
You can ask for help and support on how to divide mortgage and money and maybe share custody of your child.

Yes divorce is the obvious choice as we don’t gel well. I am trying to get separation asap. But she is delaying it. When I am financially stable I will tell this to her parents and try to separate. By laying out terms of separation.
