Have you watched VH1 recently, where the women who get airtime are skanks trying to bed a has-been rocker and/or rapper. How about shows like The Hills, or any show on E! where the women are either D list stars known best for their porn tape, one of Hugh Hefner's gals, or morons who work at a tanning salon.
Not that men have it all that great either, but compared to women we're doing pretty good.
I'm seriously starting to wonder if you're some sort of chick spy. Wine, Doogie, manners, sticking up for women. What gives, "dude"?

Hey, I'd fit right in in Europe
If it makes you feel better, I'll try and be a little less of this:

My wife is playing it up for all it's worth, I try to be understanding, but one can only be called a selfish jerk so many times (while cleaning the house, making dinner, finishing the laundry, changing diapers and doing the dishes after working 17 of the last 18 days while the wife is on the couch) before getting rather miffed.

It cannot be this bad...poor you. Remember, you probably had a good time implanting the seed, so now just buck up boy.

Oh, and did I mention my wifes family just left town after being here for a month?

No, its that bad for wart. This isn't the only time he's complained about this (and it didn't just start when she became pregnant)
edit : Wart you need to stick up for yourself, if you keep doing everything she tells you to do she's not going to stop. At some point you need to put your finger down. If you're doing all that stuff what does your wife do (and hopefully you don't say she just takes care of Stinky all day).

She does a lot of the houswork when I am at work, but she has been dealing with morning sickness and has not had much energy. I have no problem doing housework, after all, I do live there. She gets so angry when things around the house are not done the EXACTLY the way she likes them done, but I tell her I have lived on my own for over 10 years, and if I am going to do things around the house, I will do them my way, if she does not like it, she can do them herself. I don't let her walk all over me, I did that with my ex, and she said she had no respect for me. I sometimes think my wife is looking for things to get angry about, and that is no way to live.

Real nice. Just to let you know, when a woman is pregnant, she's hornier than ever so if your wife doesn't want it, maybe its not really about being pregnant, but more likely about you making lovely statements like that!
Zoiks! Yeah, I wish my wife were pregnant again. That was an awesome 18 months. But we're done.
(2 kids).
Glad you clarified that. For a second, I thought you'd impregnated an elephant.

Well, if she's not a nice person, she's not a nice person it probably has little to do with being pregnant, except for this.....when your pregnant you have little control over your emotions and the bad part is you realize this and seem to be powerless to do anything about it. I'm sure this is hard for men to understand, but it is true - not pretty but true. She should be trying to make up for being mean outside of bedroom by being an animal inside the bedroom. It seems like your speaking up for yourself. Hope it gets better for you.
I think the only time I can understand a woman being a bit of an itch is when she's pregnant. Good God that can't be fun to carry around an extra 40 lbs around your belly and have that thing pushing on your bladder all the time. Feet swelling, feeling fat and ugly, hormones, mood swings, morning sickness (is there anything worse than knowing you're going to be throwing up every morning?). Then, the grand finale, shoving a bowling ball out of a cheerio.
It doesn't give her a right to be mean, or to never do anything, but my goodness brother, that's your CHILD, and she's carrying it for you. That's a pretty big gift all in itself...maybe I'm sappy right now because my best friend just had a baby boy yesterday, and I know what the girl goes through for 9 months. He complained quite a bit about it too though, and his wife was most certainly NOT horny throughout it (according to him anyway).
