Not sure if this is the right forum, but just wanted to get things off my chest and if possible, get some advice for my current issues.
Married for three years with my current wife who was a Malaysian PR up until late last year when she became a Singaporean citizen. We have a ten month old daughter and things have been okay that is until CB struck. She has been extremely moody and emotional over not being able to go back to jb to see her parents as before CB would go back almost every weekend to visit. Each time she gets a update on MCO extension from Muhyiddin, she would completely shut down and the bulk of child rearing becomes my responsibility. The recent announcement about the MCO extension to 31/8/2020 was the worst, she literally turned into someone who has stage 4 lung cancer and had no will to cook, eat or do anything. I have been the recipient of her tantrums as her ventilation outlet. These past few months, I have been enduring it, buying food for her and letting her say nasty things to me like “Your mother is here in Singapore, that’s why it is so easy for you!” I visit my mum who stays alone about three times a week for about an hour to make sure things are okay. I reduced the visiting time to appease my wife. Everyday when I wake up and see her face, whatever motivation I have to power through at work, vanishes. Her temper flare-ups over trivial matters at home like placement of cups; must be flushed with handles out, are starting to grate at me. I have considered divorce but when i see my daughter, i hold back my thoughts and move on. Just wondering if there is anyone facing a similar issue as me during this CB with a non-local spouse. I am looking for support from people who share the same woes.
