When my husband is driving and we get to the gate, I get down and open the gate for him to drive in or out. When I’m the one driving, my husband sits there, watching me get down, open the gate, get back into the car, and drive into the house or out, depending on where we’re going.
I talked to him about it. I told him it doesn’t make him any less of a man to do little things like that for me. After all, I do it for him too. He answered, “If it’s such a little thing, then why are you complaining about it?”
He didn’t change, so I stopped talking about it. One day our gas finished, and I loaded the cylinder into the car. We went out, and on our way home we refilled it. I was the one driving. When we got to the gate, he sat still, waiting for me to get down, open the gate, get back into the car, and drive us inside.
I begged him to do it for me and also carry the gas cylinder upstairs.
My husband got out of the car, walked through the gate without opening it, and went upstairs. He was angry that I had asked him to do such a little thing for me. I had to do it myself and also carry the gas cylinder upstairs.
The next day he came asking for the car keys. I told him, “You can call an Uber or get a taxi. I’m not giving you my car.”
He stood there looking at me angrily. He said, “Oh, now we’re doing what’s mine and what’s yours? Fine!”
Then he stepped out.
I Called My Girlfriend And Another Man Answered The Phone
He’s trying to use the silent treatment to get me to apologize to him, but he’s wasting his time. I had the car before this marriage. He never buys fuel. On the rare occasion that he has to buy fuel because the tank is empty, he buys just enough to take him where he’s going and bring the car back almost empty. I didn’t complain, but he can’t do something as simple as opening the gate for me.
I swear this silence can go on forever. Even if he comes around, I won’t mind him. He’s trying to bully me, but I’ve had enough. Or does the head of the house not open gates?

You are married to the most childish man on earth. He can’t even apply do unto others what you want to be done unto you. When you are married so such immature person, it makes marriage exhausting. I can relate! He does not even own the car and he is behaving like this. I bet you, if he owned the car, you will never have driven it. Ignore his malice.
