The only time she is home, she complains that the chores aren't getting done, and that i better get shit done if i want "to keep her". I work during the day, when she is usually doing the chores(she isnt working at the time), and then i do some things at night when i come home. I
This statement bothers me.

as well as a few other things you've said...

She seems to be holding all the cards in the relationship in a way of controlling what happens... It's all about her... Takes two people to make a relationship work, and you have to do y our part by not letting her control you.

When you're working during the day.... what are your expectations for lack of a better term of her? Chores? what kind of chores need to be done? CHores are something that's given to a child to do for their allowance...

Has she ever worked in your relationship, or is she happy being a housewife?

Sounds like you've both bitten off more than you can chew, and it's a problem in many young marriages... you were in love so you got married.. especially since this was yor first love... .now the love has worn off a little and you're confronted with real life.. Real life can suck sometimes...

Hang in there.. and talk to her - not accusing her of anything - but let her know how you are feeling.

When she goes out - what do you do? Sit home and watch television? Why don't you go out with her? Are you invited?
