When you’ve hit the marriage part of your marriage, you’ll be relieved to know that there are plenty of support groups in the 4007 community for you. You are not alone.
– Support group for women whose husbands work from home
Come and meet up with other sufferers to discuss all things intensely irritating about your husband working from home. Learn strategies on how to avoid punching him in the throat when he breezily asks ‘what’s for lunch?’ or ‘where are you going?’ Vent your frustrations about his loud-talking phone calls, and your right to not want sex between the hours of 9-5pm. Learn methods to calmly communicate that clearly, if he wants more sex with you, your biggest turn on is seeing him in his suit, getting the hell out of your house every day.
– Support group for men, whose wives’ small business/side hustle/obsessive hobby is costing them 30K a year.
Be it interior design, organic health and wellness or extreme athletic eventing….there’s one guarantee. It’s all unfathomably fucking expensive. You poor conflicted bastards. On one hand, her side gig keeps her from getting up in your grill every 5 minutes and gives her something to focus on other than what colour your next doona cover should be. On the other hand, if you ask her to drop it, you’re officially the biggest and most selfish bastard on the planet. Learn strategies on how not to glaze over when she starts banging on about scatter cushions, or how to exercise your right to eat gluten in your own friggin house. Come and share your story with other sufferers, even though basically, she’s got you by the balls and there is fuck all you can do about it.
– Support group for wives and husbands who work in the same business.
You’ve gotten yourselves into this mess, now you’re locked into some kind of mutual Stockholm syndrome hostage situation. You depend on each other, neither of you can quit either the job or the marriage. It’s all completely fucked. Your only hope is one of you dies, so the other can get some alone time for fuck’s sake.
–Support group for wives and husbands who work in the same business AND from home.
Call Lifeline 13 00 00. We’re lighting a candle over here for you guys.
–Support group for wives whose husbands travel for work.
Strictly speaking, it’s more of a happy hour than a support group. Get the babysitter on speed dial and head to Bar 150, with gin cocktails every Friday from 9.30am straight after drop off.
Stay tuned for more community support groups….because everyone is entitled to our opinion.

To whom it may concern. I think we live across the road from you, and we would appreciate it if you would stop using our lives for material. Not really. I mean, we do live across the road from you, but your writing is as funny as all get out, so do whatever you have to do to keep up the amazing work. D.
Hello! Thank you for the kind words and if indeed you live across the road from us, don’t hesitate to say hi!
