Posting in the over 35 Misc bc I dont want typical Misc answers. Im not trying to bail out of a relationship because it's difficult and that's usually the answer people get when they're having relationship troubles.
Ive been with my fiance for two years. We've lived together almost the entire time. Our relationship has been healthy up until a few months ago we've hit a rough patch. I know I've posted on the forums before about helping my wife lose weight and being frustrated with that battle. Well that battle was never really won, things are more or less the same, as in I struggle/maintain a healthy lifestyle and she kinda floats around and does whatever. It's not a deal breaker for me and I love her just the same.
Or I thought I did -- except now I am picking fights with her for no reason. I dont even realize I'm doing it until it's done and I read though some of the messages we've sent or play back through the argument in my head.
Example: Today she didn't pack a lunch. I offered to bring her one even though we dont have enough gas to make it through the week if I do (figured what the hell I can ask for a ride if it means she wont be passing out at work). Granted people have skipped lunch and been fine. THE MAIN THING WAS THAT I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE NICE AND OFFER, didn't expect her to say yes, I expected her to say no but be happy I offered.
But she didn't say yes or no - she said I dont know.
Which for some reason in the moment infuriated me enough to start saying stupid chit and make an argument out of it. I guess I was already mad because my studio microphone broke, I ran out of protein, and I'm not supposed to lift today but I hate doing cardio.
Well.
What is wrong with me misc? I know I have low testosterone and I take prescribed test for it... could my dose just be off? Can hormones **** with you like that, 'roid rage or something?
Or am I like really holding a grudge against my wife for being overweight?
She says I do this to her almost every week now, I'll ask her something and when she doens't know or can't decide I flip ****.
We dont have any other problems out of the norm... I mean we aren't rich and sometimes things get hard but what I'm saying is I dont want to leave the relationship and I'm happy, I think about or future.... so why am I doing this?
tl;dr i dont have a therapist so im here complaining
tl;dr i pick fights with my wife even though our relationship is solid
tl;dr why

Sounds like you are taking other frustrations out on her. Next time you get irritated with her, try to examine why you are doing it .... and make a conscious effort to avoid doing it. I get irritated easily -- It is just my personality. So, when I interact with people, I have to make an effort to not let that influence how I treat them -- because my irritability is my issue, not theirs. Recognizing when you are doing it as it happens will go a long way toward helping you stop.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

if you cant accept the answer dont ask.
Do things not for a pat on the back but out of caring..... in other words the people around you dont need to validate who you are. If that is the case you better have mind control, cause the only person you are going to "control" is your self. The unpredictable situations that relationships as well as your environment around you have is exactly the only thing you can expect.
Rather than ask your partner if she wanted you to bring lunch, just say "Im coming down to bring you lunch" otherwise you are setting her up for an argument. And as someone else said, if you didnt want to do that than dont offer. Now if she says no need than accept it. I predict that if she said that you will go on a rant about not appreciating you and what you do etc. again the need for validation and a weak ego.
Only you can change bro. Once YOU decide to than everythng around you will follow.I'm open to any suggestions and have a difficult time accepting limitations without an honest effort on my part, you can count on that!
"iCan, iWill, iHave"
There are always choices, no bad ones, no good ones, only "great" ones,
"Oh, great!" :)

Firstly, you need to stop going on that big misc dude. The guys on there are all hate on women for no reason other than they are women and the miscers are insecure. All the talk on the misc about being alpha and not taking chit from what they call sloots is all talk, but can play with a young guy's mind, especially if you have a weak mind and will, which (sorry) you seem to have.
Treat your wife with respect and the love and care she deserves and every time you are ready to rage at her for no reason, think about how it feels for her and how you are hurting the one you supposedly love. Time to man up and stop acting like a teenager.
When you asked if she wanted you to bring her some food, you shouldn't have asked hoping she would say no, that's just playing with her. You should have just said, I WILL bring you some food. You do things for your spouse because you want to and because her happiness gives you pleasure, not so you can get something in return, like getting props for doing things. Like I said, think about her, not you.pick it up and put it down
