Is it normal to be abused by your wife because you are the homemaker?

We have been married almost 6 years now and the last 2 years have been very hard. We have 3 children; 2 boys and a girl. I am a very devoted husband and father, but I do not work at a job. Instead, I work with my 3 kids all day, every day. They are not home schooled, however I supplement at home(math, Chinese, piano, guitar, how to write, read, etc). My kids never leave my side. I sleep with them at night. I cook all meals at home, some fancy, some simple. I clean our house so well that you could literally eat off the floor. I fix anything that breaks in the house including expensive stuff like foundation cracks, making furniture, etc.(I was an engineer before getting married). She barely does anything even for herself. I wait on her hand and foot. I gave up all my relationships with friends and family. No one can count on me, unless they ask her first. I always do something special for my wife on valentines day, Christmas, birthday, without spending HER money(we'll get there). She never gets me anything for any holiday, and I have to remind her of our anniversary. Yet every time I do something she does not approve of she cuts me off. She has in the past taken my bank cards away while I was sleeping, never put me on the house we own together, and I'm not on any of the bank accounts. I have my own account that my MOM puts money in to help pay off a student loan my wife won't help me with anymore cause I didn't want to stay in Taiwan, for 3 weeks sleeping on the hardwood floor. Guess what happened? She stopped my loan and I still had to sleep on the floor for 3 weeks. Is this behavior normal just because I do not work? I feel like I'm on call 24/7. I know what everyone is going to say, leave her. We have 3 of the most wonderful kids in the world and I wouldn't leave them to her abuses. She is definitely not a good wife but she is a good mother.

    What's better for your kids?. Growing up, seeing their father a shamed and broken man. Or going back to work to support these kids yourself.

      I completely agree, however if you did go back to work, she might start having more respect for you. Shit, engineers make good money! But if she don't... time to hit the road with ur kids and don't look back. Make sure u get yourself a good lawyer, because wifey sounds like a bit of a cunt.

    Does she know how you feel?

    And have you suggested couples therapy?

    To answer your question a big fat no! It's not normal. Marriage is a partnership not a dictatorship.Your wife is treating you like a maid or a slave instead of a spouse. You are miserable.Try and talk to her about it. If it gets worse or she won't hear you out, time to leave.Get some friends so you have some support in life.If you do nothing,the situation will get worse and eventually your kids will treat you the way she does or pick someone who treats them the way she treats you.
