10 Hugot Quotes for Frustrated Wives

So you’re totally over the initial wedding high: the excitement of walking down the aisle, exchanging romantic vows in front of all the people you care about, and being carried away to your very own fairy tale by your one and only Prince Charming.

But it’s not all fun and games, and you’ve bitterly—belatedly—realized it now. Suddenly you’re spending more and more nights all alone because he’s always working late, you’re left with all the housework as if you’re the only one who is responsible for it, and you’re missing out on all the fun stuff that everyone is doing because they always assume that you’re happily married—and boring. And maybe you feel that way too. Or, worse, there’s more drama and angst than you know what to do with.

If hearing about how you should be living in marital bliss from your friends, your family, and even your husband makes you feel like this:

We feel you, girl! In fact, here are 10 more hugot wife lines to keep those feels coming.

 

1. Buti pa ‘yung office deadlines, naalala mo. Ako hindi.

So you spent the entire day cleaning the house, taking care of the kids, the whole dutiful wife shebang. Then, you spend the entire night waiting for your husband to come home—because you’re a good wife, right? And he doesn’t. He crawls back home the following morning, all drained and stressed out, and he can’t just help but mumble about deadlines. Yes, work deadlines are apparently more important to him than you.

2. Kilig? Ano ‘yun?

There was a time when you and your husband couldn’t get enough of each other. You’d exchange sweet nothings, wax sentimental about every little thing, and write poetry to each other—because that’s what love does to people. Marriage, on the other hand, seems to have an opposite effect. And who can blame you? You and your husband are too busy for anything.

3. Nag-“I do” na ako. Pwede bang, “I don’t” naman?

There are some days when you just can’t even. There’s work, there are house stuff to worry about, bills, the kids, the husband (who can actually count as a kid himself), and a bazillion other things that need your attention. Wouldn’t it be just glorious if you can just hit a rewind button and start anew?

4. Girls Night Out? Parang college pa ata ako huling na-invite ‘dun.

5. Ang kulit naman kase, hindi nga ako buntis.

So, you’ve succeeded at life for having snagged a husband. Now you’re failing at it because you’re not yet pregnant. What’s with this unfair expectation from society? Can’t a girl just have a break for once? Who says you only got married because you wanted to have kids, anyway?

6. Buti pa si yaya, may salary increase.

Ahh, the perennial woes of the stay-at-home wife. A demanding but routine job every single day, no leaves, no holidays, and worse, no raise. The only work motivation that you have is living in a sparkly clean house every day—but we have to admit, sometimes, that’s not even enough.

7. Wala na akong mabibigay—kinuha mo na lahat, eh.

You gave up your surname, your money, your dreams, a possible life filled with shenanigans, a possible life with somebody else, and he still wants more? What else can you possibly give up?

8. Husband: “Hon, kelangan ko nang—
Wife: “‘Yung kailangan ko, hindi mo tatanungin?”

Wife: “‘Yung tayo, bago pa tayo kinasal.”

Admit it: your glory days are over. Before, you had a mischievous twinkle in your eye and a thirst for adventure, but all of that were sapped out because life got in the way. Now, your world revolves around bills, mortgages, budgeting, and other necessities. You don’t even see your husband as an object of affection—more like an asexual thing that you’re stuck with for the rest of your life.
