If this is a crime, then a lot of us need to be locked up. Sometimes you just need to complain. You don't know if anything is going to get better, but you need to air it out. This is a great thing to do with your friends and loved ones. But what happens when you continually make something someone else's problem when you're unwilling to contribute?

The wife was not happy with their position and situation in life, and had a lot to say to her husband.
