Ross

I believe the answer is:

whinge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'irritating complaint' is the definition.
'whinge' can be an answer for 'complaint' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'irritating' bit.

'wife a turning point' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'a turning point' becomes 'hinge' (I've seen this in another clue).
'w'+'hinge'='WHINGE'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for whinge that I've seen before include "Complain annoyingly" , "Grumble or complain persistently" , "Complain, whine" , "protest?" , "Complain fretfully" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
