How do I get along with my wife?
I try really hard to stay in my lane, not to upset her, disagree with her and go along when I can; what we do, where we go, what we eat etc.
She has a fragile ego. Her self-image is threatened she needs to make herself look bigger or smarter, so she blames others. It’s a coping mechanism to deal with insecurity. The worst thing I can do is challenge her in any way.
“I’m absolutely right” generally translates as “you’re absolutely wrong.” Her insistence on her right is exhausting, prone to long monologues about her virtue and victimhood. Dare to raise the slightest challenge to her interpretation and she starts the monologue over from the beginning.
She rejects apologies by saying you don’t really mean it or you’re just trying to shut me up when in fact I’m sincere.
We can’t talk about politics at all. She can’t see how anyone else could possibly come to a different opinion than her without it being wrong or not smart.
She makes judgements about other people and is critical. She can’t understand why they don’t see it the same way as she does.
Lately we haven’t been having sex as she is upset every day at something. Not sure if this is a symptom of us not getting along or not having sex is why we’re not getting along.
Like to hear a woman’s point of view please.
