Brothersean, Biblically speaking, you are fully justified if you decide to leave your wife and divorce her. Jesus said infidelity and death are the only acceptable reasons for remarriage or divorce. I've been married a year myself. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through...

I find that whatever I'm really "into" my wife starts to grow a dislike for. When we first got married, I would play video games on the computer for no more than 1 hour per day a few times each week--and she started to tell me I was "addicted" to video games and that they were my life. So I...

Those are some good points. Another thing I'd like to add is that, on the whole, it is harder for women to leave their hometown and family. Someone once told me, "You can't pull a woman away from her home." A continuation of that phrase goes, "And if you do, she'll be back one day."

I moved across the country when I married my wife. We only travel back to see my family once per year. So it's kind of out of the question for us to be involved with them in ways other than telephone, emails, etc. My wife and I live a few blocks away from her parents in a small town and we see...

I've been married for 8 months and, ever since, my sleep schedule has been really deficient. Before getting married I had no problems sleeping whatsoever. I would get 8 hours each night and it was almost always without tossing and turning. Now I am lucky if I get 5 or 6, and it's usually...

Whoever controls the money...controls the marriage. When a couple argues over money, it's not about what to buy, how much to spend, etc...it's about who is in control of the situation. I think one reason women tend to manage the money is because women generally need to feel as if they have...

If you're even comparing your husband and your father, that's a problem to begin with. This is a symptom of an immature marriage. It's also a symptom that you probably haven't "cut the apron strings" from your father--since you are expecting your husband to be like him. I mean, if you're...

Good point. Although I know some women have DO have it both ways...and still are unhappy, ironically.

Thanks, MikeK. By the way, I like your signature. Rush is the greatest rock band of all time!

I can choose one of the following: 1) Take more of a "manly" role in the relationship...but deal with an EXTREME amount of fighting and possibly a divorce, or... 2) Let her make all the decisions and have a relatively calm marriage. Trust me, I've been married to her long enough to realize...

I've made attempts to make new friends--especially in the beginning months. But she wasn't supportive about the idea. Unless I'm hanging out with one of her immediate family members, she seems to not want me being around other people when she's not there. I tried joining a fitness center...

Maybe it would be a little easier "not relying on her for my happiness" if I had some OTHER forms of support where I live, but as I said, I moved and gave up EVERYTHING. I don't know anybody here. Sure, if I lived in my original hometown, I would be fine during times like this. I know I...

I'm still a "newlywed" and everyone expects my wife and I to be floating on air, glowing, and happy as can be. The truth is that our marriage might be falling apart, and I am falling into a depression. (However, I'm not sure which came first.) I gave up everything I had for my wife. I moved...

Men seem to be selfish because we are more independent. The key word is "seem". My wife, for example, will ask me to do a lot of things for even--even trivial things. She'll ask me to put a meal in the microwave for her so that it's ready when she gets home; she'll ask me to get the TV remote...

That's what my wife and I do. This weekend, for example, we just decided on the spot that we wanted to travel 2 hours and camp out over night near a beach campground. It was fun. I think most vacations are a waste of money, honestly. That's why I like frequent small ones.

(Deleted.)

My wife and I fight pretty often. We are both independent, strong-willed people. I feel that our marriage is an endless power struggle. My wife is the kind of woman who can never lose an argument. So I either have to not care or let her win.
