Dealing with a spouse who won't listen?

Same here.

Get counseling. Immediately. Urgently. It's already WAY overdue.

FWIW this sounds like two young, selfish children got married and now don't want to learn to grow up and act married.

It's going to take a lot more than complaining on the internet to fix this relationship. You need to bring in a professional, objective, third party IMO. And fast.

Definitely young marrieds was my take, that being said it takes a lot of time for some to learn these things.

I still think the responders should watch that they don't put him down. People just don't respond well to that and I think he did a good job not being mean back. No need to change user name though, we are all anonymus anyway. I think that for a man in his 20s he is doing good to be coming hers for input. I agree it takes some maturity to really be willing to look at our own faults.. not through rose colored glasses.

I found it a little ironic that the OP complained about his wife not listening, but he didn't listen to anyone giving him godly advice here. I guess people expect more from others than they do of themselves.

For some people they will always be like that. For others they will change. I known when I was coming here in my 20s and in the "pity me" phase I only came to find people that would agree with me and tell me what I wanted to hear. I ignored all the actual good advice.

Thank goodness I am out of that phase or I'd be married to Godzilla. No wait thats unfair, Godzilla is friendlier than the woman I was with at the time.

I've actually been member here in my 20s in my last marriage and same way.
