In the last few weeks since you first posted here? that was the whole reason for your first thread. You said she let him do whatever he wanted.

Yeah, her disciplinary attitude has not changed. She's just playing the same old games. She does it to both of you. She lashes out when things don't go her way or she feels threatened.

I wondered the same thing.

No, I don't use half sentences, there's a difference between typing your thoughts and voicing them.

Yes, you do, and it's sad you don't recognize them.

Hi OP,

I stopped reading this thread at about page 17 so sorry if this might have been said already. Your relationship with your wife sounds like my brother's relationship with his wife, and they are in the middle of getting divorced, and we have decided that his wife is a narcissist. Hopefully your situation is not the same, but it might be worth checking into if you haven't already.

I type shorter sentences than I voice. It takes much more time to type a thought than voice it so, my responses on here are shorter than a response I would give in a spoken conversation.

That makes sense Irish. I wouldn't let this concern you and not sure why an issue has been made of it. Talking/typing on an internet forum or any type of media is going to be different than real life conversation.

I have a question for you. How does your wife interact with family and friends? Is she the same spoiled princess as she is with you? Do you have siblings? How do they feel about her?

Keep telling yourself that.

She's really nice to her friends and family and we see them often. She isn't who she is around me that she is around other people. I have an older sister and she and my wife get along fine. When she's around them she's the old her.
