#6 She Is Manipulative and Controlling

In order to manipulate someone or something, people often use their emotions. If your wife despises or disrespects you, she might become overbearing.

It could be a tactic used by your wife to try to exert control if she purposefully assigns blame to you or suggests that you ought to feel guilty or ashamed for your actions. This is also called “gaslighting.”

Playing the victim and being passive-aggressive are two other ways a lady can use to dominate her husband. These are expressions of contempt rather than love.

Keep in mind that it is never too late to leave a toxic relationship or marriage. If you feel that you cannot connect with your wife anymore or that she is not treating you right, you can leave anytime. We know that this might be a hard decision to make, but staying in an unhealthy marriage is never a good option.

A marriage will occasionally have conflicts, but with some effort and communication, most problems can be solved. There are strategies to help you rekindle your connection with your spouse, even if it has deteriorated. 

To handle the difficulties of daily life, however, you may need professional assistance if your spouse becomes bitter. Don’t disregard your wife’s emotions in the hopes that they will simply go.

    This is very common issue among most couples. No one knows the real reasons why this happens and is never good to any couple. Divorce rate skyrocketting because couple do not compromise anymore. No more discussion to bring up issues. Sad because this is the most important time of their marriage lives! What to do is a matter of individual task.

      What about being married to someone who always put the blame on you ,get his family involved when there’s an argument between us he’ll called the family and let them listening he stay silent and they only hear your voice but not his .so obviously you’re the bad person in this marriage, families start taking his side and he always its you not me…that’s why my families don’t talk to you and he put a barrier between. How can you continue with this ,soon you start having hatred towards your spouse, the relationship will soon goes downhill.

    Well that sucks that the wife hates ya but just maybe you hate and despise her also and if thats the case then you should get the hell out no one says you have to be togather and even if you still think shes the one and you love her you cant have her hating you so move on to another lady that wants you and tell her later babe go find what your looking for.

    You are spot on with everything that you have said except that it’s the other way around, I’m the wife feeling like this and its him the husband that could care less, but ah…. Except when the narcissist wants me ( the) wife to get something and he’s not going to come out and ask for it so he manipulates me into some sort, somehow, I tend to find myself focusing on him doing more chores are pulling more weight in the Marriage and THATS Just Not So… And So I’ve Been Turning Back To My Faith In Christ Jesus and My Eyes 👀 Are Truly Open And He would get in his Bible just enough for me to think 🧐 he was and is trying to be this Man of God! So here We Are?? I’m Not Touching That with A 10ft. Pole-Matthew 7:1 I Love ❤️ Love Your Article it was Spot On I wished you Accepted Insurance I’m 65 on MARCH 20, the Lords been Good Me! I’ve been diagnosed PTSD, Bipolar, etc…. But I say Tri-Polar -Father -Son-Holy Spirit-Amen, I have been Seeing and becoming aware of my behaviors and starting to change because of Prayer 🙏🏽 and Jesus Christ in my Heart ❤️ I always felt it was Him, funny 😄 I’m finding out that a lot of the things were me! 🤩 wow !

    Of course I hated him…he was mean to me..cruel and uncaring to our children..wouldn’t pay any bills or support us. Didn’t care if we had groceries. It got really sweet around here when I divorced him…he did not act this way before I married him..
