I've had many conflicts with my wife for the past many years. We've been married for more than 16 years to date and have 4 wonderful kids.
She is still unable to let go of the past an forgive me for not protecting her early on in our marriage. She had a fight with my aunt whom we were living with who verbally and emotionally abused her. I did not take sides but she felt that I did not do anything to protect her.
I've not been in contact with this aunt but she happen to see a recent email contact with her and actually flew into a violent rage last DEc 2008.
Recently, she has been "confiding" with another our my buddy and even went on a vacation with him without us. She has been talking to him alot and I felt unsafe, jealous and insecure and decided to confront both of them before things go out of hand. She did all of this in secrecy and lied to me that she is talking to him and would laugh and joke. She would be in phone conversations with him and visit him when his wife is not home!!! and would have long chats with him for hours!! I felt really unsafe and is afraid that she may be develop a emotional attachement towards him. I confronted her but instead of addressing the issues she has totally flew into a rage and decided to cut off all relationship with me. She thinks that I'm controlling her and does not want me to interfere in her affairs.
WHat should I do?? She would fly into a rage every time you bring out the topic. Should I just leave her alone and not do anything. I suspect she has MLC and she also has early menopause symptoms that can be unpredictable.
any suggestions and help welcome. thank you in advance.
