Oh yes, eventually my hubby started to think I was "stupid" too. And he let me know this, by calling me "idiot" and "stupid" and acting like I was stupid and a moron.
You wife is not of lesser intelligence. Maybe she has less book smarts but I bet her IQ would test close to yours.

Well she can't be too unintelligent b/c she was smart enough to know that marriage wasn't healthy and needed changing b4 you did.

See the dynamic? I am sure you have been unenlightened to all this. Use your insight here. You have trouble loving her b/c you do not respect her. She knows this. Stop having negative thoughts about her and work on finding things you do like with her. Also, have time together alone to form new positive memories for the both or you.

I am glad to see that you are committed to change. Change takes lots of work. I know you are up to it smile
