"As a husband and father these types of actions are unacceptable in a marriage and good family home, and I won't tolerate them."


Yes, be very clear on what behavior is acceptable and unacceptable. This keeps it from being personal or controlling - she has a choice in how she behaves.

During our discussion last night, I saw glimpses of my old W. The one who was loving and caring. Then the manipulating alien would show herself and my compassion would disappear.


That's because she is confused, hurting and unsure of your marriage. On your wedding day this isn't what she imagined either. Being strong and a leader doesn't mean you aren't compassionate and loving. Your wife is watching you very closely right now.

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
