I dont really want to disagree but I think I orefer barrybrans solution.. there are no right or wrong answers and its not that I dont appreciate your input mrbond its just that im not capable of doing that. Im sorry.
1wish, I suggested what I did because you need to find out what your flaws are so you can start working on them. Not what you think they are but what she thinks they are. At the end of the day, if you are to get anywhere, you will have to stand up for yourself. I understand where you're coming from though as it's new, it's scary and it does take a lot of courage to stand up to someone like your wife. Once you are loving and living for yourself, you can not tolerate disrespectful behaviour from anyone, not just your wife.
Really listen to MrBond and 25. They've been around a long time and both have restored their marriages. All I can help with right now is the "new, scary feelings" because it's very fresh in my mind. These are the people you will need to listen to when you get down to the nuts and bolts of who 1wish is and wants to be.
