I hate to throw in an entirely new vector, but is it possible she is having an affair?
I had a friend with a wife that just railed at him as he did everything he could do. He gave and gave and gave as she demanded more and more. He could never please her. I watched as his health start downhill. There was simply no way he could keep up the pace. She hounded him continuously via his cell phone - even when we were in the middle of business meetings. A couple of months later, he found out that his wife was doing his best friend all along.
I don't mean to upset you, and I hope I am wrong. It just seems very odd to me when I see or hear about extreme cases of inequity in a relationship. In almost every relationship I have seen it in, there was a third party in the mix.
No, not all of my friends are disfunctional :-)
Best of luck, -NOPkins-
I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
