Married to a controlling wife

[25yearsmlc]

I suggest avoidance of biblical quotes at this point. They'll look self-serving and besides, using that parental voice just forces the WAS to defend their choices instead of looking at them and that parental voice of the LBSer, can shut down the WAS's inner voice....also found it notable that when you saw your neighbor you "of course" brought up your wife's behavior/Family svcs involvement and marrriage and said it takes two to fail, etc and you see nothing inapproprate or disloyal or Blaming on your side of things.

To be sure, unless you are a crazy liar and I doubt that, your wife IS too controlling...I get that. But I also get the feeling you are leaving a whole LOT out about your own stuff and even what you do say, reveals an amazing lack of awareness about how Your own behavior appears. Same with the repeated behavior that goes against ALL the posts you get, I have to ask, are you getting help for YOU and whatever baggage you have that is Separate from your wife? Your suicide attempt is a lot to hold Her responsible for don't you think? If she is that toxic and there is Nothing YOU can do, then get out for everyone's sake. But like I said, I feel like some pieces of the puzzle are missing and that you have them inside, somewhere. trust that God knows your dark side and loves you anyway....So it's safe to look within and find your own demons-we ALL have them and ONLY WE can deal with them, with God's help...this is simply not all about her.
