I thank you all for your input. I have been reading a little in books I got at the library on domestic violence and have really had my eyes opened alot. WOW! I can already say I can appreciate more where she is coming from. I have posted here and another web site forum. The idea has been shared with me to be gentle, kind, loving and supportive yet not to try to become her fixer or savior. This was on the other forum and I responded there but can any of you relate to this and explain it to me? I have encouraged her to seek professional counseling as I am not a counselor. I will always be there to listen and be supportive, but I want to be her husband not her counselor. Can you share anything on this thought to help me better understand?
Thanks again
