Where to start, my wife of 6 years recently found her Faith, and started going to a Southern Baptist Church, to begin with this was ok with me, the finding Faith part especially, now, Im not a religious man, I was raised C.of.E (Christian) and I am spiritual, but lost site of true Faith. Anyway, after a few weeks of going to church I noticed changes in her attitude, her demeanor, the way she talks to me, everything. I told her I had fears about losing her to church, and she reasurred me this was not going to happen, and they re-enforce family values. Yet this rift continued to grow, communication became sporadic at best and always led to arguments, where she just sits there looking/acting 'holyier than thou' and saying this is what she wants now, Faith, church, church friends, etc. I asked her what about her relationship with me? she insisted that nothing had changed, yet her friends, my friends that know her and most of all myself, noticed changes in her, some of them were good, self improvement, stronger will, but then the obsessive parts, the 'you need to come to church with me'. Over the next few weeks this has become unbareable, I cant sleep next to her, I have very negative feelings about her, and myself, I get angry, sometimes verbally abusive statements, I cant control myself, I feel like I have lost her to this church, and it upsets me, makes me feel so hurt, so useless, so angry with her, but mostly with myself, I have tried to talk to her many times on this matter, on how this new part of her scares me and makes me think that this marriage is coming to an end, and all she does is say 'well if that what YOU want, then do it', it always seems as if im on the blame end of this. I wrote somethings down for her today, saying that i still love her deeply and i had no intention of leaving her, but i told her she needed to contribute more financially to this relationship (she doesnt work much, maybe 10-15 hrs a week and the amount she earns per month doesnt even pay off the car payment) so i try to work more hours to earn more money to cover this, but i cant do it alone. It came to a crunch today when yet again we were talking, it started off ok, not good, but ok and went downhill fast, to the point where she told me i mentally abuse her, and she is terrified of me physically do it also ( I have never hit her in 5 years) and we got into such an argument that she stormed out, took a phone and called her 'church friend' and told her to come get her, she was crying and telling me not to talk to her nor touch her, all i asked was for her to come inside and calm down, i even texted her to bring her friend if she was worried about me, but i do not know what i did wrong? I got angry with her refusing to listen to how i feel and she got angry with me but i dont know why. As you can see this is just the surface of my problem and i do need help, emotionally, relationship wise and probably mentally as well.

Yours Celticmasque
