Sounds like your wife has no respect for you & maybe you haven't given her anything to respect. Marriage is not based on love alone or just because you don't want to live alone. It's based on having a good relationship together & working together for the best possible family environment. Sounds like maybe you don't know what goes into making a good marriage & maybe BOTH of you need some good counseling go get your acts together in the marriage & make it a REAL marriage.

Hi--very astute reader! I should qualify my original post and say I do discipline my own child: I yell at her for lying, chide her for not doing homework, scold her for eating candy, tell her point blank when shes dressed inappropraitely, etc etc. My wife is more on top of things but shes also over the top. For those same offenses she has physically thrown my daughter out if the apartment, ripped off a tshirt she was wearing, called her at separate times a *****, *****, ****, little ****, piece of ****, ****, ****ing ****, little ****ing ****. Shes threatened to smash her teeth out several times, smash her teeth down her throat a few times. Until I demaded she stop she has slapped, punched, kicked and pinched my daughter. She often threatened to send her away to a locked mental ward. So yes, I discipline my child, my wife disciplines my child but when my wife does it, it looks pretty abusive. And yes, she takes care of everyone and shes very functional but I have stopped her from such harsh discipline.
