Marital games

I do not consider between A. You enable her to leave the house three or more times a week while she is critical of you for asking for a morsel of time for yourself. This certainly doesn't sound fair.

I don't know your wife and I don't know how she perceives the same situation. However, what I do understand is that you feel victimized by her and powerless in your ability to communicate your needs.

You believe that what you're asking for is legitimate and you just don't seem to understand why she can't get it. The Game If your wife is truly a nasty, ungrateful and selfish woman, then the only advice I can offer you is either accept it or try to convince her to get help either with you or on her own. However, I'm going to assume a different reality, one that is based on nearly 30 years as a marital therapist. This reality is the following: Your wife and you are caught in the common marital game called "Who is the Biggest Victim?

The interesting thing about this game is that there are three losers: you, your wife and the marriage. The only way to end a game is to know when you're in one. You think that you've lost because your wife gets to do what she wants and you don't. Your wife loses because she's convinced that you don't care about her or the family and the marriage loses because the end result of this game is "two days worth of arguing. Here are the signs: It's repetitive, the players feel awful and nothing gets resolved.

However one thing may change -- the roles. Sometimes the husband is the victim and the wife is the persecutor, and sometimes they switch and the husband becomes the finger pointer while the wife desperately attempts to defend herself.

One thing never changes -- everyone feels miserable. So here's my advice: 1. Recognize that you're in a repetitive pattern called a game and that as long as you choose to play neither of you will ever get what you need. Don't fight, argue or complain to your wife about your lack of time for yourself.

Tell her that you want her help in finding a few hours a week for yourself. If she wants to understand why you need it, explain your reasons in a non-defensive manner.

Tell her that you want to find a time that won't interfere with family plans. If you approach her in a spirit of cooperation, she'll be more receptive. Then one evening she actually approaches him and kisses him. His first tentative advances are not repulsed. He becomes bolder and bolder. All men are beasts, all I wanted was affection, but all you are interested in is sex!
