A female , *ittyK695 writes:

Thank you for taking the time to read this....I have a big problem, you see I got married young at age 19 to a loving 26 year old man.

Our relationship seems like it's going down the drain emotionally. My husband respects me and treats me like a queen. He takes good care of me and makes sure I'm OK, but it seems like I'm the man in this relationship.

I have to tell him what to do how to do and when to do it. Sometimes I feel like I boss him around and treat him like a child but sometimes he acts like a child.

He doesn't want to plan for the future; all he does is watch T.V and play video games. I have no problem with the video games but I feel like that's all he wants to do. This man is so loving and honest and he's always there for me emotionally, but I just feel like he's not putting his all into this marriage to work.

I'm always arguing with him about the way he acts and sometimes it gets extremely physical where I start to hit him.

My sister thinks I don't respect him and I treat him like a child, while my mother - who we live with for the time being - thinks he acts like a child.

Recently we got into a argument about porno which he had this discussion before. He can't stop looking at it and I got really mad and hurt because I have talked to him about this already, that it disrespects me, but he went behind my back and started watching them.

I really appreciate him coming forward and telling me, but the fact that you watched after I told you it hurts me when you do it. It really kills me. Please I need some help.

willywombat agony auntStop nagging him then!

Nobody MAKES you nag him.

When you feel a nag come on ignore it and go do something else, when it passes ask him to help you as an equal, not like a mum and a kid.

Just stop it!

Maybe your nagging is making him turn to porn and other things like games? I mean, what did you two do before you two got married?
