writes: My wife and I have been together for about 8 yrs now. 5 yrs before marrige and 3 after. We have a son 1.5 yrs old. Before marriage my wife was attracted to her best friend who was also in love with her. She admitted that to me and we worked through it. Now several years later she admitted that she is still attracted to him and thinks he would be better for her than me. his circumstances, family etc all favour her. I feel that his circumstances have been created by him and I can see that he manipulates everything to win her over. taking advantage of our fights, etc. How should I make her realise, that I would do anything for her and that I'm better? I have explained to her that this other guy is manipulative, and she agrees, but admits stil feeling the same. help.

All women want a man they can feel secure with, someone who will take charge when nessacary.You may love your wife with all your heart, but to truly win her over you must allow her to own what she is feeling & you need to set boundries with her.I know you love her & don't want to lose her but you must love yourself first.Tell her you will be moving out until she has made up her mind if she wants to be married or NOT.This is a life deal not a layby.The stronger you are in your convictions the more surprised she will be at your strength of character.I know this sounds too hard, but if you can achieve it & stay strong without trying to convince her of anything, the closer she will come to making a decision.The right choice needs to be her's & her's alone.Be Brave, it will work out.
