writes:Why has my wife turned so bitchy, and what can I do about it?My wife has always had a strong temper and did not hold back if she was REALLY mad. However, she was easy going most of the time.Now, in the last 6 months or so, she is mad all the time - and often at me. If things don't go exactly to plan of how she envisioned something g in her mind, she becomes a bitch on wheels. Anything from getting stuck at too many red lights in a row, to one of her shows accidentally getting erased from the VCR. And anything I do, she is extremely critical of. Just yesterday, after a 9 hour work day, I cam home and fixed a dripping faucet. It took me over an hour. She wen to the movies. When she came back, instead of saying thanks that's great, she asked whether I didn't fix the other leKy faucet at the same time. She just nit picks everything I doI love my wife. We have been married a long time. But I can't live like this. I need some plans or tools to redirect or change her demeanorDoes anyone know why this happens to 40 something year old women? Is it because they have been controlling every aspect about their kids, that they get used to acting in a controlling way? I see husbands caving to this crap all over the place, but I am not one to abide by this. Any thoughts of why this happens, and constructive ways I can I prove the situation - other than throwing down my firetruck and leaving the sandbox? Reply to this Question

when you first met your wife you may have held her hand kissed every time you seen her looked at her like you wanted her and had sex whenever you could.. now she rarly gets a glimps of that man so she has a inner anger for you and it comes out for any little thing that is annoying to her., because she cant tell you the real reason is she is emotionally and sexually deprived from you..

What i've found that works a bit for me, is i split out for the weekend every now and then. Me and my bud go fishin and get shit faced at the lake. No woman around to tell me when to eat, sleep, shit or otherwise. I made it a rule that she not call me while i am out doing my "man" things unless it's an emergency or i will turn the phone off. The other thing i learned that shuts a bitchy woman up is gettin down there and handling your "man biz" if you know what i mean. You gotta make sure shes getting hers on a regular basis. Try to remember when you guys first got together. How you used to nibble on her neck, kiss her with passion, look into her eyes. Take her to special places and "talk" yah.. i know... where pros at this right? LOL anyways... make a point of talking to her EVERYDAY as well... spend 15 minutes talking about the day before hittin sports channel. Also, while having conversations with her, when she gets critical, snappy, sarcastic... just go with it and 9 times out of 10 she'll just mellow.
But yah man, anyways... good luck with that shit....

Does old granny get it in the neck...or the local shopkeeper...i bet not! SO WHY SHOULD YOU?
I think excuses should not be made for bad attitude...i saw this in hospitals alot...A special license to have a sxxx attitude simply because one is poorly/ old/ etc...all excuses we have choice to be nice or not quite simple in my mind. Tell her to fix it herself and YOU go for a beer.

 I like your last statement. Take her out to coffee and ask her what's wrong. She may have issues and thinks you don't care if you don't talk with her about it. Approach her in a calm sweet manner when it's just the two of you. You'll never know if you don't simply ask and you both will be miserable trying to figure each other out. Talk to her, Buddy. Also find a nice card that lets her know you care (she can read that over and over) Good luck and I hope it all works out lovely for you both. =)
