I am married just over a year with an extreamly immature and talkative wife. We dated for 6 months and got married, but she started complaining in almost everything just after marriage.
I live with my parents since they are old and I am their only son. My mom is a gem of a person, she does all the house work, even at the age of 60, so that her daughter-in-law can enjoy life. She waits starving even till 1:00 AM at night if my wife is late from work. We as a family tried to our best to fulfill my wife's demands and most of her demands are fulfilled. But when it comes to take even tiniest of responsibilities my wifhe refuses, though she claims that she takes good care of us. She is usually soft spoken but when in fight she forgets to draw lines. Sometime she speaks so harsh that we all get offended. Initially I thought that selfishness drives her, but later understood that it is her immaturity and her upbringing.
I tried to counsel her number of times but she refuses to listen to me.
I know she loves me a lot and I do the same to her but regular fight on petty things is taking all my energy. I wonder how to make her understand that she needs to grow-up

Why don't you two do some counseling so you can communicate and find out what is really going on.
I'm sure she my love you, and what you do for your mom is great, but maybe the marriage and living with your mom is not what she bargained for. Does not mean she is immature but is finding the adjustment difficult.
Maybe if you stop counseling her and actually communicate with her, it could make a difference.
Get some counseling.

My husband and I have been married almost two years. We have been through so much we have 2 kids one is outs and one is mine by another guy before my husband. When we fight we blow up. I try to tell him how I feel and he shuts down. He will go to bed and wake up as if nothing happened! He assumes sex or sleepsles everything ok. While I still hurt...what do I do?
Sorry that went to the wrong thing! My phone must of went back...
