[quote=Anonymous]My wife expects me to intuit what she needs and if I don't give it to her then, according to her, I don't care about her and "don't know how to make a woman feel better." Her mood changes based on a variety to things including whether or not she feels pretty that day.

She has told me; however, that she doesn't want to know about my problems because "real men don't put their problem on their family."

Its hard to accept but the bottom line is that there is a double standard. I've been going through some very difficult times this year myself. My wife's actions actually spurred the cause of the problems and I've been dealing with the aftermath (think legal issues) and I've had to learn to only share positive progress with her.

This may not be every woman; however, I do believe many of them expect men to simply suck it up deal with situations without showing fear/uncertainty/doubt. If we; as men, solve the issue then they are happy. If we mess it up then we get blamed.

OP, you need to find a friend/family member to talk to. Don't rely on your wife.
