[quote=Anonymous]Wow, sometimes it feels that we are alone when we go through this. I am a 39 year old dad and husband. I love my wife. I adore my children. I googled how to deal with a bitter wife and i got this page.  My wife of 15 years seems to be lately always either depressed or bitter towards me. We have read through Chapman's book, "The 5 Love languages" twice. We identified each others love language.  However, she still rejects my love language because she thinks it's silly. She is intellectually minded first and emotional second. She thinks of logical solutions for common sense problems.  I am the sole bread winner of the house as she maintains the order of the house. I try not to bring that up. Sometimes during an argument it does. After working and being away from home 10 hours a day, i come home and try to help out by doing dishes, cooking dinner, taking out trash, getting the kids ready for bed, asking her if she needs anything. She says I don't do enough.  She does the laundry and asks me why I didn't fold clothes. I try not to argue because it just makes things worse, and like you, she gets worse.  Lately, she has been more bitter towards me and I finally  got her to open up with why. She said its because i am absent minded and forget alot of things.  We are remodeling our home and finishing up the kitchen. We finished the floor and I was putting back the stove, dish washer and plugging it all up. I was able to reinstall the DW and run two loads of dishes. I get a call at work the next day annd she asked if i turned the gas on to the stove.  I replied, I believe so. I know we plugged into the wall for electric, (my son helped) and tightened down the gas line. I guess i forgot to turn on the gas from the valve. Well, that did it. Even though I worked to get the kitchen clean and put things back, all that was forgot because I forgot to turn on the valve when all she had to do was pull out the oven, turn the valve on and replace oven. HELP! (oh yeah, no sex life either) She doesn't sleep well and is not a morning person. 
I feel your pain, brother. Now, I try to maintain the relationship and figure a way to heal. Prayer helps but she needs it too. Try to talk with her about her bitterness and she either clams up or gets more angry and compares life. Any suggestions?[/quote]
