[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave her be.  Sounds like she doesn’t care to have a deep bond with your family and they make her uncomfortable (could be nothing personal against them).  That should be ok.  No one is doing anything “wrong” and she shouldn’t have to go to therapy to make better small talk with your family. Just let it be.  Visit them without her or accept she isn’t social and let her interact on whatever level she feels comfortable doing.  I really don’t get why this bothers you so much.  It sounds like she has always been this way.  It isn’t as if she and your mom were BFFs and went shopping together every weekend and now won’t speak to her.  You do sound a subpar husband, by the way.  [/quote]

It’s not just for me and my family, it will benefit her in the long run. She hasn’t been successful in her career either (constantly passed over for promotions) because of her personality. She’s letting her behavior hold her back in life.[/quote]

OP, you need to recognize that your wife is an adult who can make her own decisions. I do not understand how you would even know that she is "constantly passed over for promotions because of her personality." If your wife wants to stay at home and work at the same job and not get promoted, that is actually fine if that is what she wants. You don't know what's best for her. Can you even hear how patronizing and condescending you sound?[/quote]

She said it herself that she wants a promotion, she’s even spoken with her supervisor about it and was told that she has to work on speaking up more before she can be considered in a leadership role. You’re right, only she knows what’s best for her. I just want to help as her husband not patronize her.[/quote]
