Husband's Anger Builds as Arguments Mount
Dear Abby | January 23rd, 2026 | Letter 3 of 3
DEAR ABBY: Every time I tell my wife something, she questions it, doubts it or disagrees. I could walk inside soaking wet and say, It's raining, and she'd still check her phone's weather app. We went to counseling years ago, but the counselor focused mainly on my communication problems, not so much on hers, which made her behavior worse. I have reached my breaking point. I no longer want to talk to my wife because I know she'll question whatever I say. Each time it happens, I feel myself getting angrier. One day, I may snap and tell her exactly how I feel about her behavior. -- KEEP IT TO MYSELF.
DEAR KEEP: One day you will tell her? How about getting it off your chest right now? Swallowing your anger has only allowed this problem to fester. Tell your wife you have reached your breaking point, that you both need more counseling from a different therapist. If she refuses, consult one for yourself, starting now.
