Married for 4 months only, already hit turbulence

Postby Ironmaniac » Sat May 19, 2018 10:23 am

Hello,



I am married to a beautiful girl for about 4 months. The reason I am writing here is that I feel she has a huge ego that I find very troubling to manage. I am trying and want to make the marriage work.


But often I am left to feel that she doesn't care or have regards for my feelings. I am from India, and this was an arranged marriage. She is a very respectable girl, same age as my age (35years), financially independent. I have been a good husband, but I feel it doesn't matter.


Recently I asked for a photo(decent) of her on whatsapp, I got it only after 12 hours and infinite begging. This phenomenon applies to all fields. I feel humiliated, insulted and very hurt. Sometimes I wish to get back at her. I feel frustrated being a husband who has to literally demand respect. I want it to STOP.

We are married 4 months now....While making love I want to see her, but she will insist on keeping it dark. We only get to be together from 11 pm to 6 am. She will always deny me during the morning....remember its been 4 months. I accepted all of it.

I don't like condoms, but she wants it in condoms only. I mentioned birth control that people generally resort to here. She didn't even care. Its been condoms ever since.

I don't get to know when she leaves work, even after mentioning it subtly that I would like to be told.

There is this "family locator app" (on my parents', sister's and my mobile phone) that all in my family uses, I invited her to join the app and be a part of our family group. She turned the request down citing that its against her values and sense of freedom. And told, if I wanted to know where she was, I can call her as times as I want. I let it go, though felt hurt. [It bothers me being denied by my wife.] And then there has been more than once when she didn't return my calls, when I really needed to talk [reason....she is a teacher and turns her phn silent. And she regularly forgets to switch the ringer back.]

Now she went to visit her parents and brother, and has already been 6 days there. I asked for a photo, and she messaged all BS but the pic. And that stood out in my view as an act of denying me.


I am decent in bed, sex is Ok though not exceptional. I believe she is the faithful type.



Please pour in your thoughts. I need every perspective I can get.

You say this was an arranged marriage. Did she have the freedom to say she didn't want to marry you?

Don't want to hurt your feelings more than they've been hurt already, but a wife who's withholding from day one sounds like a reluctant wife. Perhaps, at 35, she felt pressured to accept this arrangement.

Correct. I have a very strong feeling that she was out of suitable options. And she said 'yes'. Thanks for your sympathy, Candid.

Probably the best thing to do is be a friend to her. Hold back on the sex; she'll wonder why. And perhaps she likes it, and will then come to you asking what's wrong, which is your chance to say you're not using condoms any more.

I think you need to hold back a bit, have some mystery about you. If you become a friend to her, things might swing around your way.
