    Listening ear,trust,appreciation and Making her feel Important…
    I guess I Hav most of it in practice. But I would consciously make an effort to make these things come to me naturally and that I practice these on regular basis.

    True!
    However, due to cloud of misunderstanding it got buried beneath and what was popping up in the mind is the bullshit stories.

          Hey Great Question.
          You generally don’t offer solution except when she asks you. And in case if you still want to offer then ask her permission. This gives are feeling that you are treating her as an intelligent human being who has the capacity to make her own decisions.

    I have failed miserably by not doing majority of the below things
    I was good in the below points
    Listening ear –
    Trusting
    Involving her in decision making

    Horrible in the below points n I will change them immediately
    You being trustworthy – late majority of the time
    Appreciation – missed out on appreciating her

    I am bad in maintaining trust in my marriage. I understood that women wants a listening ear -a person only need to listen to her until she is stressed out. A trust worthy person also he needs to trust her every sort of life. A man who appreciates her and cuddle her like a father and give importance to her.

    Often we think appreciating may not be necessary all the time. But this insight shows it is very much needed every time.
    Sometime the wife may not like too much care so i dont disturb her. But now i will try to be more caring during any need that i can observe. Hopefully i can achieve this. I now remember i have done that during our love journey many times. Somewhere i lost track due to career or focusing too much on problems.

    Yes the trust issue was definitely there because every time I check my phone she is suspicious and ask who am I chatting with.Many times she tried to check my phone but it was locked.She even suggested that we keep out phones unlocked but i didnt agree even though I had nothing to hide and it didnt make sense as she had more than one phone hidden away.

    I believe I involved her every decision of my life.
    No issues with she trusting me…no inspections etc.
    Always listen to her when she was in stress even i stopped her from taking any medication and speak to me.
    Appreciation is an area where I am lacking as I am not that outspoken so will definitely like to improve this.

    I have always tried to listen to her anxieties and even helped her get over those to fix her families issues both financially as well as by putting physical efforts and I did it with good intensions, but seems like nothing can make them happy and they always kept on playing their victim card and kept poisoning my wife’s mind about my parents and about all our internal matters. We started our career together, then fell in love and got married very early due to her family’s weird issues by both of us taking heavy personal loans, I switched jobs to increase my salary to bring stability. I always kept her involved in each and every steps that we took in life and been 100% transparent to her. Yes I feel that I lack the way she wants me to appreciate her for being there. Since our marriage I have always focused on working hard, giving her the sense of stability in life which she could never get from her family, but may be trying to do so I became the man who lost his charm and forgot the way I used to love my wife initially.

      This realization could be the start in working towards an awesome marriage.
      One needs to rise above the Power Struggle Stage mindset that makes us keep believing that we have done a lot for the relationship or that we are the victim.
      All the best!

    Many good insights VAL, I can find in this blog. . Many a time, as you had said, I took it for granted that she need not be informed about many things which I am dealing in life just for the reason that I had assumed that she does not have knowledge in some spheres / walks of life. That really proved to be wrong as she is as intelligent and in fact, more intelligent than me in many aspects. I have avowed that I shall not conceal / hide anything from her and also understanding as to what she wants exactly from me. rather being a stereo type of man..

    I am being honest here, I did these 3 things, I listened to her, I appreciated her, I involved her in every decision, very diligently. The trust was there in the relationship and by trust I mean financial stability trust, she knows it very well that I will never look at other woman forget about having an affair but she stopped trusting me after my financial situation slipped down during and after the pandemic, she started having doubts that our future will be dark and poor. I tried my level best to win that trust back but couldn’t. I need to win that trust back.

      I understand exactly what you are feeling.

      I also appreciate you for your determination to win her trust back.

      Sometimes our relationship might appear great but then when the stress gets in the enemies of marriage: criticism defensiveness get in.

      All the best to you. With the right mindset and learning you will bring back love into your marriage.

    Sir,
    As mentioned, wife wants to be trusted, a bit appreciated, and listening her by playing different role like, a good friend, brother some times father too.
    I think Wife needs to spend quality time with Husbands..
    For all these points I need to work upon.. Need your guidance .
