How to Deal With an Egoist Wife?

                                   Does your wife have a dominating nature and makes her own decisions without knowing your opinion?
Do you feel sidelined around your wife?
Of course you do, when all she does is exaggerate each and every quality that she has or does not have! Her attitude may have attracted you towards her during courtship, but, it may have become worse than you could imagine, being married.
  • When you communicate with her, agree with her point of view.
  • Do not act weak in front of her just to make her happy.
  • Be very courteous in your behavior even when provoked.
  • Remember, argument or submission never got anyone, anywhere. You don't need to agree with every word she blurts out unless you genuinely think she is right. Make your point if you disagree. Don't start a fight though and maintain a dignified demeanor.
  • Start listening to her more. Keep quiet and don't interrupt her. She will probably go on nagging you to blow off her steam. But, soon she will be calmer when she sees you listening. Try to work out the issues she has with you, not out of an obligation but to work your relationship and make it better.
  • Understand that she is only looking for some words of appreciation to recognize her efforts.
  • When she starts tooting her horn, tell her you know how hard she works to do what she is talking about and you think it is absolutely admirable. But, don't do it every single time or she will say it more.
  • If all else fails, give your egoist wife a taste of her own medicine.
No matter what, don't ever let her feel like she can easily put you down. She will lose respect for you. I am not asking you to be a jerk towards her. But, you need her to know that you are not weaker. Is she being an egoist because you are not appreciating her enough? If that's the case, let her know how special she is, as often as you can. Ultimately, she is human too, not a monster like in your head. .
