Why do you feel like your wife hates you?

Answer 1

While I can't know the individual situation or your history, here are some possible reasons why. Men very often forget that women have a great need to communicate in a marriage, and even general chat about your day etc can be of interest and importance to them. Sometimes married couples can fall into the routine of not talking much anymore and becoming strangers to each other. Wives may make attempts to reopen the lines of communication, but be rebuffed or the signals aren't picked up by the guy...it easy for the woman to become resentful or assume they are not important in your life. Have a think about how much you may or may not have expressed appreciation or interest in your wife in recent times...apart from in the physical sense.

Could there be some past hurt in the relationship that hasn't been resolved properly? Refusal to deal with developing or present problems or acting as if they don't exist can make the other person resentful. Maybe there are bad habits that would not be too much trouble to change but which would mean a lot to your wife.

Try treating your wife as someone really special - which she is - much as you may have done in the early times together. She may well be suspicious at first...maybe that will pave the way for a discussion of the problem. There may be a good deal of anger to be expressed first before you can move forward, so don't be surprised.
