Problem with a disobedient wife, spirituality what, oh what can I do?

Are you for real?? Scumbag.

Well, my suggestion is quite drastic, but in the situation you describe I think it is fully justified.

I suggest that you will have to shame the woman into compliance. You could start with some large billboards in your city. If that doesn't work immediately, then I suggest a Twitter campaign to go internaional. Once your case starts trending, as it surely must, and the Twitterati support you, I am sure she will see sense.

Until then, Sir, you have my sympathy and I am astonished that some of the people who have replied here do not understand your sincere plight.

Clearly, evolution follows many paths...

First, you don't sound spiritual at all. You sound hateful. Mad. Angry.

Second, mint? Really. That makes you angry! It sounds like anger is the problem - YOURS.

Third, Wife losing weight? Most do use the excuse of just having had a baby to keep the weight on. A woman recently questioned 10,000 men: 5,000 religious, and 5,000 not. about 92% all had the same response. They married a hot blonde. They want the hot blonde back and for her to stop stuffing in the Twinkies. Only way to motivate your wife is to motivate her with love. You are definitely not alone in feeling like this - MOST men do, but do not verbalize it. The researcher found most men to be very angry at how fat their wives had become - regardless of the wife's excuses of how she go that way. Remember, she married a kind, loving man. Maybe she is repulsed by the lazy, angry, manipulative one she ended up with? If works both ways!

Fourth, command? Most people respond to kindness and leadership, not demands. Mints wont throw you off a diet. No body can be forced to lose weight. She has to want to. Just by yelling at her about it, makes her nervous and wants to eat all the more. You are defeating yourself by your own attitude toward her.

Women need to talk things out with each other. By cutting her off from her mother you are causing the gap between you and her to widen. You admit you'd leave her if it weren't for the money. You call her mother an old boot - remember when you married your wife, she became YOUR mother also. This is how you respect your mother?

You don't work. I've worked very hard all my life, at jobs I hated, for people I did not respect, in order to provide for my wife and children. What type of lazy no good are you who can't get yourself out of in front of the tv to support your wife. No woman wants a jelly fish for a husband (no back bone).

My advice:

1. Get off your lazy butt and find a job OF ANY KIND, and support your wife like you should.
2. Stop being selfish and manipulative and greedy. Love her and be kind to her.
3. Start respecting your mother-in-law. Win her over, and you'll see things turn around for you and your wife.
4. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You have noone to blame for the situation but YOU. Get off your but, be a man, and take some responsibility in life. You'll feel better about yourself and she will feel better about you also.

You sound like a troll... If you're not, you're the most narrow-minded, bigoted arsehole in the history of arseholes. It's sad that there's people in the world like this today, even if you are a troll.

If you're not a troll, you are ignorant. Like seriously, get your head out of your ass ignorant. I've never known such ignorance. I'm blown away by your ignorance!

Get a life, you low-life scum. She should divorce you after kicking your head in... I know I would.
