Hi All! I unfortunately grew up in a very unhealthy household with my dad and stepmom and I saw my mom about 2 times a year growing up. Despite any of that, I am a very calm, kind person. I am not prone to outbursts, anger or yelling. I don’t have any of those issues to deal with thankfully. My problem is I genuinely have no idea how to be a wife to a man. I never saw good examples growing up. My stepmom was a very combative person and my mom is a very emotional and sensitive person (she is also a lesbian and married to a woman of that helps paint the picture). Every example I have of a wife is a very emotionally charged and reactive person. I feel like I am just kind of guessing at what I’m doing based on what I see online or tv??? My husband is a great man, he works hard, loves being a dad and supports me being a stay at home mom. When we argue sometimes I feel like I have no clue where he is coming from. I started to see I just don’t understand men very well and don’t know how to be a good wife. Like I said before I’m not a combative person but just a bit naive about how to a great wife. Any married guys have advice about what makes them a happily married man? Or maybe even divorced guys, what drove you away 😂 Thanks!! submitted by /u/Sad_Pickle_7497
