Some really good responses to your post, 62ford. I have been married and divorced twice now in my 51 years, so I am only an expert at being unsuccessful at maintaining a long-term relationship. Having said that, I will say this: if one partner of the twosome begins dictating to the other partner then the partnership is in serious trouble. The times I was happiest in my marriages were when we were equal partners. My two cents for you is to determine whet you want from your marriage and, like others have already suggested, communicate the hell out of your needs and expectations. Expect to listen and be receptive to what your wife's expectations are, too. In the end, it takes two to make a marriage work and you have some serious decisions to make. It's probably a good thing there are no children yet, either. Best of luck to you.
