Dear Question Asker,
Withdrawing until you have no clear position is an attempt to maintain the family, not to lose her, and to continue living with her. I can sense that you love your wife very much and are willing to suffer for her.
It is unavoidable that couples will argue. It is inevitable that there will be conflicts in life. The key to a long-lasting relationship is mutual respect. It is important to demonstrate tolerance for your wife. It is essential to be able to show her that you have always loved her and that you want to grow old with her.
It is not uncommon for women to fantasize about marriage as a romantic ideal, where they and their partner are the sole focus, without the influence of family or children. However, in reality, marriage often involves navigating the needs and expectations of extended family and friends, which can sometimes result in feelings of being overlooked or ignored. It is important to recognize that your wife's behavior may be driven by a desire for attention and understanding. This is not uncommon in situations where there is a discrepancy between expectations and reality.
Perhaps after so many years, you have both forgotten what it was like to be each other's first love. You have become more and more adept at playing the roles of husband and father, while your wife remains stuck in the past, never wanting to grow up. The process of growing up is often painful, and she has to learn to reconcile herself with many things from the past that she has never been able to reconcile, not to mention a whole series of recent events.
Consider the potential consequences of her sudden reconciliation with her family. It's unlikely that she has matured during her marriage; rather, she seems to be driven by desperation. This is a troubling sign that could lead to a breakdown in the relationship.
How can you demonstrate your love for your wife? It is essential to possess high emotional intelligence in order to navigate between her and your family. It is crucial to protect your wife and understand the reasons behind her arguments with the elders. The conflict is between the elders' traditional ideas and your wife's new perspectives. It is a conflict of ideas, not your wife's lack of consideration. If you adopt the wrong approach, you risk pushing your wife into a dead end repeatedly.
In such circumstances, a gesture of physical affection is often more effective than a lengthy discourse.
There are no absolute right or wrong answers when it comes to family matters. The family unit is a place of love.
