Dear Queenie,
My husband can’t get a job that pays enough to support us so I work part-time to help pay our bills. He won’t even look at a budget and complains that I am always talking about money, but he won’t listen to anything I say about money. He says I’m calling him stupid and that it’s just verbal abuse.
Queenie, I love him and I think he loves me too. How can I make things better?—Sad wife
Dear Wife,
There is verbal abuse in your marriage, but it is not coming from you. By letting your husband get away with all this, you are enabling him.
Consult a financial advisor about your money problems and a marriage counsellor, with or without your husband, about the other problems in your relationship.
