Hi Anu, After 17 years of married life, suddenly my wife has started behaving strangely.
She used to be very loving member of the family.
All of a sudden she has had major fights with her nieces whom she has virtually raised, with her bhabhi and now with my parents.
All within a span of two-three months.
With me also she has become aloof and disinterested.
She is so sensitive to any form of conversation, that I or anyone else have to walk on eggshells.
What do I do? How do I recover our marriage?
Ans: Dear PK,
Usually we miss seeing signs of any behaviour downturn. It happens over a period time.
Since I don’t have much information from you in this regard, maybe what I can ask you to look at is whether this is hormone related.
Women have a major change in their hormonal journey after 40 and it can impact different women in varied ways.
It might be good to check with her doctor who will recommend a few tests to rule out any physiological issue and if all that is fine, then you can think of whether there are any sudden changes in your lifestyle or any life altering changes that has impacted her adversely.
This can be a start point for you to take this forward. This is all I can suggest as I don’t have the information to share more.
All the best!
