So I have been happily married for a little over 3 yrs now. Recently have noticed my wife being very short, if not curt with me. She is often very negative and very critical of what I say and do. If I ask her to not be so harsh, she tells me I'm too soft (wimp). I ENJOY BEING NICE TO PEOPLE. At work I am confident, direct, and assertive. I try not to be this way at home as I do not want to dominate my wife, rather I want her to get what she wants and be happy. So she tells me I am not dominant enough and she doesn't find me as attractive because of that. She says you need to stand up for what you believe". So I start to be more assertive with her and it only leads to fights. She can be totally wrong, but will never admit it. Some folks have told me just always agree with her. Don't disagree, don't make waves. I understand why, but then I feel fake and feel like I am being passive. What to do? BTW- I’m 30, she’s 27.
