My wife is a twin. last year I got a job in another city and my wife and I moved there. she lasted about a year there and then she demanded to move back to be closer to her twin. when I couldn't find a job fast enough to her liking she move back on her own. Now I'm forced to commute on the weekends to see my daughter and wife until I find a job back there. She says she still loves me and we still have happy moments, but this definitly put a strain on the marriage. And mind you I'm an engineer and my salary allows my wife to stay at home with our daughter. so I really cant take any job. my question is, are twins really that unseparateable or is my wife selfish for wanting to be with her twin more then her husband.

Well I'm a twin and last year for the first time in our life she moved. We lived in Michigan and then she got married and then they moved to Arizona. It has killed me everyday. We are very close. But I can't just up and move my family to be with her. I do want to move there but I know it will take time. I will have to say that your wife is being selfish. You are the main provider for your family, which is allowing her to stay home with your daughter. She should be thankful for that. I know that I go to visit her atleast once a year and then she comes back home to see the whole family once or twice a year. It sucks but it's life. The bond between twins is just amazing!

Well I would have to say that you and your wife really need to sit down and talk about this. Let her know you do understand that her and her sister are so close and you want her to be able to be with her. But yet you need to help her understand that this is your family and it's important that you both live together and that it's not fair that you have to go the whole week without seeing YOUR daughter!! You both need to have a heart to heart talk!!! I hope everything works out for you and good luck!

I doubt that she's being intentionally selfish. When she married you, she probably didn't realize how hard it might be if she had to move away from her twin. When you did move away, she saw then how hard it was. Honestly, I consider her behavior immature and an unfair burden on you and your daughter. Sometimes, though, we don't know how weak or how strong we will be until confronted with a difficult situation. If she couldn't follow you where you needed to go for employment, with her as a stay-at-home-mom, she shouldn't have married you and had a child with you. But that's 20/20 hindsight -- all you can do now is make the best of the situation. For your daughter's sake, I hope this doesn't cause an irreparable rift in your marriage.

I think that your wife is being selfish. Of course family matters, but you and your children are her family! She should be supportive of you and the decisions that you make and I think that there is something else that made her move. I don't know if you guys are having problems, but I know that I would never leave my husband alone in a new city (especially if I didn't have to work as a result of that). You need to talk to your wife and ask her what she is feeling. Tell her that you are trying to be closer to her, but you need her support. Good luck and God bless!

Twin or no twin she's really being selfish to put her whole family in an uproar over something so trivial. Tell her to get a web cam and talk to her sis as much as possible. She made the decision to be married and have a family with you. She needs to realize that era in her life has ended and a new one has begun. She didn't loose her sister, she just needs to give her a new place in her life and right now her sister is going to have to be 3rd in line of priorities.

you will by no skill understand till they permit you recognize yet i'm able to assert 2 issues. a million. while my mom grow to be pregnant with me (i'm a twin) a lot of people thought she grow to be having twins and my total relatives grow to be praying for twins etc. and we haven't any twins in our relatives so it grow to be thoroughly random. So perhaps you have some desire with that. 2. i do no longer think of having lots of twins has that vast of an result on no be counted if or no longer you have ones. it truly relies upon on if different twins on your loved ones are fraternal or no longer. reason being is using the fact comparable is punctiliously random yet fraternal could have an result on it. simply by fact there's a gene for something stated as hyper-ovulation which makes a woman placed out lots greater eggs greater many times and each now and then numerous at a time. consequently making your opportunities of having a fraternal twins bigger properly solid success with the twins!

In marriage, the husband is the first priority to the wife and the wife is the first priority to the husband. Your wife seems extremely immature to put her twin before you....maybe you guys need counseling. I will be praying for you as a couple......

If she wants to live near the twin then she needs to get a job and pay for not living with the bread winner in the family.

I'm a twin and I'm really close to my brother. I don't see him that often but we talk on the phone every other day or so.

Have you ever consider that your wife is bored and wants a companion.

Maybe the other twin will move closer to you so that the wife will follow the twin. Gotcha?

Yes, she is being very selfish by putting her twin before you. Has to make me wonder if something else isn't going on there.
