But if you have already said the words ‘I do', it is your duty to try and save your marriage. Even if you have an insulting wife, there may be chance of bringing some respect back into your relationship.

There is no point in cribbing that ‘my wife insults me' all the time. You have to be a man and do something about it. Never resort to physical or verbal violence even if you are instigated. There are some better and safer ways to tackle an insulting wife.

10 SIGNS YOU ARE DATING THE WRONG GIRL

Is she aware?
Does your wife even know that she is insulting you? Sometimes, a couple may not perceive that is ‘insulting' each other. It is best to have a clear chat with her. Tell her what aspects of her speech or behaviour is demeaning to you.

Does she do it purposely?
If you realise that your wife is totally aware of the fact that you are feeling insulted by her, you still have to know the cause of her behaviour. Ask her coolly and clearly, why she is affronting you purposely. You may be surprised by her answer. Many women use insults as a way to get back at their husbands. You may just have pissed her off without knowing.

Ego wars?
May be this ‘insulting' is not just a one way process. It could be possible that you both are having a war of egos. And when your ego becomes more important than your relationship, then insults is not very uncommon.

Is it a new development?
Was your wife always habitually insulting you or is it a recent development? May be she is trying to pressure you into leaving her. She could also be bored with the marriage or be having an affair.

Are you being over-sensitive?
The definition of an ‘insult' varies from person to person. May be your idea of being insulted is a bit too narrow. Speak to your close friends and find out if you are over reacting to your wife's comments.

Try giving it back
Your wife may need a taste of her own medicine. So if all else fails, pass a subtly insulting comment about her in front of her friends. When she asks you why you behaved so badly, tell her, ‘that is how it feels when you insult me'.

Every person has the right to maintain their respect. So do not
tolerate insulting behaviour from your spouse forever. You can look for separation if things do not work out.
