Dear Thelma: I resent my wife for treating me like dirt


After much consideration, I have decided to write to you as I have probably just exhausted all possible avenues that I could rely on to vent my troubles. I have been married for six years, and if I am honest, marriage life hasn’t done much for me nor has it made me any happier. If anything, it has made me depressed and disappointed.

Both my wife and I are working adults. We do not have any children, and I have decided not to have any even though my in-laws are pressuring us about it because I already have my hands full.
