How to React to a Wife Complaining All the Time

31 January, 2018
Q I have a situation which is mentally and physically challenging for me and don’t know how to overcome it. MashAllah I and my beautiful wife have been married for nearly 2 years now and we have a 10 months old sweet daughter. The problem is that I am the elder son in the family and have responsibilities as my father lives in Pakistan and mother with me here in the UK. I have always loved everyone and never gave anyone a chance to complain. My wife ever since we have got married has always been saying stuff to me about things and my family since we got married, but I’ve never taken any notice of it as she was young and I was always looking over her mistakes and looking at the bright side. We always had little fights, but I would calm down and not say anything to her and she would take that as an advantage to start verbally fighting with me. I have tried talking to her but she is ok for a few days but back to it after a few days. I used to work in a takeaway before, but mashAllah with Allah's blessing I have managed to get a full-time job. I give her more than I used to but she still sees it as less. She wants me to give her all the wage. I don’t have a problem with that, but she would spend it all. She is not that wise with money. I know the value of money as my father is aboard and doesn’t provide anything. Now recently she said to me that she doesn’t feel right with me and doesn’t want to see my face after she comes back from her holiday which I didn’t want her to go but she did. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to lose her or my daughter as love them both. Please help me. JazakAllah.
