Is it normal wife is not acting with good character.

Hello, my wife and I recently moved into a duplex and have neighbors close now. They are very friendly, even offered us things that they had surplus of, for whatever reason(soymilk) and I have allowed them to borrow the lawn mower a few times as they just moved in shortly asfter we did. They now have their own lawn mower so my wife doesn't complain about them borrowing it anymore. The issue I am having now is with my wife and the way she responds to the situation. Anytime I engage in a conversation with the neighbor I am interrogated about what we talked about, even happens when I have a conversation with my parents. She is negative about the neighbors and wants basically nothing to do with them...but they have done nothing wrong and are good people from what I can tell. I just wish my wife would be more positive to other people and stop being nasty about it all. Is this normal for some wives?

    Women are strange, therefore any odd behavior is normal.

    Insecure an jealous. It needs to stop or the marriage will end or just generally drag you down and make life hell

    Sounds a lot like insecurity.

  • My husband is the exact same way!

    It's because his family is like that; suspicious of everyone, especially their neighbours.

    Is the naighbor woman hot? I mean be honest with yourself when you answer that - not marriage honest lol. If she is, I would say she is insecure about you talking with her. Though that is no excuse for her behaving this way.
    If she isnt as good looking as your wife, then I dont know, I dont think its normal at ALL.
    I would ask her why all the resentment - I mean, ask her:
    "honestly honey, I need to know what's wrong because you're obviously angry about something, and I want you to be happy - the only way that I can fully understand is for you to fully explain what is bothering you"
    Its all about HOW you say it with women ;)

    She's insecure - I had a gf like this - wouldn't let me have friends, didn't like me to be friends with her family, always wanted to know who I was talking to etc Did my head in! Got outta that one in the end...You need to find out why she's so insecure and help her get over this.

      My wife is like this, but she only became this way after marriage. It's driving me bonkers, and I'm trying to get her to work on it, because if she can't...well...things won't end well.

      To the OP, some wives I guess are like this, it's annoying, and I hope it doesn't end up as big of a problem as it is in my world.

        The question you need to ask her is whether she is satisfied with her life and, if she isn't, what needs to change in order to make her happy. Work on that because if she isn't happy she's going to make you miserable for a long time. However, some women (and men!) are never happy with their lot no matter how much they have, maybe because the are very competitive between each other. Women like that are never good for marriage.

    Has she only recently become like this?

    It sounds as if she's worried about something totally unrelated and getting you to repeat other conversations to take her mind off her own problems.

    Maybe she's just home-sick for where you used to live!
    Or, maybe she's jealous of you chatting to them, as if you don't enjoy her company as much.
    Or, maybe she's lonely and wants to keep you to herself.

    A difficult one but if this isn't her usual behaviour you should ask her what's wrong - NOT after she's been nasty about someone though!!
