My wife treats me like dirt and it’s driving me into her best friend’s arms | The Sun

DEAR DEIDRE: MY wife treats me like dirt and it’s driving me into her best friend’s arms.

Ever since we got married, my wife has talked to me like I’m a piece of dog poo on her shoe.

She has no respect for me – she calls me names, flirts with other men and expects me to do all the housework, even though I work full-time and she doesn’t.

I’m 34 and she is 32.

We have a five-year-old daughter and I don’t want my girl growing up thinking this is how you treat the people you love.

My wife’s best friend has been a shoulder to cry on.

Lately, I’ve realised I’ve started to fall for her.

I won’t act on it because I’m not a cheat, but she’s made me realise what I’m missing – kindness, affection and respect.

DEIDRE SAYS: Your wife’s behaviour is emotionally abusive.

My Abusive Partner support pack explains more.

You need to tell her how this is making you feel and how it’s affecting your daughter.

If she doesn’t change, think about leaving before she destroys your self-esteem.
