Query: My wife believes that she is a know-it-all. She doesn’t want to listen to anything that anyone says and because of this attitude, she’s ruining my relationship with my sisters and parents. She keeps telling them they don’t know things the way she does and I am done defending her actions honestly. What should I do?
Expert advice by Aanchal Narang, Founder and Therapist at Another Light Counselling: I understand that this situation might be frustrating and tiring for you. I believe establishing boundaries would be better for all your relationships. Having a conversation with your wife to help her reflect on how her attitude and actions are impacting your relationships with your sister and parents might be beneficial. Communicate your issues and perspectives to her.
This might be leading to issues in your marriage as well, talk about that too. A couple’s or family therapist
would also be able to help you navigate this, especially if she doesn’t listen or understand. You don’t need to defend her actions, try to keep your relationships separate. You can further look into understanding if there are any underlying core issues (within everyone involved) that is leading to repeated conflicts.
