Speaking as a man,why do women change when you put that ring on their finger. Everything is great when you are dating or even living together, but as soon as you say I DO they don't.I am not just talking about the bedroom stuff it is everything in general. Looking forward to any responses.

I will speak as a woman. These things are very common but not only to women but also to men. There arent men and women in these cases. I understand what you mean. Its pretty sad to have a type of relationship and when you think that it will get stronger, in reality it gets weaker but i believe that its good to talk to the other person and dont keep things to oneself or else things might take the wrong way. Communication is very important and we shouldnt take for granted the other person just because we have a ring. Unfortunately these situations happen but we should try and save them from unrepairable damage.

I'm sure there are plenty of women who saw their husbands change from being attentive, funny, hard-working & taking a pride in their appearance to lazy slobs slumped in front of the TV expecting to be waited on. I think its probably human nature to become a bit complacent once in a 'comfortable' secure relationship - and the things we find amusing or cute at the start of a relationship can become intensely irritating as time passes. We have to accept that some changes are inevitable and deal with them as they arise I suppose.

Hmmm... sounds to me like you may have been able to see this one coming. Maybe not though. As a married women I take my responsibilities very seriously. I enjoy knowing that my husband is satisfied, and not just in the bedroom. I think when a person changes in a relationship there are warning signs from the get go. I have seen it happen to friends and can honestly say they were warned of what they could expect before it happens. Hopefully, in your case, your wife will come to her senses and do what needs to be done to make it a lasting marriage. All to often people end up divorced because of this and I think it is really sad. There are ways to improve communication and also ways to help each other out doing the mundane everyday chores. Making a time each week to sit down and talk about your goals is a great starting point. Best of luck to you!
