Last night,I and my wife had a quarrel!Then,this morning my wife left our home,go back to her parents there.And said that she would never come back!!
Such thing happened has several times this month :).Usually I went to her parents home and apologize to my wife.and then she will come back with me.
My wife's method is learned from her friend ,and frequently used it.
I want to know if you encounter such a situation ,how would you do?

Hi qdzyjin! How old is your wife? Do you know why I ask you this question? Because packing her things and going back to her parents is such an immature way of dealing with problem. Things will never be resolved by doing that.
By the way whose fault, anyway? Well still her action is not justifiable...
Okay, this is what you need to do, go to your wife and ask her to go home with you. When you are already at home...talk and tell her to stop running back to her parents everytime you two encountered problems or had a misunderstanding. Tell her that what ever is your problem, you are already married and you have to be mature enough to handle your problems. Do not involve your parents anymore. Tell that to her in a nice way... Don't sound sarcastic or something... I think your wife is too sensitive.
Tell her you love her but if she does that again, you will not go fetch to her parents' house. But she is very welcome to come back anytime. The door is always open. You will be there just waiting for her.
Stress out and make her understand that your not young anymore... soon you are going to have kids and her way of escaping is not a good example to your kids... Running away from problems is not a good thing to do.
No worries she will understand that if you deliver that in a nice way.
GOOO LUCK!

Really? Then you should mark me as best response... Just kidding... You better talk to her because if you don't and suddenly you get tired of going after her... she might think that you don't love her anymore and worst you have other woman... hahahaha

I almost see it as kind of a manipulative thing that she does, that she continuously runs to her parents and has "learned" that behavior from her friend? Well, this time I'd probably say let her "cool off" and see what happens there. It sounds like your wife is still a child that she keeps running to her parents when there are rough times in your relationship. She should learn to be a "grown woman" and face her problems alone, and work through them, in her home with you! I don't know but if I were you I'd have a long talk with her about her behavior because that is ridiculous to always be running back home to Mommy when she gets upset or doesn't get her own way. Will she be doing that when she's very old? If you guys have problems you should work through them together as a couple.

I definitely agree with you ilyzium... No way should she be acting that way anymore. She is a married woman hello.... She must act her age. Face the problem. Don't involve her parents anymore especially to petty fights and misunderstandings...

I think that when your wife does this she just needs some time to be by herself and think about things. Just give your wife some space and I am sure that everything will be alright. Is it things that you are doing that are causing your wife to go and stay with her parents? Maybe you could change what you are doing.

i agree, the fact that he keeps going to apologize makes her want to do it over and over again he should tell her that he would like to give time to think things over, if she wants to move back to her parents or work things out with him

Hello qdzyjin. You are not alone there because my wife used to do the same and I did the same like you do. So it is good that your wife has somewhere to go when she does not feel good. You may just go and say sorry to her and beg her to come back to you. Anyway, there is much truth in the saying, East, west, home is the best. I am sure she will come back soon when she feels good again. Good luck with you, friend.

qdzyjin you are such a nice man... but don't spoil her too much. Remember in a happy home there is always two people involve... you should not always be the one who gives in... it should be mutual...

I think that I would ask her what she is thinking and feeling in regards to the fight if you don't understand why the fight started in the first place. I'd also ask her to talk to you, or if she can't right then to please talk to you later when she feels that she can. I'd ask her not to leave the home and to just talk to you, and I'd also apologize saying that your sorry for upsetting her and you just want to know what's going on. I'd eventually mention how you feel about her going to her mom's, and how you feel it's a technique her friend uses, and if it hurts you I'd tell her that as well... But I'd also say you don't mean to hurt her, and that if you do you'd like to know immediately so you can fix your mistake.

Agree to disagree, though I am sure that is much easier said then done. My husband and I don't tend to disagree so much as we misunderstand.

Hello there
Women are weakness.Go and apologize then she will back to your life.You still love her Don't you? You just should tell her the way doesn't work out everytime.'Every couple may have a quarrel or different opinion.If everytime after quarrel you go back to your parents,People will laughing you,and you are not kid any more.should handle this like a adult 'So do you think this method can work out? Anyway Good luck just a advice from a little gril.

well.. dont let her use that method for so long man.. one time is more than enough.. but several times..? seems like she is playing with you.. you better start using a different strategy than going to her parents house and make her come back after apologizing.. you better teach her a lesson .. let her think couple of days about coming to you or staying in her parent's house..

You said you usually apologize to her aferwards. How about a change of pace? Instead of going to her to apologize, again, why don't you let it be for a few weeks. She probably needs her cooling down time, and I think it is also much needed on your part. Besides, marriage is mutual partnership. If you are the one who always need to give in, that wouldn't be fair. She needs to remember you are a human too and learn to equalle give in.
