How can a wife adjust with a husband who never co-operate with her ..Even when a wife is more educated than a husband..But husband do not want his wife to be self dependent..And wife have no other option to live at other place.

That's a very tricky situation to be in! My first instinct is to ask why a woman would marry someone who doesn't support her in her personal growth, but I understand that sometimes we marry for reasons other than love. Perhaps the best thing to do in a situation like this is to try finding any small thing the husband does that nurtures the wife's well-being and autonomy. Even if it's a silly little thing, it's good for her to point it out to her husband and tell him how good it makes her feel. Tell him she appreciates his support, and that she is grateful to have a husband who cares about her needs. Most people will react better to praise than to complaints. And by using a very small thing to point out a need for his emotional support or her independence, she is raising the issue in a non-confrontational way. Let her reward him with praise or by making him a favourite food, or whatever will make him feel happy. He will associate the good feeling with whatever he did to make her feel good. Over time, he will loosen up and learn that letting her have that independence benefits them both

@meeu886 Thank you for the compliments, but I think they are a bit over the top! Best of luck to this couple. I think if they work together, they can have a long and happy life. It just takes time to adjust to being in a relationship that has both give and take.

Well I guess that husband is going to get his wish and the wife will eventually get tired of this and move out. Then she will truly be independent. So he should be more understanding, maybe you could try to talk to him. I hope you two will be fine.

If there is no happiness in relationship, no use of living together. Wife and husband should have mutual respect and understanding?

I'm sorry you're in this situation. Honestly I don't know what I'd do. My husband and I had a lot of talks prior to getting married and then once we decided I'd stay home with the kids about how we need to treat each other. I hope you're able to work something out withhim.

Any kind of relationship is a 50/50 proposition--it's always a matter of give and take.
