My hubby takes advantage of my shy and silent nature
Dear Diana,
I've been married nine years and have two kids. I am quiet, shy, down-to-earth person; whereas my husband is the complete opposite. He is more verbal and loud. Initially, this made me fall in love with him; now it gets on my nerves. We were friends before we got married. He loved my shy and quiet nature and I fell in love with his talkative nature. I gel well with my in-laws. My only problem is my hubby and his rude and loud nature. The initial years were fun. Since the past four years, not so good. All our conversations end in him shouting and me

not talking with him for days... sometimes, an entire month. I feel not talking to him is better option than arguing back and forth. Sometimes I feel he takes advantage of my quieter nature, but I can't seem to help it.u00a0 I usually don't like him raising his voice on me. We both work and are financially sound, but aren't happy anymore. I really don't know what our problem is at times.

Dear Akela,
I'm sure it's all infatuation and nothing more and a phase that will outgrow itself in time. Of course, in the meantime, I suggest you confide in your girlfriend/close friend/ or one of the elders in the house to keep an eage eye out for her. Considering you intend to marry into the family, not clearing this matter up now will create undue controversy later. I don't think she's out of her mind or anything; neither would I discount her fooling around as if this were some sort of weird 'test' of sorts. I'd suggest dealing with this matter quite sensitively and promptly. You don't know what you're up against. And the quicker you know, the better.
