What do you do when your wife puts you in the "friend zone"
If it was anything other than marriage I would've left and not looked back a couple years ago already

If she isn't upholding the role of wife, maybe it's time for a title change.
To begin with, do you still treat her like your wife, with all the rights and privileges that come with that title? Try treating her like a roommate and see what happens. She might not realize how good she has it.
Having said all of this...check yourself to make sure you didn't stop acting like a good husband and she hasn't already beaten you to the punch by beginning to remove your husband privileges.

@easterniowegin wow, I see you've been around. Good advice

but why does a wife have to have a role other than being her own person within the relationship?

@atlantic59
A) You aren't just your own person if you're in a relationship. You're a part of that relationship. She is literally "Mrs Justafantasy."
B) if she thinks she is just her own person, then stopping the wifely benefits will have zero impact on her, right?!

@easterniowegin I want to understand but my small brain does not comprehend...what are those benefits and when and why are they paid? When I haul water from the creek to a waiting fire so I can heat the water to wash her hair, does she owe me? Even though I do a thorough scalp massage and I do hear her moaning, and we never have sex.....?

@atlantic59 build the fire closer to the creek....you'll have even less to worry about. 👍
