Question

My wife has found a way to win every argument by hitting herself in the head?
During an argument my wife has found that when she starts hitting herself in the head I back down and let her win the argument. As much as a try to show that it doesn't bother me it does and I show it and let her win the argument. What should I do about this she is doing it more and more.

Answer 1

Buy her a helmet. It will ease your guilt and allow you to win some. but seriously she needs a psychiatrist or a counselor. That is not normal behavior

Answer 2

Your wife is acting like a child. For an adult to act that way then there is definitely something wrong with her. And for you let her win the argument is wrong. Don't let her win the argument and tell her to get the help that she needs.

Answer 3

No amount of rational argument or pleading will get her to stop this. There is only one way to stop it, and it is harsh. Threaten to divorce her if it continues, and make sure she understands that you will follow through if necessary. In my opinion, this kind of emotional blackmail is a form of mental abuse. Do not stand for it.



My wife used to make suicide threats every time she didn't get her way on something. Demanding that she go into counseling and proving to her that I would divorce her if she did not was the only thing that worked.

Answer 4

Try writing her a letter and setting up an appointment for you both see a psychiatrist. Your wife has mental issues if she hurts herself like this to stifle you from communicating with you.

Answer 5

Its not funny of us to give such answers..

Might be a good idea for you to seperate for a few weeks and make yourself clear. Communication will not lead to arguments if not face to face and over emails.

This is quite serious.

Answer 6

Ryan this is probably why she does it ?

But it seems an extreme way to win an argument

When your not arguing and she is calm

I would ask her why she does this ?

Answer 7

Im sorry but your wife needs help if she hits herself when she's mad.. you need to get her help or run for the hills.

Answer 8

I'm with Allison, although after you buy your wife that helmet, buy yourself a medal and a drink.

Answer 9

HAHAHA. How immature, how bout you tell her to take accountability for her wrongs, just like you do. If you guys can't work it our like mature adults, marriage counseling might help.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Answer 12
