    Sounds like you need some marriage counseling,  for both of you . She is not the only one in this marriage causing problems.  Reading your letter,  you belittle her , she may be sensitive,  but belittling her is not helping your situation . You didn’t take the time to know each other during your courtship of getting to know each other. Like what kind of cook she is , how she keeps the house clean and what your expectations are . Maybe quitting is not the right answer, realize you both need to work on your marriage and not give up so quickly,  you as well made a promise to her on the day you took your vows

    Hi Faisal,

    She simply has to get her license, I was frustrated just reading all the driving you had to do! Does she have a phobia? Can she take driving lessons? Can you simply schedule driving tests for her (a good month in advance so she can get ready) and say “You’re going or I won’t go out of my way to drive you anymore?”

    Housework: Guess what, if you were single and living alone YOU would cook and hopefully clean anyway! Are we back in the 50’s? Am I really reading this LOL? Well, if she wants to be a housewife (while also later getting a job?) the Flylady.net website is SUPER helpful! And once she’s working, I suggest YOU cook a meal once a week for her. And clean up afterwards, too!

    The bedroom: It could be YOU, you know! Who knows? She is clearly not at ease. Yes, seek counselling for that one!

    Good Luck!

    Dear Bob:

    You wrote: “I need to be very patient and steadfast.”

    My question to you is: how can you possibly, with all the patience and steadfastness that you can muster, how can you possibly change a “stubborn and totally dependent teenager… raise her to maturity” when she is not open to your input, when she reject your input again and again, and when she turns against you when you reach out to her? I mean, a child learns and matures if she is eager to please (the parent), welcomes the input by the parent.

    Haven’t you been attempting the impossible?
