Letters to the Editor
-
You so missed the mark on this one, you're not even in the same zip code.
It is not this man's job to pander to his increasingly irrational wife, who, by the way, is hitting him. He can never "prove" to her satisfaction that he is not cheating on her; it is impossible to prove a negative, and a paranoid person will always find "evidence" to support their paranoia.
If a woman wrote this letter about her husband, I suspect (hope?) that you would not tell her to be more transparent to him and hope that fixed the problem.
His wife sounds mentally ill, which is sad, but this man should not have to put up with irrational accusations and physical abuse, and he cannot cure her mental illness by trying to reach some impossible goal of absolute full disclosure about every aspect of his life.
As a domestic violence counselor, I am rather appalled that you would tell someone being abused to, essentially, "try harder."
