Why is My Husband So Critical of Me? 3 Realities You Must Understand

I think at some point or another, every wife feels a little judged by her husband.

Maybe it’s in a moment when your two ways of seeing things collide, and he takes a self-righteous stance.

Maybe it’s in a moment where he corrects something you’re doing because it’s not the way he thinks it should be done.

Maybe it’s in a moment when he tells you that your reaction to a situation is uncalled for and just not the right way to feel.

I can say I’ve personally found myself in these situations many times over and they are hard to swallow.

Becoming a Better Version of You

Become Your Best Self: Here’s What it Takes

Every once in a while, life will hand you situations that reveal how you need to become your best self.

I had one of these moments last week.

My younger sister had finally divulged the news that she was “seeing” someone. This information, a total shock and surprise to me (and everyone else in our family) sent me into a tailspin of questions, concerns, and cautions.

And like any big sister, I wanted all the details.

I promptly called her on FaceTime to give her what I called the Perotte Interrogation. I had a mental list of questions and information to gather, just so I could have the peace of mind that this young man, who looked quite nice and respectable from his Instagram profile, measured up to the standards I’d want for someone as precious to me as my baby sister.
