She needs to be looking for a full time job, but is not doing so, I am not sure what her plan is at this time. Talking with her about money has always been hard, but lately it is all I have been thinking about. She is working part time, but needs to find something permanent. As a result I enjoy the times that she is not home much more to when she is here. I am tense and stressed any time that I am around her. But I do not want her to know that because she would take it personally and then I would have to work to fix those emotions. I am not a good communicator, I don't know how to address this without her getting upset. I want to be able to enjoy my time, but I'm not. She also wants to have a baby, but I do not want that to happen right now. It is not a good time for that at all. So I just conitnue to find ways to avoid being intimate.

Welcome to Marriage Builders, Tom. This site has a comprehensive marriage program that can help you. Have you read this site's Basic Concepts, yet?
How do you know your wife needs to be looking for a fulltime job?
You might want to click "Notify" and ask the moderators to move your thread to "Marriage Builders 101," where you will probably get a lot more attention and help. There are many people here who have created happy marriages for years with Dr. Harley's Marriage Builders concepts.
If you are serious about saving your marriage, you can't get it all on this forum. You've got to listen to the Marriage Builders Radio show, every day. Install the app! Married to my radiant trophy wife, Prisca, 19 years. Father of 8. Attended Marriage Builders weekend in May 2010 If your wife is not on board with MB, some of my posts to other men might help you.

Wow, someone who responds to me without name calling. Amazing. I am here for one day and people are all over me. I did go through and read some of the concepts.
And yes, she does need a full time job because we need to pay our bills adequately.
