I cannot understand that after only 11 months of marriage, my husband moves out due to his refusal to take responsibility that he takes me for granted.
We argue over the most trivial stuff. For example, we argue about what church we are going to go to, or what day we are going to clean the house. He wants me to be this meek and quiet wife who just follows him. That is not fair!<p>I have tried to keep peace and not say anything but it only works for so long. <p>So, when my husband packed his bags to leave, I asked him on what grounds was he filing for divorce and he said he did not know. I also want to add that this is his second marriage and he was only married 18 months, before he filed for divorce from his 1st wife. Then he realized he maid a mistake and tried to reconcile. I just don't understand what his problem is. I have tried to be a good wife but to no avail, i can't do the right thing. <p>
Any advice for reconciliation?

Unfortunately, it is his decision, and chasing after him will only drive him further away. He sounds like he cannot keep commitments. I wonder if he has changed jobs much, or not been ablt to hold to other promises and responsibilities. It also sounds like he is domineering, and wants to live in a dream world of a perfect marriage as he defines it. You may be better off without him unless he will get counseling and really change.
