OK...Here we go...Need more advice from the experienced ones out there.<p>If you read my previous posts, you get the story. My question is:<p>How do I get her to stop doing these "wifely" things? I have asked, begged, pleaded, for her to leave the cleaning and things alone and let me do it myself. I have done everything I know of to get her to stop. Such as the clothes buying, cleaning the house, etc.<p>My only other recourse that I can think of is to change the locks, but believe me.....MONSTER LB'er. If I did that, there would be no Plan A, or Plan B, but I would have to develop a Plan C!<p>After I returned from my weekend trip, I thought that professional cleaners had been here. I have told her if she wants to "keep house" and make sure that I am presentable, then she ought to come home, and we will work on our marriage.<p>I am in a situation here where it is like I am married, except I am alone all the nights, and 90% of the evenings.<p>I can't make her STOP!<p>As others have given their opinions on this, I am beginning to believe that she doesn't want to see me living without her, because she is afraid that I can! Any thoughts?<p>HCII
