I've read this thread in it's entirety. This sums it up completely. If you are talking to your family or 'friends' about everything your spouse is doing wrong (won't pick up his underwear), etc., you are in trouble. Because none of what you said is ever kept secret.
This is a marriage between two people, keep it that way. Professional help is needed, should you have problems, not your friend's help. Having God as your pilot always will get you through most anything and my belief is the ony deal breakers are infidelity or domestic violence.
My husband and I will celebrate our 50th anniversary next year, I love him as much today as I did the day we were wed. I feel extremely blessed to have such a great life and he has been my best friend since the day I met him. And no, he's not perfect........but neither am I.
