My wonderful wife has a grudge against my entire family

Dear Amy: I am married to a wonderful woman. We just completed 20 years of marriage and have two fantastic teenagers. Our life is fairly blissful.

Unfortunately, we are cut off from our families. My wife only gets along with her mother; no one else. She has not talked to her brother in years. She barely speaks to my family when we visit them every other year.

I feel like I have eloped with her to a distant island.

She expects everyone to behave in a certain manner and if they don’t, she holds grudges against them forever. She will not forgive and move on. She brings up stuff from years ago that no one even remembers. Even a mention of anyone from my family leads to a fight and a chronological list of gripes.

I would like my children to meet their relatives, but she just refuses to budge.

Every few weeks, she will select something, pick a fight and be grumpy for a few days.

My family members are eager to move past any disagreements. They have apologized for things they might have said or done years ago, but since the apology was not word for word like my wife wanted, she refused to accept it.

My mom and dad have both died, but that does not prevent her from berating them in every fight she has with me

Aside from this issue, everything else is bliss. She is a stay-at-home mom and fulfills those responsibilities very well.

After years of fighting, I am feeling very constrained.

I can’t speak with my family without her taunting me about it.
