Me (30m) wife (47f) had her friend over at our home tonight. My friend had messaged me on WhatsApp saying that he wanted to cheat on his gf. I had advised him this was a bad idea and left it at that.

I was sitting alone when my wife comes up and punches me in the face multiple times.

She had gone through my phone and is apparently too stupid to realize that on WhatsApp that the sender’s messages are on the right (she thought I was sending messages about wanting to cheat).

I tried to explain to my wife that she had this all backwards which I eventually succeeded in doing. My wife then gets mad at me for being shocked and upset that my spouse had hit me.

She tells me that, “my father hit my mom and he still loved her.”

Honestly how can anyone think this way? I wouldn’t hit my wife for any reason ever. The kicker being that my friend told his gf that he was having feelings and wanting to stray and they had a productive and calm talk about it.

So I was beaten by my wife for telling my friend not to cheat.

My wife threatens to divorce me all the time, goes through my phone constantly and is a mean drunk. I can’t tell anyone about this, but how can anyone be so cruel to someone they love?

She has told me that she misses her ex-husband and that she should be with someone from her generation.
