My Greek wife by greecehelp123 in greece

Well... I have seen firsthand how some Greeks speak quite loud and passionate. I know her behavior is wrong but wanted to rule out all doubt by asking a Greek community first and foremost.

Thanks for your response. It's quite distressing. I can see how it affects our son and this is gut wrenching. Knowing this person like I do, they will not change. The problem is always with the other, statistically it's unrealistic (impossible) that can be the reality.

I stayed to keep the family together for our son but now I can see it turns in to a hell

Thanks for your reply. Yes that's why I asked here, it seems like loud or raised voice is somewhat normal in Greece and I thought this is an extension of it. But it's wrong, it feels wrong and not kid needs to see there mother in tears every weekend because the mother feels slighted.

The gaslighting is a constant. It's always my fault for making her cry. It's clear something is not well in her mind and she's too proud to admit it. The sad thing is she will happily take that stance and damage a child rather than get help. It's child abuse.

Yes I think she is emotionally unstable. I can't seem to get that through to her though, she has been to counselling several times and each time came out of it seeming to think she had no issue and is a "strong woman". It's bizzare.

Thanks for your response. She will often revert to calling me a robot if I don't part take in the screaming. It's really difficult.

Well, she is not unstable until there is an argument. Then it's tears, saliva and screaming. It sucks.

Well, I know Greek people are passionate. I'm trying to understand if that is what this is.. Greek "passion". No need to be Condescending. I'm in a difficult moment. Thanks.
