Re: This is serious!
It’s not being suggested as the first solution. It’s just being suggested as the best solution when according to the OP eight years have been invested into the marriage and his wife and in laws still don’t respect him, his wife would rather while her time away on the phone than spend time with her husband, and in those eight years he’s only had sex a handful of times. Of course the guy should talk it out but in this case it looks like all that has been done and dusted already.
