Re: Wife finding it difficult adjusting
^ Agreed. Forget pushing…I think its time for a shove! She’s been married for almost 2 months. She needs to make the necessary adjustments and not mope around missing her previous life. You really need to insist that she start volunteering or start some type of classes ASAP while looking for a job. Without any strong external influence, she’ll just continue to drown in her own sorrow.
Also, if things don’t get better in a months or so…depending on how close you are to her family (particularly her mother or any older sisters she may have)…you may also want to consider asking her family for help. Let them know that she’s having a hard time adjusting and you’d appreciate their input on how to help her accept her new role as a wife. In this particular situation, going there to stay overnight with them for several days and speaking with them every-single-day isn’t helping. Its only making her stay focused on her “previous” life. If your wife is not willing to move on despite strong encouragement from you…THEN the next step would be to ask her parents for help b/c I’m sure they don’t want their daughter to remain depressed.
