Two months ago, we got married. Our wedding was simple, intimate, and beautiful. After the ceremony, we spent a few days together as newlyweds. Then we both packed our bags and went our separate ways to live our lives.

We had been in a long-distance relationship before marriage, and for the time being, we are still going to remain that way. We still stick to our schedules and make plans before we see each other. So marriage did not change much about the way we lived.
Our titles changed, yes, but our living arrangement and lifestyle remained largely the same.
My wife is quick-tempered. She was like that when we were dating, and over the years, I have always tried to manage situations whenever misunderstandings arose. Most of the time, I was the one who reached out to resolve issues, whether I was at fault or not. I believed that love should not keep score or hold grudges.
She is a good person. Anyone who gets to know her would probably find it difficult to let her go. But there is a but.
Lately, however, even the smallest things irritate her. When something happens, anything at all, she gets upset. Say I tell her I will call at six and end up calling at seven, or do not call at all. She gets angry. That is just one tiny example. When she is upset, she does not bother to call or communicate. Sometimes she goes silent for days and carries on with her life as though nothing has happened.
I have reached a point where I no longer want to be the only one making an effort to fix things. I am tired of always being the one to bend, the one to call first, the one to keep the peace. I want to stop playing the fool.
The whole situation is becoming emotionally draining. Some days, I find myself wondering whether getting married was the biggest mistake of my life. We dated for almost three years before we got married, so I honestly thought we knew each other well enough to avoid finding ourselves here.
I Called My Girlfriend And Another Man Answered The Phone
Am I overreacting by already feeling like giving up, or is this something that many young couples go through in the early stages of marriage?
