My marriage is on the brink as we have totally different views over Brexit
DEAR DEIDRE: BREXIT is wrecking my marriage.
My wife and I have been together for 15 years. I’m 46 and she’s 38.

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.
I love her, but we have completely different views on leaving the EU.
She’s a Remainer, while I voted to leave.
Lately, whenever anything negative possibly relating to Brexit occurs – like empty shelves in the supermarket – she’ll make a cutting remark, as if I’m personally responsible.
She’ll say: “There’s no lorry drivers but, hey, at least you’ve got your bendy bananas.”
I’ve told her this upsets me, and there’s nothing I can do to turn back time, but she says she’ll never let me forget it.
I’m starting to dislike her and lose respect for her, and it’s making me miserable and affecting my confidence.

DEIDRE SAYS: Brexit has divided people more than any other political issue for decades. But your wife is taking it too far.
She needs to understand how much her behaviour is affecting you. Talk to her again and ask if you can agree to disagree on Brexit.
Make it clear how upset you are. Ask if she can try to stop bringing up the subject or at least stop making it personal.
My support pack, Standing Up For Yourself, should help you to do this without causing an argument.
