We have been married for just under 2 years. As usual the marriage has had its ups and downs over the time - with good moments and arguments.

Recently I found my wife's conversation with one of her friend, generally discussing about our fights.

This friend of her's is single and has several bad relationships before including one nasty divorce. She had falsely accussed him of domestic violence and had used it as a tool for settlment.

As part of the conversations she was mentioning to my wife about all this, and what laws are there for women and so on.

I am unsure what I should do now. Should I ignore? Ensure that they both dont communicate or cut friendship with her? What conversation should I have with my wife?

I dont want to disclose that I am aware of her chat with her friend.

Please advise

Respect her privacy, and her right to discuss matters with her close friend. If you mention that you've read the conversation, try to stop your wife from continuing this friendship, or any other negative action, it can only end badly for you.

Take on board how your wife is feeling about your arguments, and look at what you can do to make matters right (even if you feel you aren't in the wrong). Suggest marriage counselling to work through the issues between you. Look at what triggers these arguments, and work out how those triggers can either be resolved or avoided. I wouldn't suggest you have a conversation with your wife about what you've read, but instead, lead by example by showing healthier relationship behaviour. Tell her you love her, you appreciate her, you respect and admire her. Ask her what you can do to help - whether that's cooking dinner a couple of nights a week, cleaning the bathroom, giving her a footrub, listening to her etc etc.
