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.

Shes a Remainer, while I voted to leave.

Lately, whenever anything negative possibly relating to Brexit occurs like empty shelves in the supermarket shell make a cutting remark, as if Im personally responsible.

Shell say: Theres no lorry drivers but, hey, at least youve got your bendy bananas.

Ive told her this upsets me, and theres nothing I can do to turn back time, but she says shell never let me forget it.

Im starting to dislike her and lose respect for her, and its making me miserable and affecting my confidence.

Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays.

Im not even sure our marriage will last.

What can I do?

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.
