No, I think DADT is ultimately a sign of cowardice and fear - from both parties involved. It is an extremely unhealthy state of tension in what should be a relationship built on mutual trust and respect. Choosing to ignore something that breeds animosity between two people will only serve to widen the rift in all aspects of the relationship.

I was very, very alarmed to read the amount of hate and vitriol in your description of your wife. And from the way you tell it, she probably feels disgusted with you too.

I strongly urge both you and your wife to get professional help and see a marriage counselor, before your marriage become unsalvageable.
