<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

i have been a lurker for a little while.

i have been married to my wife (Melissa 40 F) for 19 years now and we have 5 kids. our marriage is rocky right now, due to financial issues little communication and lack of intimacy.

counseling has been brought up but we haven't fully pushed to go or anything. we have become distant with each other and i have noticed we are starting to argue more frequently.

i sometimes dread going home because i know she's probably going to be mad at me for something. i honestly have been thinking about working overtime but don't want to be that mean.

i have a female friend and we talk occasionally but not that often i have known her for 11 years. we became friends when me and my wife first moved to our neighborhood she's a nice woman to talk to.

she could tell something was wrong with me and asked me what was on my mind. after a little bit i finally told her everything thats been going on with my life and how i feel.

i then started telling her about my marriage problems and how me and my wife have been arguing a lot. she agreed with on everything and told me my wife shouldn't be getting that angry at me.

we have been texting a bit more than usual and it feel nice to just talk to someone who's not yelling at me. but i can't shake the feeling that this is somehow wrong?

is what I'm doing wrong?
<bot>: me and my wife are having problems and keep arguing a lot i have started venting to my friend but i feel lime its somehow wrong.
