Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities Textchalanged,

Thank you for contacting us regarding text messaging. You have come to the right place and we are happy to assist you. If we understand correctly, you are unable to text everyone but your wife, but she can text you. We can understand why you’d reach out for a solution. To start, make sure you have the most current Operating System on your device (Settings > General > Software Update). Make sure you are signed into Messages with your Apple ID and phone number. (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) Send as SMS is a good one to have enabled too.

If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Let us know if this resolves it, or if we need to further assist.

Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.

Best regards.
