"who" and a comma in punctuation

Hi - I have a question regarding the word "who" and the punctuation. If I say, "I asked my wife to quit work and come to work with me, who loves her" Do I need the comma between the words "me" and "who" (as it is now written in the previous sentence)? The sentence is just a sample sentence, and the best I could do off the top of my head. Thank you for your help, Chris

In this context I would say the comma is necessary. However, no comma is needed in "I asked my wife to quit work and come to work with the one who loves her - me". Rover

Yes. The sample sentence isn't very convincing as an idiomatic English sentence, is it? There's a reason that this was the best you could do. The pattern itself isn't very idiomatic in English. I imagine it would be quite difficult to find a sentence like this

The problem with this sentence isn't so much about placing a comma between "me" and "who" as rewording it to make so that it sounds and looks like, as CJ said " a convincing English sentence".
