I am catching up with posting online my articles.
Today I talked with a friend of mine who has been going through very difficult time in her marriage. We are looking here at conflicts, violence, addiction, abuse, anger etc. - all the things which have nothing to do with the love which her husband has promised her at the altar on the wedding day. This has been going on already for many years and on top of it, it is getting ever worse and it is happening more frequent.
And I have asked my friend during our conversation why has been allowing it for so long. She has got in tears and she told me that at some point in her life and marriage she did not act although she knew that she should. She kept her mouth shut for the sake of peace. You know... she did not want confrontation with her husband and thus she supressed it within herself and she kept her mouth shut for many years. And now she regrets it obviously.
And then I have asked her what is she going to do about it now ?
She told me that her husband has left and now he lives in the summer house. And then she also told me that "she hopes that now there will be no more problems".
Now... whether this is the end of the problems with her husband I seriously doubt because sooner or later he will come back and the nightmare will continue. But this not about whether the husband comes back or does not.
It is all about this woman who was afraid to confront her husband. It is all about her stopping being a victim. It is all about her reclaiming her power and strength, stand up, confront and say "till here no further".
You'll see... this woman has been hoping for many years that the things will get better in her marriage ( on their own ) and in this hope she did not act. But unfortunately instead of the things getting better it only got worse. Now... this is a very common problem within big part humanity and thus I will continue in the next articles discussing in more details about this problem.
To be continued...
