We find that significant other; love is in the air, next thing we want to spend the rest of our lives with that one person so we get married.
A year thereafter, everything changes.
EVERYTHING!
You go home tired from work.
Wifey gets no help with the chores from him.
Hubby is out with friends, drinking again.
Claims he still loves you.
For all he knows I’ll always be here waiting on him… yeah right.
Hubby brings the friends over, which you got to entertain.
They come hungry and it’s up to me to get them fed.
Then wifey is all alone with baby, the very one which we both conceived.
It’s all about him; he gets all the freedom, why? Why? Why?
Oh and the friends.
All the care, love, attention, all that gone.
Where has it gone to?
All those commitments made on the big day, do they even matter anymore?
Feelings of neglect set in.
Does hubby not see how that one friend acts towards me?
Is he just turning blind eye?
The bottle gets way more attention and interest than baby and I ever had.
That very friend hubby trusts, neglected wifey decides to act up on the attention she gets from that friend.
All she wants is attention.
If she can get that much from, “Friend” then why not?
She begins partaking in unthought-of acts, things she never thought she would do.
Well if hubby trusts him then why not?
Married life can be tough.
Long hours of work, sharing chores… Most of the time you tend to drift apart when that mid-life crisis hits.
But talking about those big moments in one’s life both – good and bad, supporting one another, prioritising quality time with family are some of the many things one can do to strengthen your marriage. These tasks will help reduce the rather high infidelity and divorce rates
Let your marriage always be just like the very first day you met your partner and adore your children.
