“Love is not just finding the right person, but creating the right relationship,” anonymous.
Love is unreliable. I am not sure if there is still love but I do take care of him.
Ensuring he gets his food, wake up and go to work on time and making sure he gets bonding time with the little one.
It is not starting over. I don’t think we can ever start over since we have a child together. I know for sure I won’t stay in the relationship if we don’t have a child.
Marriage is tricky. Getting into it is easier than getting out of it.
A marriage needs management. Staying in one requires effort.
Why do people stay in marriages after betrayal and despite it not deriving joy.
I still get irritated with his presence on some days.
We sleep separately.
I still try to get away from intimacy but occasionally continuing with the deed.
I still respond “Ask him go find someone else,” when others asked when we are having another child.
I get access to all his money.
Sometimes he raises his voice and I’ll throw the move out and get a divorce card.
Despite all that, we are still married simply because I do not want my child to grow up without his father.
Someone asked me if I will leave the marriage. My answer is not for now.
Divorce is not the end goal but I will not strike off the possibility in future.
I thought men can be trusted after marriage since they made a vow. What I think I failed to do was to remind the other half what will break the marriage and be clear on the consequences.
Trust but not completely because the only person you can trust is yourself.
I treat my marriage like a work relationship. Get emotions out of the way. You can fall out and not like each other anymore but you have roles to fulfil and the best thing you can do is to be professional about it.
