'My husband’s family is very codependent, and it drove me wild over the years. When we first got married everything had to be run by his parents, and no matter what my opinion was, he always let them have the final say. You can imagine the fights we had as a result of those feelings.'
"My husband’s family is very codependent, and it drove me wild over the years. When we first got married everything had to be run by his parents, and no matter what my opinion was, he always let them have the final say. You can imagine the fights we had as a result of those feelings."So, here are some pretty darn admirable women who forgave their spouses:"Since he was suffering from childhood trauma, I could not share my emotions openly.
We've both grown a lot since then. It was one of the only major fights we've ever had, and we've been together for over 14 years now. I think it made us stronger, but that doesn't mean that it didn't hurt.""An emotional affair. He claims he didn't realize he was even doing it , but when you’re deleting messages because you’re worried your wife will see, you should know it’s not appropriate.
He finally agreed to go to therapy, and it turned out he had bad anxiety from his parents' nasty divorce. That explained why he completely shut down when the topic came up. Therapy and medication turned things around — we got engaged about a year after that, and married this year. "My own internal dialogue. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve split and wanted to leave because of my internal issues. He triggered a lot because he wasn’t aware — I wasn’t aware how badly they morphed my interpretations of things. Things have gotten a lot better because we've both done the work. I’ve been communicating my needs and wants more accurately and timely.""My husband’s family is very codependent, and it drove me wild over the years.
"In our three decades together, he's confessed he's attracted to two of my closest friends . He even shared his fantasies with each of them.""I’ve had to accept that my partner and I agree on major things, but disagree on a lot of minor things. We can see situations very differently and I appreciate his view on issues I have rather than the fact he’s a 'yes man' in the relationship. But OMG sometimes it would just be nice to not have to explain my view to him.
"He had to learn to not feel that his first responsibility was his mom and brothers. It took 10 years to put his partner and kids first. It’s been 10 more blissful ones since."
