This was me standing up to the abuse, the ignorance, the “pass” everyone had to emotionally torture me in name of marriage!
I don’t know why we still except women to break their emotions, be unloved, be treated badly and still be ok with it and serve everyone as though they have no feelings!
It was in therapy that my husband too eventually understood that even if he was expected to tolerate half of what I was made to be ok within name or adjustments, the isolation, the denial of love, the comparisons, the ignored treatment, the disrespect for my ambitions and views, he would have long left or being broken! He changed a lot and empathized with my situation a lot and felt sorry for his ignorance too!
