I would talk more to my parents, ignoring my wife, and ignoring her emotional needs to spend time with friends and family members.
I would be out working late at night to show that NOTHING IN MY LIFE CHANGED!
When in reality, I should have had things changed in my life. If my wife is there, I SHOULD BE SPENDING TIME WITH HER AND NOT OUT WITH FRIENDS ANYMORE, BECAUSE PRECISELY I HAVE A WIFE.
When in reality. I should have taken care of my wife, over and above my family too because I have someone who is JUST ENTIRELY MY RESPONSIBILITY, and being with her doesn't make me a bad son!
I would praise my mother, and spend time with my family, ignoring her, to make sure I was seen as a good and dedicated son.
When in reality I should have spent it on my wife, who was my own responsibility, and praised her as I had married her.
I would never come in between when people were making her feel uncomfortable at my home, by discussing her habits or making remarks that appeared HARMLESS but were HURTFUL.
When in reality, I should have ensured she gets the RESPECT in my home, that if someone makes her feel uncomfortable, I talk to them and make sure that they see HER as a family, as a part of me.
I was ignoring my wife to please others,
I was breaking our relationship and the only thing it was doing was making her depressed, making me too empty and UNCONSCIOUSLY GUILTY OF MY ACTIONS, my heart internally craved to be RIGHT WITH HER but the baggage would suppress that feeling!
It was in therapy that I realized THAT I HAD TO CHANGE WITH MY NEW ROLE.
OVERNIGHT MY WIFE'S LIFE WAS COMPLETELY CHANGED AROUND ME. The least I could do WAS ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AND CHANGE MINE AROUND HER!
