You have accepted an unhappy 15 years’ marriage as part of your life. Women love to think that they have the power to change a man…eventually. The fact is that ‘you cannot change the spots of a leopard’- the exact quote from you. Most people are impressed by your strength, your determination and your success in work. But I know you more than most people. Behind that restrained smile, you hide a heart so broken that it is beyond repair.
Then a recent perverse turn of events. All at once, every past suspicion emerges as holy truth, snapping every tenuous ligament of your nuptial vows. Yet you still utter to him “the house is always here waiting for your return.” Being a woman needs not accept all the absurdity her husband brings. Aren’t you capable of loving yourself? Don’t you recognize that you deserve happiness like everyone else?
“One unhappy person is better than 3.” Maybe you are right. It is no business of mine to voice any opinion without actually living your life. Nobody except you yourself can know what is more important for you. But should you need a listening ear, I will always be here.
