“I feel guilty with how great the kids are because I still feel I should have been able to do better.
Hah! And I didn’t have Instagram trad wives to compare myself.”

” He gives so much grace to everyone else; the handyman, his coworkers, friends, mailman, etc. — none for me.
It’s hard because you want to be here for the kids, but your emotions take a hit constantly when you’ve got young kids”

“We’ve worked hard to weather these changes and have successfully navigated the waypoints in our journey, but I wish we had some foreknowledge of the journey somewhere along the way

“I’ll say, ‘Please stop right there and listen to me now.’ He’ll apologize, and I’ll say what I need to. Our modes of communication are pretty different
, but it’s a work in progress.”

“This has been the one big thing we argue and fight about — and it makes me question the marriage altogether.

” I know so many women who are staying in unhappy marriages because it’s too difficult to get out.
They’re deeply unhappy but complacent. Marriage shouldn’t be miserable.”

” No one tells you that when your partner is intentionally hurting you in any way, they broke the vows first.

“Now, my boyfriend and I have communicated what needs to happen when we are upset; I need to go for a walk to sort my thoughts, and he needs to dive into a project. We give ourselves a couple of hours to think, and then, we come together and talk, not argue, and resolve or make a plan to resolve. If it’s close to bedtime, we hug, hold hands in bed, and agree to talk the next day. Advice: Don’t nag, get defensive, or be aggressive with your opinions and expectations. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes, treat them respectfully, like someone at work, and seek to understand

“This started a journey of transplants (I was able to give him my kidney in 2019 after his original transplant kidney rejected, but his transplanted pancreas was still doing well at that point) and eventual rejection. I fought to do everything possible to keep him alive after he was deemed too fragile for a third transplant.
My husband passed away on February 29. I still can’t believe he’s gone. We fought so hard.”

“Things are calmer now. We’ve definitely weathered some storms, and the financial stuff is still an issue we are dealing with after 13 years. If I could go back and warn my younger self about what was ahead, I don’t think I would do it.
I love my children more than anything, and they are the greatest part of my life, so I’m glad I didn’t know. I never would have agreed to all the ‘surprises’ I’ve had in my marriage because I didn’t take the time to thoroughly learn what I was getting into.”

“I truly hope I’m not in the minority who don’t feel marriage is hard. Mine was a joy, filled with laughter and compassion.”

“I also have to absorb everyone’s emotional burdens 24/7. It’s exhausting.”
— j4287b3497
“We’re not always going to have the same goals, interests, or values sometimes, but it doesn’t mean that the other has to change ‘like right now’ or things are over. Learning to be happy with ourselves as individuals and to support each other even when we feel disconnected is crucial, and it took a long time to realize that being on different pages doesn’t mean the love is gone.
