An unhappy marriage can take a toll on your mind, body and soul.
From casual observation, regarding marriages of family members, friends and co-workers, I've noticed the majority are unhappy. The happy couples were in the minority.
The wives' and husbands' unhappiness shows in their faces. Both tend to look older than they are, beaten down, stressed out, bitter, angry and depressed. A few have even turned to alcohol, pills and extramarital affairs. They also have various health problems like ulcers, obesity, hypertension and migraines. Some are unusually harsh with their children. Others are emotionally and physically abusive toward each other. Overall, both husbands and wives have somehow lost their zest for life. They are mere shadows of their former selves - unlike the happy couples they were on their wedding day.
In some cases, the marriages became so unbearable - the wives packed up themselves and their kids, left, filed for divorce and went on to forge new lives.
Yet, some women criticized the wives for leaving, accused them of being selfish, for breaking up their marriages and reminded them that "God hates divorce."
In other cases, the marriages became so unbearable - the husbands packed up themselves, and sometimes, the kids, filed for divorce and went on to forge new lives.
However, some men praised the husbands for leaving, didn't accuse them of being selfish, for breaking up their marriages and didn't remind the husbands that "God hates divorce." Some family members and friends even congratulated the husbands for leaving such greedy, selfish, ungrateful b*****s, even when the wives didn't deserve such a label.
Why the double standard?
