Love Yourself

Quote From: wifeyblues

I have been married almost two years and my husband and i fight ALL THE TIME. I watch dr.phil everyday and i try to apply his words of wisdom to my relationship but it is just hard. My husband and i are so diffrent and we come from diffrent families.  I am or use to be a happy go lucky person i had so many friends and i looked at life with such a diffrent aspect than many others. but my husband is very diffrent he is rude and never sees good in anything he doesnt have any goals and is so selfish. I blam his family and the way he was raised. I love to be around my family and love to have my best friend who might as well be my sister and her family over all the time and my husband is so rude to them it has gotten to the point that my mom will not come over and wont talk to me on the phone when he is around because of his manorism. He says really mean things to me all the time and i cry just about everyday. Everyone that knows us has told me to leave but dont want to give up on him, I love him and  i want things to work. does anyone have any advise that would help me make my marriage last/ 

You need to love yourself before you can truly love anyone else.  You have to truly believe in your heart that you deserve happiness and deserve a man who treats you like his Queen.  I've been in a lot of relationships like yours.  Once I decided that I was no longer going to settle for just any man I stopped putting up with this B.S.  Some woman believe that   "Any man is better than no man"   Not True.  You have to believe in yourself.  Be honest with yourself, you don't love this man, how could you love someone who treats you this way.  You love what you wish he could be.  You know what you need to do, I hope you find the courage.  Believe me "You will survive" without him and maybe you will find your true self.   Good Luck

Does God make mistakes?

I have been through much of the same and more. I will not beat around the bush...leave! I had to do the same and guess what? He changed. I believe men who act this way toward someone they love have issues because of their own upbringing. It was probably a learned behavior. I don't think that everyone can overcome these issues but you just might have one that can! If he loves you he will change. I don't understand why god left out so many crucial parts to a man's genetic make-up. We see men creating children (speaking from experience)and leaving for good without a goodbye. We see men struggle(not saying all men) with communication when we are natural communicators. Showing affection seems to be a much more difficult task. These and many more reasons are why relationships have such difficulty. The differences. Put your nurturing qualities aside and be him for once. Kick his butt to the curb. If he truly loves you he WILL change...on his own. If not you are better off alone, with your family and friends who love you!
