Mutual respect, affection, and understanding should be the foundation of a marriage. Sometimes, though, one of the partners acts as though they don’t want the marriage to last. This can easily result in ongoing arguments and perhaps breakup.
A lady posted on MamaMia about how her five-year marriage ended after she unintentionally saw a text her husband sent to his friends, in which he called her by a nickname that made her feel as though she had been smacked across the face.
Their kid was two years old at the time, and her husband was frequently away from home because he felt “he didn’t have to,” never informing her of his whereabouts or who he was meeting.
She made a concerted effort to defend his choices, pointing out that he was the family’s primary provider and that she was content to allow him some downtime in exchange for money from her parents to maintain his company.
She had thought that when their son was born, things would change, but her husband had been like this from the start.
“He persisted in having lengthy Friday lunches, which frequently resulted in Friday night beverages as a means of networking. In her letter to the outlet, she stated, “He has never missed a single week of playing Thursday night sport.
Furthermore, he refused to clarify whether or not he intended to get engaged in her and her son’s lives.
The woman’s husband’s phone “kept pinging” one Friday morning while he was taking a shower, so she decided to check it just in case.
She discovered a text message sent to his pals that said, “Don’t think I’m able to attend this evening. SWMBO will decline.
She was sure there was a reference to her, but she couldn’t quite figure out what that meant.
Her spouse gave her the most nonchalant response when she questioned him about it. He said, “It means ‘She Who Must Be Obeyed.’”
The woman was miserable. When he was a teenager trying to sneak out of the house to hang out with his buddies, she felt like he treated her like his mother.
“After five years of marriage, he would perceive me as this.” It seems that my sole request for him to provide some accountability regarding his movements was too onerous. And he had told his pals that kind of thing about me,” she wrote.
The lady was “mortified” by the moniker he gave her and realized there was “no coming back from that” when she saw no one in the chat room questioned the acronym, suggesting he had used it previously. This partnership didn’t feel like what a marriage or family ought to be.
She added, “I knew at that point that both her and her son deserved better than that. I was never, ever, going to kiss, let alone sleep with, a man who called me that after ten years together – even after becoming his son’s mother.” She decided to leave her spouse and take her kid since she had never envisioned living a life where she was not appreciated where she was meant to be loved.
Her decision received mixed reviews, and her tale attracted a lot of attention.
