I share my experiences, my emotions and believe in myself. I am positive, confident and love life.

Falling Apart Marriage

Everything changed, all disappeared from her life, and a new life began immediately.

She did not know anything about love, what to say, or how to approach the situation, and did what she felt was right.

A difficult moment and nobody would ever know how she felt, and what would have made her feel happy.

Most concerned about herself and nothing else was there to make her feel normal for a long time.

Life went on and so did the good and the bad days. However, life for had changed and no one understood the reasons for her reactions to that new lifestyle.

She faced many challenges alone; the hardest part was not being able to talk to anyone about her problems. Nothing felt the same and would be the same in her life.

What was will no longer be, and the present moment showed her more and that made her stronger each day.

Her pain and sadness had escalated but her memories would not disappear.

Only, she knew how hard her life was and still, if he has not said a word often he would avoid conversations that he knew would upset her.

Communication gradually faded.

The more she sacrificed for him the more he wanted and did not think of how much she gave up being with him.

They are so different, as strangers say, from the once-in-love married couple.

Her choice was the hardest, and his decision made her the choice that caused many upsetting moments.

If only she knew then what she knows now how different her life would have been?

The rapidly changing life increased her knowledge unexpectedly and helped her through hard times.

He never touches her like he once did, the feelings are there but closed inside, and that makes their lives so estranged.

They fall asleep like strangers, and with forceful kisses at night like something they must do to be together.

His pride got in the way of their marriage. The past issues of his previous bad marriage have been carried over to the second marriage.

Bad habits from his past life have been carried over to his current marriage. He does not see his ways and habits as having such great effects on his marriage.

He sees what he wants from their marriage. The problem here, this man does not believe in conversations and in correctly solving the issues.

Avoidance is key to him, and that is failing a good marriage. She is always there but he can only be when he can, though that is rare.

It is most difficult to have a conversation with him because he does not understand her conversations and gives no attention to his wife.

He tries to not hear what she has to say and stares at the television to block out her conversations.

The more that happens the more she feels pushed away from the actual relationship and her husband.

Why does he behave that way?

Does he not see what she has sacrificed for him?

He never buys her any gifts, be it something small, or to show some appreciation. It is all taken for granted.

She will be there waiting on him and that is just how he sees it. Every birthday and wedding anniversary is just like any other ordinary day, he never shows interest in those special days.

This man has no time for her and that makes her feel like any other woman living around her. He does not make her feel special anymore.

Everything that was there is no longer anymore and her husband has pushed her to one side. He doesn't think of the way her life has been affected. She has stopped crying about what she knows will never be the same again.

Happiness took a while to come back in her life and after all, that, hoping and wishing for some miracle to make him come back in her life as he had before, that no longer exists.

It will not be like it has never happened but feels as if she has moved on, and enjoying her life in some ways.

The past is hard to put there was it to be. In many ways, this courageous woman has found herself in a place she had no idea of when she hastily came to live in.

Her good life has been taken away because he did not give much thought to his hasty decisions.

He only thought of himself, and not of her needs that is why at times it had been so hard for her to cope with life.

Life for her has always been great until she realized what she lost will not be and what she misses in her life that her husband can no longer give to her.

Too much time alone showed her there was no other life for her but loneliness, and after growing into that life of loneliness she saw more of herself.

She learned more about what she wanted from life. His bad past experiences from his previous marriage have caused friction.

He sees what he knows and what he thinks is right and how he thinks everything should be.

A man of many words who made those mistakes in his past marriage and had to put up with a bossy wife who wanted a rich lifestyle.

He could not give her that so gradually they went their separate ways.

Money was their major problem and won't see that he has brought that past problem into his current marriage. She must grasp that and not say a word about these issues to him.

Her focus is on her life and does not get into any complications with simple conversations that could cause many arguments.

A life that she once loved with her husband has become so bitter and different makes her wonder the much she has to live with him and tolerate that behaviour.

He does not have the time for his wife and will not take her anywhere on an outing, which ought to add one more issue about the almost failing marriage.

It is often the cost of going out, but he feels free to go out when with other people. He shows her no free time and that is getting less and less each day.

They have drifted apart and are going further and further away from each other.

He will not make any adjustments to their marriage and she has had enough of trying to make something of what no longer exists. Nothing in her life will ever be the same again.

She lost the man she once knew and he feels she has changed in some ways, but he does not get the point in his marriage.

He wants more from her, that is his point.

To him, their marriage is normal and has no issues. The more silent the better they are together. When communication fails in a marriage slowly everything else fades away.

As much as she had tried to get through to him, he would not see things her way. It is like his way or no way.

He feels that if she is not satisfied then she should leave. Through all times she remains in a not-so-good marriage. A man not capable of having a wife and caring for her

He manages to please everybody else, but he will not go out of his way for her and has no intentions of doing that

His negative mind shows that he does not care much for her and has been like that for some time.

Her opinions do not matter what others suggest to him he will do, and what she suggests to him is often overlooked, and he does not care to give it a second thought.

They started well, but twenty years later, it feels empty to her, like it never happened. She has been positive about herself and kept their marriage

Nothing in her life will ever be the same again.

Can their love hold their marriage together even though so much has changed between them?
