Vick and Jill's Marriage

Vick coughs a lot and is often exhausted. He smokes twenty cigarettes daily, sometimes more than twenty.

This man doesn't realize how his bad habits affects his lovely family.

The constant aches and pains in his muscles are increasing daily, and this is causing bad communication between Vick and his wife, Jill.

Vic's focus is on working, eating and sleeping.

Actions that are destroying a good marriage are not visible to the husband. Vic fails to acknowledge that it is not getting any better than that, the poor communication is ruining their marriage. Too much alone time is not doing Jill any good for herself.

She has become a different person. The alone time, and, sometimes depressed emotions from spending each day by herself have made Jill feel most vulnerable.

The least amount of time Jill spends alone and with her husband, Vick, is silent and Jill sits there hoping for a conversation to break the ice, but nothing is said for hours.

The over forty hours of work a week and twelve hours a week spent with Jill, have made Jill feel alone in her marriage.

The other problem with being alone is Jill has no one to talk to about the issues she is faced with within her marriage.

Jill and Vick have been together for many years and have taken each other for granted in some ways.

The problem lies with the fact that Vick won't make any time for Jill. Time for this couple is of the essence. He has taken Jill for granted and thinks that is how their lives should be as a married couple.

Work is on his mind even when they are together. Vick flirts with his female coworker, and he doesn't think his behaviour is inappropriate. Jill has been hurt and is tired of crying and feeling this pain from her husband.

He doesn’t see what he is doing that is slowly killing their marriage. Nothing to Vick is inappropriate or wrong in his flirting behaviours.

The lives of two people have become complicated by the behaviour of one person in the marriage. Vick comes home after work and expects Jill to serve him.

There is no conversation except for, ''Give me my food.''

''What is to eat?''

''Make me a coffee!''

Thereafter, Vick falls asleep on the couch.

While Jill hopes to converse with her husband there is nothing for her to stay and wait for it.

The female coworker gets the best of Vick at work while his wife Jill gets tired and asleep Vick.

Every day Jill is faced with the same behavior and routine. It has made Jill unhappy and less communicative.

Pleasure time together as husband and wife is a thing of the past. As much as Jill insinuates to Vick, that she needs to be with him intimately Vick ignores Jill's advances.

Vick gets out of bed every morning without looking to the other side where Jill lies asleep.

They sleep in separate beds and on each side of their beds.

There in between lies this huge gap like arm's length away and that is selfish of Vick to sleep that way.

He doesn't see the hurt he has caused his wife, and this has destroyed a big part of Jill's life. Such signs show marriage is falling apart.

So, could he be making the same mistakes again?

Did Vic's marriage end from his flirtatious behaviour with other women?

As Vick is doing just that in his second marriage. Flirting with a female coworker and sharing a lot more than he should have with the coworker.

Vic and Jill have lost touch with each other. He finds his happiness at work and home he has different behavior.

The inviting smiles from the too-friendly coworker and Vic's smiles show a lot more than just a working relationship.

Vick has worked with women before and Jill didn't have a reason to be jealous. In this case,

Jill can't fight off this gut feeling she has about this coworker and Vic, her husband.

The excitement they have for each other when speaking on the telephone breaks Jill's heart.

There is this other woman who thinks Vick belongs to her. Too much alone time has given Jill the time to create her own life, the one without Vick in it.

Two hearts that were once so close are torn apart and are something that only Jill can feel in her heart.

Jill has adapted to change, to being alone, and to having her friends spend time with her more rather than with her husband who has drifted apart from her.

On the contrary, Vick has no social life, except for work and closeness with his coworker.

The skill of communication is poor, and Vick fails to see the issue here. Vick tries to ignore important conversations.

Anything complex sends Vick into an angry mood. Jill is not allowed to bad mouth the coworker to Vic, he defends her through conversations.

Two people who shared most of their lives at some point failed in their marriage, and don't see right from wrongdoing.

The fact that Vick doesn't make his wife a priority is sad for Jill.

No need to yell about the issue though Vick tends to do that. He raises his voice for a little issue.

It sounds easy to dictate to someone how wrong they are, and it is most difficult when you are in that situation.

It doesn't mean you have to ask for a divorce if you see nothing is your way or right. A marriage takes two people and two work through it.

When one of the partners has failed to see how they have destroyed their marriage it shows neglect and less care for each other.

How can Vick flirt with his coworker in front of Jill, and not care for how Jill feels about his behavior?

Each time Jill feels pain from Vic's behaviors she drifts further away from Vick. Always discuss your concerns before you are on the deep end of the ocean.

What got you together in the first place?

Remember that and maybe you can save your almost ruined marriage. The different mindset can’t be changed for Vick to realize his mistakes, especially when Vick only sees it his way.

In a marriage, not everything is about love and sometimes just isn’t enough for two people to stay together.

Under certain circumstances, a commitment is not for everyone.
