Kimberly,
I enjoyed the first story and this one.
A lot of lessons for women and especially for young women. When unhappiness shows in the family, no one benefit. Children and adults suffer and possible grandchildren suffer too.
Relationship is hard work, but it can’t be exchanged with 24/7 fighting.
My professional experience shows, bad relationship starts from the first date or the first year of marriage.
Agreed, if you’re sick of your partner’s bad behavior, leave. Your life is more important than abuse/maltreatment.
They are many men and women out in the world for you to choose again and again.
I appreciate you writing this!
