Imagine the heartbreak to find out that your other half is not your soulmate years after the marriage. Finding a partner who shares the same “wavelength” is equally important to finding someone who will have your back when you’re at your worst.
A Malaysian man has been recently thinking of ending his marriage after constantly being discouraged by his wife who rarely shows support in his life and career. In a confession post shared by MY(Malaysia), the man admitted to his frustration of going home to his wife every day because it’s a daily cycle of her raining on his parade.
While he did not disclose the kind of business he was running, the man said that his wife constantly puts him down by “predicting the future” – telling him that he will fail and never find success in his business. She even told him that he should be doing what she has been doing – work for others.
So the man did try getting employed but nothing seems to be good enough for his wife as she then started questioning him about his monthly wage.
“She is asking why is my salary so low.”
Due to the negative energy at home, he said that nothing is exciting anymore about going home, and he’s even thinking about letting his wife go for her to find someone better. But here’s the thing.
The marriage is blessed with kids, which prompted many netizens to think that it’s too late for the man to consider divorce.
“She’s your choice for a lifetime partner, did you think about your choice before you both were married?”
“You chose her. Now you’re giving up when you both have kids and you can’t even make decisions for yourself. Wonderful.”
“The sooner you leave her, the better.”
“You have kids now, isn’t it too late to realise this?”
“It really kills your self-esteem”
In the meantime, some also believed that there is a need for the couple to discuss the direction of their marriage… and divorce, if there is no common ground reached.
“You both need to talk. Sometimes, one of us abandons the feelings of the other party and when the cycle repeats, it hurts his dignity and naturally, the faded feelings will lead to a separation.”
“She’s obviously not a team player, and divorce is possibly the only choice. Of course, you need to consider your children’s life. They’re victims too. I wish you luck and hope you find what you need.”
“Invisible pressure. If this continues, it’ll kill your self-esteem. If there is still love, try to go through everything together.”
It’s important to have a supportive partner, and what would you do if you don’t get emotional support from the person you need the most?
