Marriage, Children, And The Downs And Ups
Hi Dr. Laura,
I have been listening to you whenever I can, for more years than I am sure either of us want to mention. I have been meaning to write and now is the time.
I just wanted to let you know and your followers know, that marriage is hard at times but worth it. Back when my girls were in lower elementary school, I was struggling and decided to leave my husband. Yes, I was having an affair. I didn't want to listen to anyone and just pushed through until I got my divorce. It wasn't that I hated my husband, I just wanted something different. My girls went back and forth between our two homes. When my older daughter started having nightmares almost every night when she was with me, I realized how selfish I was being, that I would do anything for my children to help them. I went back to my husband. We were separated/divorced six months. It was not easy at first, but I acted into the feelings of love. The nightmares ended and both girls turned out fine, after all.
Now, our marriage is so strong; I could not even imagine looking at anyone else. We have celebrated 31 years of marriage. (We don't count that bump.) We have such fun together. I just want others to know, to hang in there, that it is worth it. Sure, he may be frustrating at times, and that we women have to bend. But do it.
