The original poster is a very nice person.
I'm Kelly Shui, a heart detective.
It seems that there may be some entanglement and conflict in this relationship.
Perhaps we could analyze it together?
[100% trust and my husband's dislike]
If you would be so kind, I would like to ask you to talk about your relationship.
1: You used to trust your husband a great deal, and as your careers progressed, he began to feel impatient with you and resented you, even pointing his finger at your nose and scolding you for looking down on him.
In this relationship, it seems that you may have lost sight of your own needs and desires. You have given your love and trust away, while also accompanying your husband in his career. However, it's important to recognize that you deserve respect and consideration as well.
In reflecting on this relationship, I perceive some of the growth processes that have shaped the two individuals' union, which continue to evolve in this relationship.
I wonder if the original poster's husband was raised in an emotionally unstable, easily angered home by his parents.
I wonder if he was criticized and belittled from an early age, and if so, if that might have contributed to his low self-esteem.
Could I ask whether he used the parent-child model in your relationship? (Of course, these are all assumptions.)
Could you please tell me how you managed to communicate with him when he accused you?
The questioner is very capable and has successfully started several businesses in a short period of time, which suggests he is a hardworking and motivated person. When you were working together in the same unit, your husband was in the same unit as you. When there were problems in your relationship, was communication between you as a couple going well at that time?
1: The questioner is capable and dedicated. It is important to remember that we often have to switch things up in a relationship, and that's okay.
2: Work and family are both important, and it's important to find a balance between the two.
It would be interesting to know whether the questioner, who also has to work, will feel aggrieved and depressed if she has to take on the role of wife when she returns home.
3: Could I ask whether the questioner is the kind of person who gives completely and endures silently, or whether she likes to communicate with her husband and express her feelings and emotions?
4: Could you please describe your interaction pattern before Mr. Cheated?
As a student of family therapy, I am compelled to consider the potential influence of each couple's respective original family dynamics and the subsequent patterns of interaction within the nuclear family.
There is a saying that I find quite insightful: "Who we don't want to become, that's who we end up becoming."
Based on this assumption, it seems that the poster still hopes to break through in this relationship. If your relationship is so bad that you want a divorce, it's possible that you've considered that option before.
While divorce is a relatively simple process, repairing a relationship requires tolerance and patience, and it is important to maintain hope for the relationship.
If I might offer my personal advice, it would be:
1. It would be beneficial to consider personal growth, exploring one's inner self, and developing a deeper understanding of oneself and one's partner.
2. It might also be helpful to consider marriage counseling and family therapy for couples.
3: It could be said that the relationship between a husband and wife is interactive, and that interaction is a key aspect of the relationship.
4: Identifying and addressing challenges as they arise
5: It would be beneficial for us to recognize that we all grow and learn at different stages in our lives.
6: A successful marriage requires two people who are committed to a common goal and direction.
7: Perhaps it would be helpful to talk to your husband about the future and focus on the present.
It might be helpful to consider that seeing can be healing.
The questioner is courageous and willing to share their past experiences. These experiences still reside in your heart, and you recall the grievances and anger they evoke.
I would be grateful to understand what has motivated you to overcome these challenges and reach this point in your life.
I empathize with you, and as a woman, I can relate to your situation.
The body remembers the grievances suffered, and "the body never forgets." While your friends' words of encouragement were helpful in allowing you to overcome these challenges, the wounds remain. It may be beneficial to seek the guidance of a counselor to process these emotions and support you in healing.
I believe that when we understand ourselves, love ourselves, respect ourselves, and have our own boundaries, we will be in a better position to see our relationship with our husband and understand that loving someone and trusting someone means not giving away all of yourself.
It could be said that love and hate are equally strong.
It could be said that without love, there is no hatred. This may mean that resentment is caused by loving someone too much, which could give the other person the opportunity to hurt us.
As we grow personally and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, we can also gain a clearer perspective on the trajectory of our relationships. It's akin to embarking on a new venture with a solid foundation.
1: He also acts arrogantly in front of your family, which I imagine is difficult for you. I know I found it challenging to stick with him at the time, and he wouldn't share a room with me.
This process is one that requires a great deal of trial and error on your part. You give everything, but in return you get his disrespect. On the other hand, we have not yet learned to respect ourselves.
It is understandable that the relationship often determines the room.
2: I imagine you have experienced a great deal in the past three years, while also caring for your family. I am truly happy for you.
I admire your courage in starting your own business. It must have been a challenging decision, but it has undoubtedly given you a sense of security and proven your abilities.
You mentioned that your husband's career is facing some challenges. However, it seems that he has started to open up to me and is more willing to compromise when he sees the progress I'm making in my career.
A husband-and-wife relationship is not about one partner being stronger than the other. It's about equality, respect, freedom, love, appreciation, passion, and commitment.
3: Try to respect yourself, and if he doesn't respond, perhaps you could consider lashing out at him. It might be helpful to see if you can maintain a firm attitude and make him give in.
Could I ask whether this is the pattern of interaction you have always had?
You might find it helpful to explore the principles of nonviolent communication.
You might consider telling your husband how you feel and how his actions are affecting you.
4: Would you say that you are more concerned with the past than the present?
Perhaps it would be helpful to consider whether you still trust your husband as much as you did in the past.
The questioner may wish to consider writing about:
1: Please describe the happiest time of your acquaintance before marriage.
2: You might consider writing about his strengths and weaknesses.
3: You might also consider writing about your own strengths and weaknesses.
4: If you could go back to the beginning of this marriage, how would you choose to live it?
It seems that you are still dwelling on the past, when you ignored and disliked yourself. This has led to feelings of disgust towards his courtship, and ultimately, a sense of distancing from him.
I'm still struggling to move on because the pain is still there. I believe that the emotional wound is similar to a physical wound on the body. Without proper treatment, it won't heal on its own. It might be helpful to seek professional help, either from a doctor for the body or a psychologist for the mind, to help us understand and work through the wounds deep inside ourselves.
It is possible that rebuilding oneself may be a kind of "gift" to oneself, allowing us to grow and transform into a new self.
I wish you well.
I hope that the world can be a better place for you, and I love you.
Comments
I can't believe how much I've endured over these years. It's heartbreaking to see the person you once trusted so deeply turn into someone who causes you so much pain. I wonder if there's any way to rebuild what we had or if it's better to focus on my own healing and growth.
It's been a tough journey, but starting my own business has given me a new sense of purpose. Maybe it's time to prioritize myself and set boundaries for how I allow others, especially him, to treat me. I deserve respect and understanding, not criticism and abuse.
Every night I used to cry myself to sleep, feeling like I was losing myself in this relationship. Now that I have my own path, I feel a little more in control. I wish he could see the value in supporting each other rather than tearing each other down. It's hard to know if there's still a chance for us to find common ground.
The physical and emotional abuse has left deep scars, and it's not easy to move past that. Yet, with the support of friends and the success of my own ventures, I'm finding the strength to stand on my own. I hope he realizes that true partnership is about mutual respect and equality, not dominance and submission.
Looking back, I realize how much I sacrificed for his success. It's painful to think that while I was building him up, he was pulling me down. Now that I've found some independence, I need to decide whether to invest in rebuilding our relationship or focus on my own happiness and wellbeing.
