How long???


Ladies, why some of you like to stick to a marriage that sucks? Why some of you still want to live with an abusive husband and who never respect or appreciate you in anyway and treat women like trash? The men come back home for a quickie or otherwise according to their mood, even expecting the wives to go down on them all the times and after everything is finished they just go. Leave you to be alone all by yourselves sometimes for the whole night. Never involved in any other domestic matters. Sound familiar girls?  Yeah if it is not treating someone like trash then I don’t know what it is.
How many years you need, to know that you are being abused either physically or emotionally?

A friend I know, an educated one, she has to wait for 8 yrs or so to get out of her marriage. Even then it was not her who initiated it but him. This was after she supported him to become someone and bore him a child. The guy even humiliated her in public due to her plus size. During the divorcing process the guy even has guts to try to prove that she is not a good mother for the child by producing false evidence. He used the credit card transaction at the airport to try to prove that the wife bought alcohol and she is an alcoholic. In fact he is the one who asked her to buy that using her credit card. All she could do during the whole process was CRY! But luckily she has her child with her.

Recently I came to know a good friend of mine is going through rocky times in her marriage. In fact the guy was treating her like mentioned above ever since they got married. But only recently she has come to her sense and wanted him out of her life for good. Think the man will go once told to!!! He has nothing on his own, except for a house he share under both their names. He knows that he is nothing without her but think he will change?!?! He has grown so accustomed to the present way of life for last 15 yrs or so! So it’s not going to be very easy for her to get rid him. My advice to her is to be prepared for stormy times ahead. Obviously the woman is more or less alone in the fight since all are supporting the husband including the woman’s mother who still thinks women are men’s slave! Also because the husband was the mother’s choice and she can’t be wrong!

The wife is more educated than him and working and doing much better than him. She has even given him money up to RM20K to start something on his own. Even with her work and all she still does everything a normal wife does everyday like cooking, laundry, taking care of the children, their studies, preparing everything for the husband and sleeps barely 5hrs a day except for on Sunday. 

Ever since the husband more or less comes to notice the changes in his wife he started acting like he has changed. There was this moment where the wife actually pours her heart out and told him to ‘get out of her life’. Since then he was acting as though he has changed. But my advice to her will be men don’t change overnight, especially men with 15 or 20 yrs of daily habits and routines. Hope the woman doesn’t simply see this as positive changes in him and don’t simply fall in his arms again! Not to mean to break up a marriage but common mistakes women do is believe that their men simply have changed!
The man after his tries to win back the wife has failed he has started using psychological attacks like suspecting her of having relationship with another man, checking her hand phone, asking the children about her and even try to have sex with her forcefully and as a latest attempt pinned her down just to show that he can do what he wants to her if and when he wants to! Even has threatened her by saying if she continues to treat him like this there will be more to come!

Hope my friend will have a clear and sound mind in her attempt to get out of this marriage for her own and children’s sake. Do it and do it sooner than later. Good luck and God bless.

Hmmmmmmm geram!

Being in a relationship has been compared to being on drugs, the highs being really high and the lows being the pits, both ends with withdrawal symptoms. Unfortunately when the relationship begins to go sour we tend to do what drug users do, we chase the Dragon.

We do any and everything in our powers to get our relationship back to the way it was when we first started it. We try so hard to reclaim those feelings and the excitement that went along with it that it makes it nearly impossible to let go of a relationship that in our hearts we know is not only dying but on life support. The only thing left to do and the most humane thing really, is to pull the plug.

We’ve all been here haven’t we? At one time or another in our lives. It’s a hard decision to make, sorta like, should I stay or should I go? You run all these scenarios through your mind and you convince yourself that with enough prayer, hope and wishes your relationship can survive. You feel as though if you pull the plug on it the guilt of giving up will eat you alive. Couple that with the feeling that you really believe in your heart that your partner will change back to his former self and you’ll wake up and discover it was all a very bad dream.

We all go through these feelings, both men and women. However, one noticeable difference is that women seem to hold on so much longer. They believe that the men they love will revert back to the person they fell in love with. They believe with all their hearts that somewhere within the man that they are clinging to is the guy who used to make them laugh, make them feel safe, make them feel cared for. They feel and hope that he’ll snap out of it before long and things will be the way they were.

I am sorry to tell you this ladies, but it rarely ever happens this way. When your partner changes in a relationship in a negative way towards you and the way he once treated you he’s gone he just hasn’t bothered to tell you yet.

Women have this way of glossing over the faults of the men they love. You tend to make excuses for his actions to your friends and loved ones. How many of you have told people close to you that his change is because he’s under stress at work or for some other reason? When secretly you feel helpless because you really know that stress has nothing to do with it, he simply changed.

Your only question should be, is the changed version the real him and he fooled you into thinking he was someone else? Or is the change because of someone else? Tough question to have to ask yourself, huh? Only he knows and I am sure he’s not about to tell you, yet!
So when things change to a point where you are not sure who he is, how long should you wait to see if he will change back to who he was? Until your relationship is dying and you don’t know what if anything you can do to repair it?
How many promises to change should you allow him to break before you pull the plug? One? Two? Three or more? Is there any acceptable amount for you?
Here’s something I did when I had girlfriends in the past and the relationship began to go south. We all have to admit that changes in the way someone feels about you are subtle at first, but if you pay attention after several changes you see that they become magnified.
When things that were important in your relationship are no longer important to him, that’s a change you’d better not ignore. Things such as talking to you daily on the phone, or seeing you at least twice or more a week. Think back to the beginning, he was adamant about these things, now they’re not as important, why not? What the hell changed?

When it’s not important for him to make sure you’re safely home from work, or he begins to arrive later and later to pick you up from work. That’s a change and you need to recognize it for what it is.
When he fails to show up without calling you, or begins to consistently break preplanned opportunities to spend time with you. That’s a change, especially when this was important to him in the beginning.

When he starts to give you a multitude of excuses for his absence or tardiness, that’s a change! Especially if this wasn’t happening when you first began the relationship.

Every girlfriend I ever had before I got married, I can tell you the exact moment I knew the relationship was going to end. Honestly! Why? Because I watched the changes begin and I addressed them with the person and after accepting the apologies and hearing the stories I allowed them three and only three more opportunities to make a mistake that I felt affected our relationship in a negative manner.

I always stuck to this formula because although I may have been in love with them, I loved me more. You have to love yourself more because if you don’t neither will
he or anyone else. By loving yourself more it makes it easier to disengage from the relationship therefore saving you the heartbreak that will surely come.

When I say disengage from the relationship I am saying it meaning that you should slowly begin to let go. Mentally and emotionally you should be preparing yourself to be without him. You should begin sooner than later and by the time you pull the plug it will be because you’ve come to the realisation that you can actually live without him. Why? Because you began preparing yourself when the cracks first began to form. By the time he has made and broke his 3rd promise to change you’re ready to move on.

The only alternative to this is to attempt to force him to change back and as I said before, in relationships this very seldom happens. When men change drastically in a relationship, generally it’s because they are ready to move on. Sorry. Holding on simply makes the pain that much greater. Preparing yourself is the best way to survive without suffering too much heartache, and if you disengage at the right time you’ll suffer little effects if any.

The good side of this method if you haven’t figured it out yet, is that it leaves him wondering if you ever loved him to begin with. Who has the broken heart now?

So if you’re in a relationship right now that has started going south, start disengaging from it now. Address the issues with him in a calm fashion, listen to his promises to change or any other stories he cares to tell you and remind yourself that you need to protect your own heart, no one else will! Show how much you love and respect yourself by simply letting go slowly. Don’t give him any more tears, he doesn’t deserve them and you deserve better anyway. After the initial conversations about the issues if there is no change it doesn’t matter because you already know what the end game is going to be anyway.

Nothing in this world is permanent, it’s all temporary. Life on this planet is temporary and so is some of the love that men will profess for you in the beginning of relationships. If he cannot hold up his end of the deal and love you forever, you really don’t need him.


Especially when somewhere there is a man looking to do exactly that, Love you forever!

I guess some women dont have the confidence in them to stand up against society, family and friends.They take all the crap these guys give them and wait with hope that one day he would change. Will leopards change their spots? This is what they fail to understand. Stand up and you will see be amazed to how much strength followed by confidence if pushed to their limits....So ladies love and respect should be given to someone who returns it to you. Dont let it be a one sided love and sacrific. He will enjoy himself when hes young and he knows when hes sick and old hes got a place to return too. Meanwhile you have lost your youth and dreams waiting and waiting for love and respect to be returned....this is my point of view as a woman whose gone thru life wasting it for 19 yrs before realising what I have wasted waiting in denial.
