Marriage Woes?

Had a nice heart-to-heart chat with my cousin "Pretty Mummy" the other night. We used to very close as we used to work together, and we are like sister to each other, as both of us has only 2 younger brothers each. But since she got married, and now with 2 young children, time together is quite impossible for her. We only caught up with each other again last year during the time when our grandma was sick and during her wake. Since then, we will occasionally meet or msn each other.

I know she is having problems with her hubby all along, but it is getting worse now. Her situation is worse than mine, but the good thing is he still cares for the children. For me, my girls are big enough for me to have the courage to walk out, but for her, the children are still young, 5 and 7, so it makes her impossible to walk out of the marriage. The only thing she can do now is to hope that everything will turns out well eventually, and I wish the best for her.

We were also talking about one of our other cousin, which we seldom meet, who has just divorced from her second husband, who is an abusive man. She was forced to walk out with her 2 toddlers. I think it must be a tough decision for her.

Well, I think everyone has their own limit of endurance, even how much we hope that the marriage will turn out well, but to a certain limit, if you cannot take it anymore, you just have to pick up the courage and walk out. Not every marriage is "happily ever after", but I know I have put in every effort to make the marriage works, but sadly, maybe my efforts are not enough. But as Jie says, when there are 4 of us, we are the "Unhappy Four", but now we are the "Happy Three". So I need to tell myself not to dwell on the past, but to look towards the future, and hope everything turns out well, and hopefully, we can have our own home and life soon.

All the best to Us...
