I know a story about a woman. She was young when she decided to get married and she didn't know what really to expect fro marriage. It is normal for people to make mistakes moreover when they are young. So she has a child and she was happy that she has it. Actually she is happy with him now, too (the child was 5 years old boy). The woman was a writerand one day she met a man of her life, a professor who lived in France. She fell in love and she decided to leave her husband and to try to be happy with him. Her husband didn't give her the child so she run away without the little boy. She started living in France with the man of her life. But after 3-4 years the professor died and she was alone, totally alone. But she knew what real love is. Do you think that her decision to leave her life was right? And What do you think about the whole story?

leaving your husband is one thing..leaving your child is another. i don't understand mothers like that.if i had to give up my child in exchange,i wouldn't do it. if her husband was a bad man,she could at least file for custody rights.

There are women who doesn't have enough courage to do something like it. But however, her husband didn't give her the right to feel free. He forbid her to go outside with her friends. He told her that her only job is to stay at home and to take care for the boy and the house. I think she was right leaving him but I can't say that it was right to leave her child.

Her husband didn't let her be free. Does it mean that she is obliged to live with her master?

people make alot of decisions on impulse never thinking of whom they left behind and i think sacrifice is a real trait of true love / meaning she should have given up the impulse to leave and made the sacrifice to stay in her marriage and continue to raise her child and love her husband- my own story is that of my wife leavin me and fighting me and takin my children with her rich boyfreind and ended up leavin her and she allready caused so much damage things were never right again life sucks !! and my children know im the one that made life for them inside their hearts

I think it as a case of immature decission. Her decission to leave her husband and child is quite inhumane. She preferred luxury to peace. But in anyone's life, peace is more important than luxury. In case peace is ignored, then the situation of unpeace gradually develops and among all luxuries the person finds real helplessness. That is due to the simple and strict law of Nature! That is we all must take well regard of the items or persons those are avilable to us in its natural course. Otherwise peace reduces and leaves the situation in helpless condition. Thanks.

She didn't choose luxury. She went there because she loved the other man. She would go there even if he had lived somewhere else, in very poor country. She doesn't care about money, she wanted only freedom and she couldn't receive it from her husband.

sounds like my first marriage, except for the professor and the France part. my first wife left me and two children to be "free and happy" again. so i know the story. granted, i allowed my wife full access to the children, as i believe children need two parents to be well adjusted. it was tough, but they turned out all right. who's to say what would have happened if she had stayed and been unhappy, making everyone else unhappy. besides, i wouldn't be with the wonderful woman i've been with for the last 12 years if she stayed. on a side note.....the ex has had several "relationships" since she went out to be happy. what goes around, comes around.

maybe she is just searching for things lacking in her life with her husband. we are not perfect and we stumble every now and then but the good thing is we gonna stand up again. i think the woman should go back to her husband and reconcile and must not do it again. they must have a heart to heart talk. Love is lovelier the second time around. :)
