Your piece of advice for a troubled marriage

September 29, 2017 3:02am CST
What would be your best advice for a friend that is undergoing some problems in his or her marriage.Like having a partner that's not cooperative,doesn't help out in any chores, get home late and behave more like a live- in -lover than a marriedpartner that knows his or responsibilities. Would it be quitting or staying put to work the long yard despite all odds?

I think the two need to sit down and have a good talk. Communication is important. They need to talk about what they feel and what is an isn't acceptable. I wouldn't just leave without trying to fix things first. A relationship takes two and it is hard to make things work if only one person is trying.

Oh, I hate that kind of attitude for a partner. I told one time the boyfriend about caring enough for my feelings. I said we are partners and partners stay where the other one is. We should do the same thing and tell each other about what's bothering us. Well, if she is already fed up. She needs to think about it a hundred times. Talk to him and talk these things out.

Who's in that trouble? you or some friend of yours? I don't have the best advice since I'm single. But I think my advice would having a strong tone with the partner, sit things down and talk about the problem. If the partner still doesn't work things out, I'd break up with that person. He or she is taking the relationship for granted or just couldn't take it anymore.

honestly, my hubby doesn't help with chores at all, I am used to it because he said that he earns money to feed the family while my responsibility is to keep the house clean, safe and to feed him. Well that is fair. You can't expect the perfect spouse , just accept and cover one eye for each person flaws

All these things should be considered before marriage itself. One has to very carefully observe his or her partner; observe very carefully. But before marriage, people are in love an dI have heard love makes people blind. Before marriage, faults cannot be seen, and after marriage, it seem sonly faults can e seen. Of course, agood hearty talk could bring forth good results. If not, some other emthod. The best thing would be fo the individual to find out the method himself. One should sit down in a relaxed, calm and cool manner and ponder about the problem. when on eis seated thus, one can often think of a good method and thus the problem can be solved. But if the problem can never be solved, then divorce is the best option.
