Heywire is a wife, friend and partner not a therapist or a social worker.
If she thinks like that, she will have a hard time detaching when things get rough. Flip over into wife, friend and partner when the relationship is good.
Why do you think someone should hold to the ideals of wife (or husband), friend and partner when the spouse and the marriage is in a dysfunctional state? Those roles are better served in a healthy, functional marriage. Isn't it an unspoken contract to expect that she can be a wife, friend and partner when her H may not feel likewise or the marriage cannot support it? Isn't this self deception?
