the increased frequency of swearing & overall harsh attitude is the by-product of what happens when the WAW loses respect & attraction for their husband. They are no longer attracted to their husbands and treat them harshly to get rid of them & scare them and they do it because it works.
Nope, I wouldn't say that is the case for me. It was rebellion. In my opinion and by most accounts, I had been a good little wife - SAHM, volunteered/worked at our church, homeschooled, good daughter, good sister, errand runner, housekeeper, cook (dinner on a beautifully set table EVERY night)...no mess in my life. Who can live like THAT?????
I didn't walk away b/c I was rebellious - we had troubles - but when I did walk away, I made some sort of connection to that good girl stuff not getting me anywhere in the long run, and I invoked the bad language as a means of displaying that I'd had it with all of that. I could cuss if I wanted to, damnit...so there. Immature rebellion.
