How should I handle MLC direct lying?

[Truegritter]

"Our M doesn't entitle us to anything. We are not entitled to anything from our spouses."

What then are marriage vows? Don't they entitle us to expect respect and honesty and love?

Webster def:

entitlement- belief that one is deserving of or entitled to certain privileges

We trust our spouse to be true to their vows. We have faith they will love us and be honest.

Not a guarantee. Not a right.

BUT

You cannot control another can you?

The only thing you control is you. Give what you give. Love as you would love.

For me that means express what you are and what your vows mean to you.

Not in reaction to what you are NOT getting at the moment.

Place your faith in yourself.
