Eat, pray, love is the perfect example. I HATE that movie !
I hated it, too. I was looking for something to fire me up towards building a new relationship and that movie took me the other way for a bit. At the same time, I could relate because that is what my wife (still waiting for that x next to wife thanks to her excessive court trips) acted like. It was as though she heard someone whisper that I was the guy wrecking her life and that only by escaping could she be free.
How often does running away free someone?
When those thoughts pop up, I have to remind myself that I did good to put in a lot of work and time toward a healthier marriage instead of being a coward.
