I wish I had been strong enough to keep my marital problems to myself but I really needed to talk to someone, particularly around the holidays right after the BD. I should have just vented here and to my IC because now I face the judgment of friends who cannot understand at all why I would stand for someone who is disrespecting me to such a degree. Even when I explain that I took my vows very seriously and believe that the covenant was also with God, I still get the "Huh? Well, God did not mean for you to be a doormat" kind of comments. And when I say that I also am giving it my all for the kids so I will have a clear conscience that I was not selfish and tried to keep my family intact, friends are like "Well, nobody should stay just for the kids. Many single moms raise their kids solo and they turn out just fine."
