I believe I am a good wife. I was married at the age of 19
and by 21 I had two kids. We met in high school when I was 17 and so was he. We
got married right after high school, wll a year later. I went to college for
one semester on a scholarship and decided it was more important to get married.
He jointed the Marines and we moved from AZ to CA. it was very hard to move
away from family. He was very self-absorbed and mentally abusive. We had our
two kids and towo dogs and lived on the base. I hated my life. He was not supportive or helpful. I had to take
care of our two small girls, run an in home daycare business, and work at a
bank on the weekends and we still never had enough money. He like to spend it
on things he wanted. We were then stationed in MO at Ft. Wood, I hated it when
we first moeved here. It was cold and even more lonely than CA. When I was 30 I
had had enough. I divorced him and the next year I found my soul mate. My
husband now appreciates me and has respect for me. Going through an awful
marriage has really made me appreciate good one. I stayed with an abusive man
for almost 13 years and was accused of cheating and flirting all the time and I
never did. Turns out he did. Going through that really makes me thankful that I
dound my husband now. I know how mean some men can be so I appreciate him more
I think because I went through a bad experience. I try and always be grateful
for him and thank him for the small things. If he is working on a project, I
help or keep him company sometimes. I cook and he cleans u the dishes. It’s a
50/50 arrangement and it works great for us.
