Shattered !

Incompatibility in marriage

Another marriage is shattered, Lord.
The divorce will be final next week.

He said it was a breakdown in communication
She said it was an accumulation of things.

He said she was unnecessarily preoccupied with home, and children and activities.
She said he stifled her dreams and ignored her achievements.

He said he felt imprisoned and restricted….that night after night
He gets the old push off.
She said he was harsh and brutal & he often embarrassed her in public.

He said her critical attitudes contributed to his sense of inadequacy.
She said she felt lonely and unappreciated.

He said she wallowed in self pity and refused to acknowledge her benefits.
She said he was thriftless and irresponsible

He said she didn’t understand..
She said he didn’t care.

Sad, isn't it?

This is well done and I think this is typical of all relationships. It is easy to be critical of others and harder to see the good they do...

when unhappy it is very hard to live like this, we do it for the kids for years, then, we find more compatable companions sometimes.
