I took some time away since I finished my last story on here to focus on another writing project and work, the thing that pays the bills. I thought I would be away longer quite frankly, but something is happening to a friend of ours and I honestly never thought I would see it from this perspective, and I needed to talk about it once again. It hurts my heart to see anyone end a long-term relationship but WOW…here I am again to remind all of you that it is
NOT OKAY FOR SOMEONE TO TREAT YOU LIKE CRAP OR A STEPPING STOOL JUST BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT THE HOUSEHOLD WHILE YOU HANDLE EVERYTHING!
I see so many parallels in this situation to the reason I started writing here. In this situation it is the wife that is truly the narcissist and puppet master. It is awful to see a man with a big heart get shit on in the most exponential way. I will not share any details but I can tell you this is manipulation at its finest and I am disgusted. We have been supportive to him in that he only needs to call just to talk and through the past 3 months we think he is finally finding his strength and voice to permanently leave this incredibly toxic relationship that in my opinion is fractured beyond repair. That’s not a bad thing either.
When you marry or partner with someone it never gives you permission to treat another with such disrespect to think they must jump through hoops to satisfy your ego or power trip. It’s disgusting. I feel strongly about this and want to remind anyone in this situation, it is not how it is supposed to be. No matter your role in any relationship there is always a balance. Relationships are not 50/50. They are 100/100. Everyone has value in life. Everyone!
