Marrying Mr Wrong

tiptoes

I split from my partner several months ago and I feel that she JG has a point.
I think you do need passion, respect, admiration and kindness to maintain a relationship. As though on some level I still love my ex, I think the only passion our relationship had in the last year was our mutual loathing of each other, which lead us to be unkind and disrepectful to each other.

I am so thankful that I had the strengh to belief that we both deserved somthing better than what we had together, as I know women who have stayed in relationships with men they loath as they are frighten of loosing the lifestyle they have become accustom to.

I believe that passion doesn't remain in a long term relationships so you can't rely solely on that.

I would never have a child with somebody I didn't love ( I can't understand how people do) and Jane Green actually said she didn't love her husband. She even sounded lukewarm when she talked about beeing attracted to her.

I have to say, I felt little sympathy for her reading this article! And you are 100% correct on the pressures put on women - which is franking shocking in this day and age!

I think you are right that the red hot type passion does not remain in a long term relationship but I think you still need that spark!
I can't exactly sympathise with JG (that would be the wrong word) but unfortunately I can relate to her story.

I think re the pressures of marriage and the babies there is a certain biological factor with women in the production of babies that may cause them to marry the wrong man - some women have a stronger maternal need than others and at the end of the day there is only a limited window (not that I think this is right but I think it could be a contributing factor)

On my part I will do my best to make sure my own daughter does not feel under the same pressures as I was (can't control any external pressures) but can make sure it's not coming from me!
