At one time, my married life was full of confusion and struggle. I am a hard-working wife, while my husband chose to indulge in games, no work and waste a lot of time and money.
This imbalance often makes me feel depressed and disappointed.
Every morning, I wake up and get into my busy work. I worked hard to earn money to support my family and wanted to create a better life for us.
At the same time, however, I saw my husband sitting in front of the computer all day playing games, with no actual contribution at all. He even borrowed extravagantly for the sake of the game, which made me feel incomprehensible and discouraged.
What makes me even more sad is that whenever I buy something I like, my mother-in-law always criticizes and accuses.
She thought I should be thrifty and spend more money on household expenses. Although I bear these accusations in silence, there are endless grievances and dissatisfaction in my heart.
However, it was during this painful process that I began to re-examine my relationship with my husband.
I realized that blaming and arguing did not solve the problem, it only exacerbated tensions and contradictions between us. So, I decided to face this problem with a different attitude and approach.
I took the initiative to sit down and have an in-depth conversation with my husband. We honestly shared each other's feelings and concerns.
I told him that I didn't want to deprive him of entertainment, but rather that he would find a balance to enrich his life and contribute to our future.
Hearing my point of view, he began to reflect on his behavior and said that he wanted to make changes.
I also actively sought my mother-in-law's understanding and support. I explained to her my financial burden and motivation to work hard for my family.
I encouraged her to look at our situation with a more tolerant eye and trust that we will work together to create a better future. Gradually, my mother-in-law began to pay attention to my efforts and gradually let go of her accusations.
Time passed slowly, and my husband and I worked together for change. He began looking for work and was actively involved in household chores and daily family affairs.
I also learned to let go of past resentments and grievances and began to understand and support him more. Together, we have rebuilt the cornerstone of marriage.
Today, I'm proud to say that our marriage relationship has improved. My husband got a stable job, and I learned to manage my family finances better.
We understand and support each other to face life's challenges together. And my mother-in-law gradually recognized my efforts and changed her opinion of me.
Through this experience, I learned that difficulties in marriage are not insurmountable.
As long as we are willing to face up to problems, listen to each other, and work to resolve conflicts, we have the opportunity to create true emotional connection and happiness. After going through the storm, our marriage is radiant with new life and hope.
