Let's Make a Deal...

 

It's a Wellness Wednesday!

 

 

Cordelia always inspires me, giving me good material to think and write about. We trade stories, laughs, and prayers quite often. She asked me to help with a friend's ongoing issue.

 I posed the following question:

other than infidelity and domestic violence, what is a deal breaker in your marriage, if any?

 

She gasped, trying to compose herself, then said," Shitake Mushrooms, that's one to think about. I will pose it to her, when you write about it." Here I am...writing about it.  

 

Only YOU know your threshold for pain. Only YOU know when you have had enough. Only YOU know when you're tired, I think you get my drift...

 

I read an article about deal breakers on Become a Better Man (www.askmen.com).

They listed the following deal breakers for the brothers:

-She cheats.

-She has a substance abuse problem.

- She scolds you publicly.

-She abuses you.

-She disappears without telling you.

-She criticizes you.

-She lies.

-She neglects you publicly.

-She flirts with other guys.

-She doesn't back you up.

 

Now that we've heard a man's perspective, I need a woman's perspective.

Have you set boundaries in your marriage? Is he a repeat offender? Have you communicated the issue and how it makes you feel? When is enough ENOUGH?

Okay, so what now??? Fight or flight?

 

Of course, my tolerance levels may be lower/higher than the next woman's.

 It also depends upon the issue. Bottom line, what is a deal breaker for YOU?

Talk to me people.

 

Communicate. Capacity. Character.
