Conflict-filled relationships, marital stress or divorce.

•••

I love my husband.

I love him so much, but... love doesn't make a marriage perfect.

We fight; all couples fight. But sometimes, our fights get too intense for me to brush off.

Most of the time, it's my fault. I get angry easily, and I take it out on my husband. He's the closest one to me, the one I trust the most, and sometimes that means he's the one I unload all of my frustrations on him.

It's unfair, I know it is. But no matter how unfair I know it is, I always seem to release all of my pent up anger on him.

Neither of us are perfect. He works, goes to school, and is a new dad. Sometimes the stress gets to him too, and he'll end up snapping at me. But I think that's common in marriages. Your spouse is the person you're most comfortable with, and is consequently the one you release your frustrations on.

Every couple argues. Some arguments are worse than others, which leads to hurt feelings and regretful words.

A sharp tongue cuts the heart worse than any knife.
