Hi Laurie, Thanks for the advise that you’ve been giving me lately, I really appreciate it because a lot of your advise has really given me so much to think about how I should go about coping with problems and also what to expect in future. At the moment I am facing some problems like, my husband spends more time with his friends and less time with the children and I. Sometimes I feel afraid to ask him why he continuously does it because he might get upset and hit me. We can’t even talk like married couple anymore, every time I mention about ways on how we should better our lives, he always has something negative to say to discourage me. It’s his behavior that makes me think negative and I end up arguing with him. Please give me some advise on how I should cope and handle this situation. I await for your quick response. Cheers, |
