Author and founder of Proverbs 31 Ministries, Lysa TerKeurst shares how women can control their schedules and make wise decisions in the midst of never-ending demands.
I always felt I had to say yes to my husband(now my ex) otherwise I would get retaliation and rejection from my ex. I had so much stress for 23 years that it was making me physically ill. This is not talked about enough and therefore there’s a lot of wives suffering in silent.
ana munoz The feeling that a wife has to say yes or face the consequences of retaliation and rejection, tears away at the fabric of a women's soul. It is a sickening feeling in the gut that one is serving a function at the beck and call of their husband. What Lysa is sharing opens the door for discussion with women who are married to a Narcissist. When a women truly loves, she will freely give! I had completely shut down for awhile because of the oppressive demands of my husband. I married my husband just a little over two years ago and I have already distanced myself from him. I'm planning on leaving before who I am slips away! What you wrote in response to Lysa's topic, sparked my heart to connect with you in this way.
So you mentioned that if we say no they will find somebody else. Well after I started setting boundaries and learning to say no at times, he left me. It was a vicious cycle.
