She said to herself one day: “I no longer check my heart to understand what feeling resides in it now!”
“I think that's enough to know I'm not okay!”
She said it and collapsed in a volcano of tears that did not dry up and no one knew about it!
The story:
In one of the lectures that are held with the aim of addressing marital relationship problems, which is held between a group of men and women who want to solve marital problems in order to achieve stability and family warmth…
The doctor began his lecture by asking those present a question after he got up from his seat, saying: “If you made your wife sad one day, what would you do to appease her and reconcile with her?”
The couples started writing completely different answers. The first husband’s answer was: “I will talk to her and explain my point of view completely and let her know that she did nothing wrong and that it is all my fault.”
As for the second, his answer was: “I remind her of some of our beautiful moments together and some of our unforgettable memories. I tell her how much I love her and that I cannot do without her.”
The third person's answer was: “I go to her place of work with the red roses that she loves, I get close to her and whisper in them her favorite song, I take her by the hand and go with her to the restaurant that she loves and order her the food that she loves and spend the whole day with her, I give her the full feeling that I left the whole world to express to her the extent of my regret and apology to her.”
The fourth husband's answer was: “I bring her an expensive gift, and I deliberately decorate it in an exaggerated way, and I let her take a lot of pictures of herself with her gift, and maybe a video to put it on her social media sites, and she will get a lot of likes from her followers, and thus she will feel joy and happiness and then make up with me.”
The doctor was reading all the answers amidst faint smiles from the husbands and sighs from the women. He kept reading and enjoying the answers until he reached the answer of a husband in his thirties. He found his paper blank, devoid of anything except his name and the age he was!
The doctor asked him in astonishment: “Why didn’t you answer the question? Don’t you want to do something to appease your wife and reconcile with her?!”
The doctor's question made all the women look at the young man with piercing looks. The women became angry with him; as for the men, fear of his answer entered their hearts. They were afraid that he would say that he did not want to appease her or gain her sympathy, and that she would be sad for a while and leave him and then come back to him. Thus, they would appear as romantics, unlike some women who were waiting for a wrong answer from him regarding his wife so that they could shower him with the dirtiest words and thereby obtain the rights of their wronged wife!
The young husband was silent for a while, then he said with great sadness: “You know, I have always loved my wife. I have loved her more than I loved myself, but I have never known how to reconcile with her or appease her!”
At this moment, his answer was not well received by those present, and they began their insinuations and teasing until the doctor wanted to ask him why he came to the lectures in the first place, but the young man beat him to it and continued his talk, saying: “Before I married her, my wife was the most beautiful dream in my entire life. Every day I dreamed of reaching her, and when I sent her a marriage proposal and she agreed, I felt as if I owned the world and everything in it. On the day of our engagement, I felt as if my heart almost stopped from the intensity of the happiness I felt at that time. As for our wedding day, she was the most beautiful girl in the universe, and I was certain at that time that everyone envied me for her and her love for me. A few months after the wedding, we began to disagree a lot among ourselves and get angry with each other. My wife was patient and tolerant to the extreme and forgiving of her rights, but I let her down and abandoned her one time, and from that day on, she became angry and her usual traits changed. She poured most of her anger into her work, as if she wanted to compensate for her feeling of failure in our life by her success in her work.
One day, an argument between us became heated and she shouted at me, saying: “I no longer see you! You don’t make a difference to me!” At that time, I didn’t care much about what she said, so I comforted her with a few words and left her. After a while, a big problem happened, and for the second time I let my wife down, but this time she didn’t get angry with me. Her reaction was very strange. She remained completely silent, to the point that she didn’t talk to me about anything, and our interactions became rigid and devoid of everything except our children’s affairs!
She started to move away from me, then I said to myself that it was the best thing as long as she was still at home and my children were doing well and lacking nothing and were with their father and mother, a period would pass and it would not affect us in any way; but only one week had passed since this conversation between me and myself, and suddenly I woke up to the saddest day of my entire life, my wife sleeping next to me, not as usual, and when I tried to wake her up I found her frozen, as cold as ice!
She passed away while she was next to me and I didn't feel her! Just as I didn't feel her when she lived with me, I never felt what she felt and I never even tried to understand her, she passed away and I didn't know what she loved and hated, what she wanted to do with her life; when I was at my wife's funeral I heard and saw her friends at work talking about her with the most beautiful words, I realized that I spent all the years of my marriage neglecting the blessing that God had given me, a wife who wished me contentment but in every real test I let her down, a person who loved me sincerely and loved my family and her children from me but I was selfish and only thought of myself and my psychological comfort, perhaps if I had tired myself and exhausted myself one day and tried to please her she wouldn't have tired herself psychologically and wouldn't have suffered from depression and wouldn't have been defeated, she hid from everyone that she wasn't happy with her life with me, oh if only I had understood her one day!
Tears streamed down his eyes, but he continued, saying: “Do you know why I came here? My wife always tricked me into coming here with her so we could change our lifestyle, but I let her down!”
