How I wish I can tell her to stop. I have a friend, we used to be very close, especially when we were in the university. In fact, our friends often teased that we would probably marry guys who are siblings as that would be a great way to maintain our strong bond. However, something happened that changed all that, sometimes I wonder if it was really necessary to have informed her about what was discussed about her because the way she managed it impacted our friendship and completely ruined our friendship with some of our friends. Today, we talk, but most of our discussions are just at the ‘surface’ level.
Right now, history seems to be repeating itself as this time, her husband is being discussed in such a sinister way, I can’t stand it. The reason is simply because she carelessly talks about his weaknesses, mistakes and circumstances with reckless abandon. I was shocked when I heard him being called a parasite for depending on his wife, just because he planned a career move that was not successful. The lesson in it for me is that how we present our spouses, to a large extent, would influence how he would be perceived. As individuals, we must be careful what we say, who we talk to and where we talk. Words, sometimes, are like raw eggs, once broken, they can’t be fixed again.
THINK & ACT: Deal with your issues with your spouse, don’t ruin his/her reputation before your colleagues, friends and family. Don’t sow seeds of dishonour, these things disconnect spouses and ruin marital romance.
