Your Aunt Brenda did it again-Dad posted something about marriage, and unknowingly she defended me again.
Here's what he posted from Fierce Marriage:
A relationship is like a house. When a light bulb burns out you don't go and buy a new house, you change the lightbulb. -Unknown
What Brenda said (in two comments):
"I disagree. When a person is being physically and/or emotionally abused, there is no light bulb to change. That new house needs to be ran too. Women are abused daily and too many lose their life (murdered) because they thought they could fix the light bulb!"
"People need to be careful what they write because what is written can encourage someone to stay in a situation that is not safe or healthy."
In the meantime, Barbara W. (Dad's former secretary) added this:
"I'm thinking abuse might be considered as the house is on fire...in which case, you need to run to a new house."
And something else from cousin Melissa who just left her husband:
"Takes two people to change in a marriage sadly. Even if one has to hold the ladder sometimes, if they're not taking turns in each job and putting their all into it, then one person is always stuck changing the lightbulb while the other person doesn't care if they sit in the dark. That's how resentment grows..."
