How To Save Your Marriage From Collapse ______________________ Part 3. Should I Tell Close Friends My Marital Problems? It appeared that the turmoil in your marriage has gone worse. Your wife always says no to sex. At work, you feel so miserable when you think about your family that you hardly concentrate. Your husband no longer care about your emotions, perhaps because he is having an affair. You get so confused on what else to do. You have tried all you could but it's not just working. At this point, you turn to close friends or family members for comfort. You tell them how badly he treats you, ignoring your emotional needs. There are lots of stories to tell, how insensitive he has become over the years, how he unfairly refused to provide for the family materially and his unwillingness to change.

They start seeing your spouse as the problem without reasoning any possible way you have contributed to the problem in your family over time. Without being aware whether your actions may have contributed to the reason your spouse behave in undesirable ways, they conclude that he is the one in the wrong. If your spouse becomes more loving and involved in the relationship, you might change your mind about him and consider not to walk out of the marriage because you are impressed. Here is where the problem lies. They are not impressed. To them, you are just being brainwashed. You tell them all the changes your spouse has made but they are not moved, objecting to your spouse presence in your life. Sometimes, they withdraw their support from you if you decide to stay, concluding that you are indecisive.....
