    I pray that no one has bad relationship. They wound your soul.

    Actually the original post came at a great time.

    Sure it offended lot of ILlites, but it helped me confront some sadness.

    Perhaos fears of intimacy is what is making me scared of having new relationships.

    It was a relief for me to post my reply, a catharsis

    OP, reading your post, my first question that comes to my mind is :
    What's the point of tolerating and being calm ?

    and some more questions to follow :
    Am i not a person too ? Why Should I tolerate my anger to be the mature person during a disagreement and not the male ?

    By tolerating this for several years, the woman in the couple is just suppressing all frustrations, which leads to depression in future years.

    I'm going to read other responses and come back. I do not agree with this Older generation vs this generation thought process. No do not bring that in to create a rift.

    There is no doubt a happy family is the ideal condition to aspire for. I will be very surprised if there are zero differences between any couple and how they handle it makes the big difference. When a man is rigid, abusive, look down on his spouse as though she is a doormat, regularly speaks ill of her in the presence of the extended family members and so on, what is that a woman can do?

    First of all, she had to have self-confidence that none of the actions of her spouse was going to affect her life and pursuit of happiness. Only then, she would be able to make a change in the hostility that she encounters regularly. We know very well, becoming submissive only emboldens the spouse to be more aggressive assuming his methods are working well to his satisfaction.

    Women standing up for themselves instead of suffering silently or crying to the parents is what the society should aspire for. You don't have to be a faminist to stand up for yourself at home. Being financially independent gives them options but it is their mental strength that gives them the ability to even attempt to set the family straight and make it conducive for raising the children if the family is dysfunctional.

    Standing up for one's rights is not confrontational.

    One more thing I wanted to call out .
    Why is having a family called out as the ultimate pinnacle of life ?
    A woman can choose not to marry and be self-sufficient. That should also be acceptable in the society. When there are bachelors / Male who choose not to marry and live alone, why cant a woman do so ?

    There are couples with no kids and choose to have pets instead. Similarly woman should be allowed to life their life without having to marry.

    I used to see a lot of these bumper stickers right after the 2016 election results and it true:
    “Well-behaved women don’t change history”
