It’s all about give and take and they name it relationship.
She is still feeding you, making food for you with her
shivering hands as she is not well, still doing everything for you and
children, taking care of everyone’s needs in the family.
She is good when she is cooking for you, washing your
clothes, taking care of children.
She is great when she does whatever you say. She is your
best friend when she is always there for you whenever you need her.
But when her body made her not to do anything, when she got
sick, when she is on bed, she suddenly becomes your enemy, an unknown burden on
your shoulders.
You can’t feed her, you can’t do anything for her as she is
unable now to do any by her own.
Is it like this that she has been married to you only and
you are not? As she has been assigned to do your work only. As she is neither
your wife nor life partner just a slave.
When she is unable to do anything for you as she is ill and
weak, you will threaten her or replace her just like a damage thing?
Don’t call it
marriage then
It’s just another deal where she is your slave and you are
the master. She is not a human then, just a mere animal who is assigned to work
for her master with happy face all life.
She has no rights to express what she wants, what she needs.
This is the limit of commitment, Commitment of
marriage, Commitment of HER!
This is truly powerful and thought-provoking. What inspired you to write such a piece?
ReplyDeleteSome real life personal incidents made me write this up. BTW Thank you so much for commenting, i really appreciate you :)
DeleteVery powerful....and true. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI feel it is all about acknowledgement and gratitude. We take so many things for granted in our lives and it is important to just acknowledge sheer hard work of man or woman.
ReplyDeleteYeah, i agree with you !
DeleteI've been through with this for 9 years. I've been a slave for a longest time. But i am glad that everything has been changed.
ReplyDeleteThings change when you decide them to be changed !
DeleteAww a lovely read on your post. That is what you call commitment in my eyes xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting :)
DeleteI love this! So true
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful post. It's so true that marriage and commitment to another person takes on so many different forms as life moves along. The "for better or worse" part is easier sometimes than at others x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, i really appreciate you :)
DeleteDeep and profound, yet direct and to the point. I'm sure there are millions of stories like this.
ReplyDeleteYeah, there are :) Thank you so much, i really appreciate you :)
DeleteThis is a beautiful post
ReplyDeleteThank you !
Deletelovely, as it says it works both ways!

DeleteWOW! this is deep! We take so many things for granted in our lives that we really should be appreciated and cared for more.
ReplyDeleteYeah, people do this a lot more then they expect , we should never do this instead.
DeleteThis is so beautiful and actually made me quite emotional. Relationships are very much about give and take, I struggle with that sometimes but it's a learning curve!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for commenting, i really appreciate you :)
DeleteI think committing on something is difficult but definitely should do it. And this post is lovely. http://www.clairebearblogs.com
ReplyDeleteThank you !
DeleteThis is such a powerful post. It truly brings to like a "marriage" that has become more of an ownership over another person. To whomever the woman is, I'm sorry you are so undervalued. It sounds like this is borderline abusive with the way the husband talks. Threats are never okay!
ReplyDeleteYeah, but several of us face this situation and this is sad.
DeleteThis really resonated with me only in reverse. I was doing all of those things in my marriage and was not getting any assistance in return. So I felt like when I got sick I was being blamed for what did not get done. It was sad but true.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad :(
DeleteThat's sad. People need to support each other no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI agree :)
DeleteI think this is a powerful piece. It's true to the core and it's also a very painful reality that women would have to go through when they are no longer able to function as expected by society.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true, harsh reality of society !
DeleteThis speaks the truth and we all know it. It feels as if we are expected to give everything we have and we are not allowed to lose our capability to keep serving. It's a curse that women have and I can only hope that it will be over someday.
ReplyDeleteYeah, i hope that too !
DeleteHey great post.... it's an eye-opener, thanks for sharing

DeleteVery true. Thanks for writing this
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThis reminds me of the song, "Take Care of Home." Though I've never been married, I've witnessed all of my siblings marry and go through divorce and a large component contributing to that was the lack of commitment.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for commenting, i really appreciate it.
DeleteThis is a very thought provoking post! I feel that in 21st century, every one has a right to take a stand for their life. I don't understand why few women's tolerate so much! It is better to just move on from that awful relationship where you're treated like a slave rather than tolerating and suffering throughout the life! Marriage is a unification of two souls where both the partners share equal responsibilities. If it is a slave and master relationship, then it shouldn't be called a marriage!
ReplyDeleteThis is still a mystery for me why women tolerate all this. :( whatever this is , this is sad !
DeleteThank you so much for commenting, i really appreciate it.
This was very deep. Wow! Great post.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI think many work hard and are taken for granted. Luckily this does not ring true for all.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for commenting, i really appreciate it.
