Hello to all my friends, how are you? hope your weekend would be productive and enjoyable. It's another story to tell, enjoy reading 😉.

It's been seven years of living together as a couple, Beth and Mark didn't expect to have another child. Beth works as an office clerk and Mark as Security Guard. It is normal for all couples to have problems and misunderstandings. But they manage to handle it and start again and now that their family is growing Mark has the idea to make their relationship official. Mark told Beth about his plan, that they both get married after she gives birth. Beth agreed and she thinks it is the right time for them.

Beth, is somewhat worried and happy she got that mixed emotions, she was thinking maybe it is the hormones. She is always emotional and sensitive sometimes they fight because of her mixed emotions. Beth is a silent type of person, emotional and submissive.

Mark is a hard-working guy and a good provider. His attitude is straightforward and though. He is sweet but not clingy, he can be romantic but it depends on the mood. And he is still attached to his friends.

Beth usually does all the house chores, in her case now that she is pregnant she can hardly move as she used to. She would wake up early in the morning to prepare for work and also for her eldest child to go to school, Mark was still in bed because of his night shift and he usually woke up at 11 in the morning. So Beth needs to do all the preparation and also for Mark's lunch. Everything was set they left the house, Beth send her son to school, and then went to work. When afternoon came and Beth went home after a long day at work, she was tired, Mark already have his uniform on he just cooked rice and no viand, he just told Beth to buy caned food at the store. Beth was tired and don't want to argue, she just told Mark that she will cook the chicken in the fridge so that she and her son can eat something healthier. (that was her daily routine)

Mark went to work, it would be another 9 hours. He is busy at night because he is working as security in a hospital. He sometimes assists patients coming in and out, making rounds at night, and sometimes assisting dead patients if there are no other staff present at night. Mark is a friendly person, he is fun to be with that is why he gained friends. Mark has this attitude of like and dislike, short-tempered, and moody. At work, he can manage those but at home, he can burst it out.

Beth manages to adjust to his attitude, and it doesn't happen daily, and that's okay with her. She just does her job as a wife and a mother and that's fine with her. But as time goes on changes happened, 1 month before her due date Mark came home (it was his off) from a friend's house drunk, he was fine and still manage to rest on the sofa, Beth left her there because he fell asleep already and she went to the room and rested. She woke up and heard a noise in the kitchen and it was late at night. Mark was looking for food and he is angry, Beth calmed him down but Mark didn't listen then he grabbed Beth and slapped her and pushed her away, Beth hit her side at the table, all she did was cry.

Beth was scared of what would happen next, he knew that Mark's temper is unpredictable even if he is drunk or not. Mark always apologizes for what he has done, for Beth she never questioned him for that. In Beth's mind, Mark doesn't mean to hurt her, she loves Mark, he provides everything they need, he is a good father and a good husband. After she gave birth they are so happy and Beth observe that Mark is not moody anymore. There wedding came, it was only a Civil Wedding it was a simple and happy one. Beth was at ease, she got a peaceful mind and she would not worry about Mark's attitude.

But there are no happy endings, it only lasted a few months and then back to reality. Beth doesn't know what to do she was tired already, her children are growing up and they are also afraid of their father. Beth does all the house chores day and night, she still works 8 hours a day as a clerk. Mark just only waits, and if he has off duty he just stays at home relaxing and sometimes go to a friend's house enjoying. Beth sometimes wanted to quit, but she was thinking about her children, and that's her only hope.

Final Thoughts

Is it worthy to stay in a relationship like this? does it mean that if you are a man that provides for your family you have the right to treat them like that? I do always believe that having a good and balanced relationship really works, sometimes when we get married our hope's and dreams came true because we married the love of our life, our soul mate, and the man of our dream ( di ko nilalahat but meron namang may forever😉) but some of the married couples have this in-between, they live together for the sake of their children even they don't talk anymore, some separate, and some woman endure the pain. That was the reality and blessed are those who have a wonderful family life.

Well, I got too emotional about this story, hope you like my article for the day. Have a wonderful weekend to all of you and I want to thank my sponsors for believing in me. Also, visit them if you have time you would love their story too.

Totoo yan sis, mas gugustihin pa natin na tayo ang maghirap kesa mga bata natin. Ganyan talaga tayong mga ina para sa ating mga anak.

Interesting but sad story. It is not advisable for someone to marry a partner that has anger issues. To be on the safer side let the partner go for alot of counseling before they get married. Anger issues can never go away but it can be reduced and controlled.

Yes, how I wish it could be that way before getting married but sometimes it will be noticed when couples already married 😒
