Treat them how they treat you

The worst thing that can happen to someone is being with a toxic partner. The signs were there at first, but I never looked at it; I felt I could change her and mold her into the woman I wanted her to be.

She looked like the perfect mother of my kids and I was willing to look beyond her errors and shortcomings.

She knew I loved her and at some points started using it to her advantage; she stays out last, never takes care of the house, or even cooks; whenever I point out areas she wasn’t doing well, she could remind me that she isn’t my wife yet.

We eventually got married amidst all odds, and that was when I realized I made a costly mistake. She never dropped those attitudes and it became worse.

I was losing my peace of mind and I knew sooner than later I could call it quits. My work was affected along the way and I started spending more time in my place of work.

Sometimes, I don’t go home at all and sometimes I go back home late. My wife started complaining about my change in attitude; I didn’t want to talk to her, so I walked past her like she has always done.

She nagged the whole night, but I was the least affected. She hated being treated how she always acted towards me, so ironic.

People hate when you show them how it feels to be treated the way they treat you. If they treat you bad do the same to them, and when they are good be good to too.
