Considering that miserable, bad marriages are often fueled by a fear of loneliness, family obligations, and history, it's not surprising that many couples and partners feel entirely isolated and alone most of the time. They're grappling with a million inner feelings and complex situations, from shame to disconnection, that make it impossible for them to feel like anyone could understand what they're going through.
Even the small things people in bad marriages do when they're alone that they never tell anyone about don't have to be fueled by guilt and shame. So, if that's you, let this be your reminder that you're not a bad person because you're in a bad relationship. Your circumstances don't have to define you. Let them remind you of what you deserve and what needs to be said, instead of stewing in blame, resentment, and guilt forever.
