Are Women Over 45 Satisfied with Their Husbands? Three Women Speak Out
Love is beautiful, but reality sets in. Even if you meet someone at the right age, neglecting them will push you apart. Marriage requires effort to last.
Some say marriage hits a rough patch at seven years, but for some, it ends sooner. Some marriages bloom briefly like a flower but never bear fruit.
Women at 45, are they satisfied with their husbands? Three women share their thoughts.
Dissatisfaction
“Being with someone you like shouldn’t cause pain. Loving someone may bring enduring pain, but their joy is the greatest.”
When a woman is unhappy in marriage, it’s often because her husband neglects her, making her feel invisible. Initially, men shower women with affection, but over time, they may take them for granted or even betray them, leading to disappointment.
A woman’s dissatisfaction isn’t overreacting; it’s often a result of her husband’s actions. Every woman wants to be treated well and have a happy family. Marrying is a gamble on lifelong happiness.
A kind man won’t let his woman down.
Compromise
At 45, Auntie feels she and her husband are settling, devoid of love. Marriage requires compromise, but settling shouldn’t be an option. When you feel it’s a compromise, the marriage is nearing its end with love long gone.
A home needs love; without it, you’re just living together. True warmth comes from caring and loving each other, not just cohabiting. Engaging in healthy arguments shows you still care.
But marriages where partners don’t care are worse. Ignoring each other’s actions or betrayals is scarier than divorce.
At 45, you may not be young, but it’s no time for settling.
Unbearable Behavior
Actress Song Dandan divorced her husband because of his unrepentant betrayal. He continued down a selfish path, ignoring all warnings. Making mistakes isn’t the issue; repeating and worsening them is.
After ten lonely years, Song found someone new and ended her marriage. Some men, after betraying their wives, refuse to divorce, dragging them along. How many more decades can a woman endure?
Auntie’s husband, once kind, changed over time, leading to their divorce. His behavior became intolerable, including bringing his mistress home to challenge Auntie. Despite wanting to stay, his actions showed otherwise.
Betrayal signals the end of love and preparation for divorce.
Men may struggle to end relationships but excel at forcing women to. Few women over 45 are content with their husbands, who sometimes see marriage as a way to control and do as they please.
Marriage should be based on trust and respect; without them, it’s torture.
