Is It Just You Being Dramatic? Maybe You’re Just Too Free.

A friend I hadn’t talked to in a while called me.

It was below zero outside, and my hands went numb after taking off my gloves to answer the phone. My friend just kept talking, complaining about how her husband was always working, and how they fought all the time, and how her relationship with her mother-in-law was…

I couldn’t stand the cold or her negativity anymore. I just said, “I get it, we’re all working hard. But what you’re talking about seems like you’re just showing off.”

I thought that was the end of the call, but my friend kept going: “Should I get a divorce? Maybe I should make him feel a little insecure.”

That was it. I lost it. “You’re seriously bored out of your mind. You’re being dramatic! Either have some kids or find something to do!”

I hung up and still felt annoyed.

Maybe you’ll think I’m just sour grapes, but my friend’s always been lucky. After working for a few years, she met the man of her dreams, and they had a “rich CEO falls in love with me” story. She got married and lived the good life.

Her husband wasn’t exactly like the ones in the movies who threw money around, but he was pretty well-known in his field. My friend didn’t need to work, and her Instagram was all cats, dogs, shopping, and travel.

They agreed to have kids after they enjoyed a few years together, around the age of 30. But my friend quit her job after they got married. First, because her husband could support her, and second, she didn’t want to be too busy.

She didn’t really care about a career, so she became a stay-at-home wife.

I thought she was living the princess life, but her negativity was endless.

First, her mother-in-law complained that she didn’t do anything around the house and couldn’t even take care of her husband. Second, her husband was always working and traveling, so he didn’t have much time for her.

All she did was shop and watch TV. Meeting up with friends wasn’t really an option. Everyone was busy making a living. Who would give up their time to just chat with her?

As her life got more different from everyone else’s, they had less and less in common. They only saw each other on holidays. The rest of the time, they did their own thing.

I always thought she’d make her life interesting. She used to be a pretty artsy person. But it turned out she was more like the character from the show “My First Half of Life” who just spent all her time shopping.

When I was younger, I dreamed about finding a prince charming and living happily ever after.

But as I got older, I realized life wasn’t like that. Everyone has their own purpose in life, and you have to keep moving forward, finding your own value and meaning.

If you’re not a princess, you have to pay a price to be with a prince charming. Not everyone understands that.

In the TV show, the character’s spoiled lifestyle didn’t give her husband any emotional support, and he eventually left her. It was inevitable.

He loved her at first, and he thought he could give her a good life. He came home to a happy wife and kids, the perfect picture.

But people’s needs change as they go through life. He realized that she just spent money, caused problems, and was useless. She didn’t even understand his work.

So, he cheated. Maybe the other woman was manipulative, but even if it wasn’t her, it would have been someone else.

After the divorce, the character finally realized that she couldn’t rely on a man. She had to be her own support system. She went from a clueless housewife to a successful businesswoman, but it cost her a lot.

The reason I thought of her was because my friend’s life is exactly the same.

People see stay-at-home wives as having it easy, but people don’t just live for love. There’s more to life than romance.

If you only care about love and don’t have a purpose, you’ll start to develop problems. That’s exactly what’s happening to my friend.

If she had to worry about meals, pay for a house and car, and work a job, or take care of a kid or be swamped with work, she wouldn’t have time to complain about life.

Sometimes, the best cure for being dramatic is hard work and a busy schedule.

Some people say, “Your problems are all caused by having too much free time.” It’s true. More and more people don’t have time to feel sorry for themselves, and no one thinks love is the only thing that matters anymore.

It’s not that they don’t know how to enjoy life, but they’re starting to realize that having goals and working towards them is what they need to do.

Those pointless daydreams just bring negative emotions and don’t do anything helpful.

Once people realize this, they stop focusing on lovey-dovey stuff and start working on making their lives better. They’re constantly filling their lives with new experiences and working to get better things.

More and more women are buying houses before they get married, even if they’re small. At least they have a place to live. They don’t want to be stuck in a situation where they can’t go back to their parents’ house or fit in with their in-laws.

They know that they have to rely on themselves to be confident. So, instead of whining, they think about what they need and what they can do to make themselves secure.

I really admire the character from the show “Thirty Only.” Even though she was a stay-at-home wife, she had a full schedule and her life was fulfilling and ambitious.

Maybe she had some issues with her marriage, but she was responsible for her own life. She understood that she couldn’t completely rely on her husband. She always kept up with him, even trying to be better than him.

Even if her marriage didn’t work out, I’m sure she could easily take care of herself and her child.

No matter how poor or rich you are, you can’t let go of your dreams and aspirations.

Take some time to organize your life and learn some skills that will help you survive. That way, you’ll be able to live comfortably for the rest of your life.

If you rely on a man, you might be lucky and he’ll love you forever. But what if you’re not lucky?

You always have to have a backup plan. Even ancient people knew that “worrying about trouble keeps you safe, while enjoying comfort leads to ruin.” So, it’s even more important for modern people.

So, if you want to cure my friend’s problem, it’s not that hard.
