She often comes to me to talk about my dad and after I tell her I don't want to listen to her complaining about my dad - she'd say "I'm just sharing, and you can pray for him!" It hurts me. hurt's relationship between me and my dad, makes me hates marriage. If there's a problem between husband and wive, always bring it to God not your children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811085611766977461.post-40900895169826226652011-07-18T04:38:52.488+01:002011-07-18T04:38:52.488+01:00What a great reminder, Rhoda!!

I often try to either change the subject or defend their husband, but I don't think I've tried saying something lovely about mine :)Rhodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243096331534237865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811085611766977461.post-57807583037806910262011-07-17T18:56:25.266+01:002011-07-17T18:56:25.266+01:00I completely agree with you.

I find it hard when my friends are talking down their husbands and I usually try to change the subject or say something lovely about my own to get them thinking positively!Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296757944586260677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811085611766977461.post-69584773168698716012011-07-17T16:53:46.053+01:002011-07-17T16:53:46.053+01:00Hi Harriet, my husband and I also tease each other...Hi Harriet, my husband and I also tease each other about our failings in front of others, so I know what you mean, and I think up to a point that is fine and even healthy. <br /><br />But I think there is a diference between the kind of thing you can laugh about to others and what would be more serious, and also the way you say it. If you are laughingly saying your husband is a pack rat, it is different from if you are grumbling to someone about how he clutters the house up.<br /><br />What I'm talking about is not so much teasing and laughing at failures, but rather talking in a negative, complaining, critical way. Maybe I should have clarified that, but I didn't think of it at the time - thank you for bringing it up!Rhodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243096331534237865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811085611766977461.post-79152681451124409412011-07-17T11:31:55.426+01:002011-07-17T11:31:55.426+01:00We have been married 31 years and our relationship...We have been married 31 years and our relationship depends on gentle nudging and laughing at our human failings - as well as our successes. It would be easy to put my husband on a pedestal as he works for the church but people appreciate the fact that his feet are firmly on the ground and we can speak about each other openly. (We would NEVER say anything to others that we haven't said to each other.)<br />I do agree with your comment about confiding with others leading to emotional attachments. There are 'predatory' people out there.Harriethttp://theotherhalf-thecurateswife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811085611766977461.post-65155913516138709742011-07-17T08:55:44.548+01:002011-07-17T08:55:44.548+01:00A lot of that kind of stuff we have to keep remind...A lot of that kind of stuff we have to keep reminding ourselves of I think :)Rhodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243096331534237865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811085611766977461.post-87557418162333338492011-07-17T02:51:40.003+01:002011-07-17T02:51:40.003+01:00I had to learn this the hard way lol.
