Writing my story, "The new look," today had me wondering. About how much we take our married partners for granted.
Girls go to great lengths, visiting parlors, going on a super slim diet, just so that she might win her guy. But the same girl begins neglecting herself after she's got her guy.
She's now so busy attending to her kids' needs, juggling so many jobs simultaneously, that she misses a vital element in her life. That of continuing to look good for her partner. Now she's gained kilos of weight after pregnancy, eating ghee soaked post delivery food, so much so that it gets impossible to shed them easily.
Meanwhile her good looking hubby starts getting attention from pretty, young things at his workplace. He gets drawn to them. And the same Pati, Patni aur Woh story gets repeated. In one more marriage. One more time.
If only his wife had looked after herself well...if only she had spent more time with him than with her kids...if only they had gone on weekend dates together...
Would her marriage have been saved?
Well, I'm pretty sure of that.
Now its going to be one tough, uphill climb for her.
Wishing her and multitudes of faceless, troubled women in stormy waters all the best.
Hoping they make it to shore together.
In one piece.
It's the problm of the man who takes her for granted, and feels her outer beauty is more important than her inner beauty.
I completely disagree with you.
The woman in your story deserves a much better match than a hubby who never pays attention to the hardwork put in by her all d day. :}
