Re: talking about your issues
When your husband isn't interested in listening to what you have to say about your issues, or dismisses them, or justifies his actions, or completely ignores what you are saying, or calls you names, or creates an atmosphere where things cannot be discussed, etc. etc., bottling it up will make you explode. You end up with no other choice but to turn to someone else and tell them what you are feeling. If you have a husband who you can actually talk to, who respects what you have to say, even if he doesn't agree, then you won't feel the need to turn to 'others'. It is really easy to sit back and judge wives who discuss personal issues with their friends/family, but the main question which is being avoided is WHY are they not discussing this with their husband? There is always a reason behind it. Very few people wake up and decide to 'gossip' about their husbands for no reason.
