A marriage should be built on mutual understanding, appreciation, and love for one another. However, there are cases where one of the partners acts as though they don\u2019t care enough for that union to last. This can easily lead to constant fights and even separation.\n

A woman took to\u00a0MamaMia\u00a0to share how her marriage of five years came to an end after she accidentally read one of her husband\u2019s texts to his friends in which he referred to her with a nickname that \u201cfelt like she\u2019d been slapped in the face.\u201d\n

At the time, their son was 2 years old, and her husband was out most of the time without ever telling her who he was seeing or where he was going simply because he believed \u201che didn\u2019t have to.\u201d\n

She tried hard to justify his decisions because he was the breadwinner for the family and she was happy to give him downtime, asking money from her parents to support his business.\n

\n
\"\"\n\n

Her husband was like that since the beginning, and although she believed things would change after their son was born, that wasn\u2019t the case.\n

\u201cHe continued his long Friday lunches, that always turned into Friday night drinks, because they were networking opportunities. He had always played Thursday night sport \u2013 he didn\u2019t ever even miss one week,\u201d she wrote in her letter to the outlet.\n

Moreover, he wasn\u2019t willing to say if he had any intention of getting involved in her and her son\u2019s life.\n

\n
\n\n

One Friday morning, the woman\u2019s husband was in the shower and his phone \u2018kept pinging\u2019 so she decided to check it in case it was urgent.\n

What she stumbled upon was a text message to his friends that read, \u201cDon\u2019t think I can make it tonight. SWMBO will say no.\u201d\n

\n
\"\"\n\n

She was confused as she had no idea what that meant, although she was certain it alluded to her.\n

When she asked her husband about it, he answered in the most casual manner. \u201cIt means \u2018She Who Must Be Obeyed,\u201d he said.\n

The woman felt awful. She felt like he treated her as his mother while he was the teenager who tried to sneak out of the house in order to have fun with his friends.\n

\u201cAfter five years of marriage, this is what I\u2019d become to him. The only thing I ever asked of him \u2013 some accountability regarding his whereabouts, was apparently too demanding. And he\u2019d spoken about me like that to his friends,\u201d she wrote.\n

Feeling \u201cmortified\u201d by the nickname he gave her, and realizing that no one in the chat questioned the abbreviation\u2014implying he\u2019d used it before\u2014the woman knew there was \u201cno coming back from that.\u201d This union didn\u2019t feel like a marriage nor what a family should look like.\n

\n
\"\"\n\n

\u201cI was never, ever, going to kiss, let alone sleep with, a man who called me that after 10 years together \u2013 even after becoming the mother of his son,\u201d she wrote, adding that she knew at that point that both her and her son deserved better than that. Not being valued where she was supposed to be loved wasn\u2019t the life she ever imagined so she made the decision to take her baby and leave her husband.\n

Her story gathered plenty of attention and people\u2019s opinions regarding her decision were divided.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
