A young wife, who married at 20, has often been told she missed out on her 20s. Despite this, she believes marrying early has given her the most freedom as a woman. She and her husband, who is 12 years her senior, have been married for five years and have a child together.
Dealing with Unsolicited Advice
The wife has received many comments about her age gap and how she’s missed out on life as a single woman. She’s tried to brush off these comments, but they’ve become constant background voices in her head. She’s now wondering if she’s being ungrateful for her kind and loyal husband or if it’s okay to explore the possibility of returning to a single life.
She’s seeking advice on how to deal with these nagging thoughts and whether she should express them to her husband. She’s also considering seeking the help of a licensed couples counselor to work through these issues.
