I wasn’t talking necessarily about leaving ones’s partner. Am not telling anyone to leave at all.

I was talking about people being afraid to talk to their spouse, afraid to have a conversation and tell them what’s bothersome. I think it’s very alarming.

Marriage is an equal partnership. If one spouse is afraid of another then it’s not equal team anymore. One spouse has position of power, which isn’t healthy.

Not saying people must have perfect marriage and never fight. It’s unrealistic. People fight. I am concerned about not having equal distribution of power, people being afraid to tell their own spouse what bothers them.

I think it’s perfectly ok to have an argument. It’s not ok if a spouse is afraid to speak their mind.
