Your Wife’s Not a Bitch | Sober and Unashamed
Your wife’s not a bitch.
She doesn’t have her stuff that’s making the relationship bad, too. She’s not half, or even partially, to blame.
I don’t know your wife, but I do know this…It’s not her fault.
I had a friend in college who was really skeptical about my easy friendships with women. I got along great with his girlfriend, in fact, and I could tell by the way he looked at me sometimes, he didn’t like that at all. He thought interacting with girls was for one reason, and one reason only: trying to get into their pants. He was much better looking than me, so he really didn’t have anything about which to be worried. I think about him a lot when I make statements like the one I opened with.
I’m not defending women so they’ll like me. I’m not trying to get in the collective pants of all the women married to alcoholics. In fact, my statement applies to men married to female alcoholics, or same-sex marriages and gender-neutral situations. Who you are isn’t important. What is important is that it is not your fault. Not even a little bit.
