Struggles of married life that women fear to share with their husbands

There is nothing as romantic as the idea of sharing your life with a person whom you can consider your better half. Marriage brings two people closer with a promise to share a lifetime together. It goes without saying that the spouses are expected to keep no secrets from each other. But, it’s not easy to share everything, especially for women, who are expected to mould their life post marriage according to the ways of her husband and the new family. Here are a few struggles faced by married women that they find difficult to share with her husband:

Obviously, there will be difference of opinion when a newly-married woman has to adjust to the ways of a new family and is expected to play the role of a perfect daughter-in-law as defined by society. Some women try to overcome the differences without making a noise, a few brave ones, would perhaps raise their voice. However, what most fail to do is discuss these in-laws related-problems with her husband.

To be honest, most of us have a past that might sometimes pop up in our present. It does not necessarily mean a married woman might still have lingering romantic notions about her past, but the man of the house might think otherwise. A man might feel insecure if he finds his wife meeting someone from her past that he does not approve of. Under such circumstances, it’s very difficult for any woman to talk about an accidental (or planned) meeting with a ‘ghost’ from her past.

All women should learn to say ‘no’ to anything they think is inappropriate or are in no mood to entertain any request. However, it’s easier said than done. Sometimes, a woman may not be interested to have sex, yet she still struggles to reject her husband’s advances or request. The simply reason being, girls in an Indian society grow up believing a wife's duty is to keep her husband happy!
