I saw a Korean variety show on tv a few days back. It was all laughs but something a contestant said caught my attention. I couldn't remember the exact words but it was something like this:
When you bad-mouth your spouse, it's like talking bad about yourself. It's because you chose your spouse and he/she is the reflection of you and our choices.
Something along that line.
I couldn't agree more.
I have met people who talked about their spouses like they were mortal enemies. I can understand that sometimes things weren't that rosy and you'd want to vent about it. I can also understand that sometimes a person teased and joked about their partners.
I don't however, think it's alright to constantly bad-mouth your spouse to other people. It's not a nice thing to do and to listen to.
I personally think it's only right for us to uphold our spouses' dignity. Ours as well. Literally.
After all, a relationship is about tolerating the good, the bad and the in between. If that is non-existent, then you might want to consider getting out of that particular bond.
Life is short. We might be dead tomorrow. Why dwell on hate when you can be happy?
