Every woman dreams
of a happy marriage but only those in it already knows what it entails. Many
women are constantly abused by their husbands. This can be poisonous to the
relationship and can lead to domestic violence if not well handled.
Here are seven ways by which you can handle
such situation if they arise.
1. Stay calm: It is good to keep your
emotions in check at this time. Don’t use rude words. It will end up escalating
the situation. You won’t be able to hold back some terrible and hurtful words.
When you talk calmly, your partner will eventually become calm.
2. Consider your partner’s words:
sometimes your partner might be telling you the truth. Though not in a good
way. Often times, you will find some truth in those insults. It could be a bad
habit of yours or your negligence to house chores. Try to pick out correction
from what he is saying.
3. Don’t take things personally: It is
not easy to withstand insults because they ruin self esteem and ruin one’s
dignity. Physical violence leaves scars on the body while insults leave scars
on the soul. Try to distract yourself and don’t allow the words get to you.
Don’t read too many meanings into them. He might be talking out of anger and he
will apologize when he becomes calm again.
4. Have a frank conversation: look for a
moment when he is in a good mood and have a frank conversation with him. Say
all that you don’t like when he does them without him interrupting you. Tell
him how you feel each time he insults you. Be polite and don’t allow the
conversation get into another argument.
5. Leave him alone: Whenever he starts
to insult you, you can just walk away. Look for an excuse to leave his
presence. You can engage yourself with chores or go visit a friend or family.
If the insults keep reoccurring, do not tolerate them.
6. Make use of humor: Though insults
from the one you love can make you feel resentment and rage. You can try cracking
jokes; especially when you caused the argument. That will help calm his anger.
7. Don’t tolerate: If you keep ignoring
insults from him, it will lead to criticism and mockery. It is easier to ignore
insults from other people not so close. When it comes to your partner, don’t
tolerate it. Try to avoid those things that will make him insult you.
These are the 7 things you can do whenever your husband insults you. Look
for the one that will work for you. Try to be calm when explaining situations.
