of her daughter's upbringing.no physical but mental abuse by husband(inferiority complex)and another blunder was her early commitment at 16 during jc days.I wish to help her but am her family member how to tell her to rekindle it again .she says she is living as a stone replica in this family for status and her daughter.No affairs but her husband did that twice, and she accepted him so she is considered an angel with no flaws.Till now she gets family outings and maintenance for both her parents and in laws.We want her back but she is living a life which is meaningless without love.Is it time for her to move on.

Answer 1

Sounds really boring and menial. What a pathetic existence and waste of human life... She does need to move on and get a life but I cannot say that I pitty her if she continues to put up with her life. She can make her own decisions and if she chooses to stay then she must be staying for a reason.... Good luck... you sound like you really want to save her and thats what you are going to have to do...

Answer 2

OK, are you a family member, or concerned friend? She needs to do whatever is needed to get her life on track. No one can do this for her except to be a lending ear when she needs to talk about what's really going on in the marriage. Time has a way of taking care of everything, and she'll see this without any pushing.
