Is compromising really win/win or is it win lose? If sacrifices are made to maintain the peace over and over again, doesn't it end up being a losing situation in the end? If the end result was a sober spouse and a healed relationship then compromising wouldn't be so bad.
Is compromising an enabler? Does avoiding the drunken dispute really help or prevent any tears in the long run or just result in a high pressure unpredictable fountain of tears? Is it a sacrifice to maintain peace or is confrontation necessary? I don't think I actually hear the innuendo, put downs and insults anymore or at least I don't rise to the occasion. but they are hurting.
I am more angry now than hurt. more resentful than feeling victimised. In the end we are both losing at this rate. God's grace is so abundant. Why can't I find more of it in me? I am imperfect, but I am becoming less tolerant I think.
Praying for wisdom, discernment and appropriate action without compromise.
