Some say that to make the best decisions, one must first endure countless sleepless nights. However, this woman decided to take control of her life after contemplating her situation… in her living room! Discover the moment that prompted her to seek love from someone else!
This woman feels an immense void!
As one might expect, infidelity is the leading cause of separation for couples. Yet, there exists an even more dangerous plague that can wreak havoc on both partners. This woman learned this the hard way, believing she had found the perfect husband!
In 20 years of marriage, her spouse never cheated on her. He never lived a double life, yet she knew nothing about him. It wasn’t until a few years into their life together that the harsh reality caught up with her. In truth, her husband had a peculiar habit of not communicating with her at all!
Upon seeing the true nature of her husband, a deep sadness settled within her. Gradually, this transformed into indifference until they ceased to communicate altogether. But this woman wasn’t accustomed to such a life. Once vibrant and full of life, like a flower bathed in light, she is now but a shadow of her former self!
“I still have needs…”
Experts have an informal term for what this woman experienced. It’s called the “dead living room” syndrome, or the “silent living room”. It refers to the deafening silence that fills the living room. This space, which should be vibrant, becomes a testament to the couple’s emotional detachment!
The couple can no longer reignite the flame of their love. They feel no more of those thrilling butterflies that once fluttered in their hearts. From a distance, they appear to be perfect strangers! This was the daily life that almost consumed this woman.
She recounts: “My husband and I lived together. But we rarely spoke. We watched TV, but we didn’t agree on what to watch together. We sat down to relax, but we never touched each other.”
After months of introspection, this woman ultimately asks herself the crucial questions. “Why live like this? I still have needs. I want to sleep with someone again before I die. Why deprive myself?”, she says.
Will she go back home?
Before giving up on her marriage, this woman decided to give her husband one last chance. However, he still couldn’t reignite the passion they once shared. Their evenings continued in silence, without any touch or conversation. Thus, she resolved to take radical action!
In an effort to fill the growing loneliness that was increasingly hurting her, she found another partner to dance with. She states: “I wanted a living room where I could joke with my partner, put my feet on his legs, where I could relax and feel accepted for who I am.” It turns out that the seemingly insignificant things are essential in a relationship!
