Communication in a relationship means you sometimes have to ask the hard questions.

In the wise words of Zig Ziglar:
I have no way of knowing whether or not you married the wrong person, but I do know that many people have a lot of wrong ideas about marriage and what it takes to make that marriage happy and successful.
I’ll be the first to admit that it’s possible that you did marry the wrong person. However, if you treat the wrong person like the right person, you could well end up having married the right person after all. On the other hand, if you marry the right person, and treat that person wrong, you certainly will have ended up marrying the wrong person. I also know that it is far more important to be the right kind of person than it is to marry the right person. In short, whether you married the right or wrong person is primarily up to you.
A great documentary to watch is 51 Birch Street. A lot of couples don’t realize how unhappy their partner is … unless they ask. The hard questions. AND go to counseling
