I have been living in my parents' house for a week now and already I realize why I left in the first place. Everyone is quick to point out your faults and very slow to help. The only way to shut them up is to do the same. I'm realizing that I have learned this awful behavior...not the slow to help, but the quick to point out the faults of someone. Mainly in my husband.
Already I feel horrible here. Already I want to leave and go back home to my husband. I want to apologize and ask for forgiveness for my disrespectful behavior. I was not kind.
It's not that the faults we point out are incorrect, it's that they dont need to be pointed out at all. Unless you are truly trying to help the person. Instead, the way that one's faults are revealed are meant to debilitate and hurt and shut the person up. It is an awful thing that I pray, in Jesus name, I do not pass on to my children. Please God let me overcome this behavior in myself.
Why would any man put up with the constant pointing out of his faults? I should not be doing this, but instead be encouraging and supportive and kind. I love my husband!
