But, we should try never to do it. Even if he'll still love me, it will cause him to have resentment towards me because of my disrespect.Bethaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13909743765477772019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26404596.post-25093450022681896332007-04-05T12:55:00.000-07:002007-04-05T12:55:00.000-07:00Hi, Bethanie-I recently had a similar experience d...Hi, Bethanie-<BR/><BR/>I recently had a similar experience during our ladies' fellowship group meeting. One of the ladies started complaining about her husband and then others started. I did speak up against it - although I was very, very nervous. I'm not a confrontational kind of person but this conversation was getting off-track badly. It's a shame that we women, even us Christian women, feel the need to talk badly about our husbands.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065155969283461203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26404596.post-69603145985284854282007-04-03T07:26:00.000-07:002007-04-03T07:26:00.000-07:00It was something that really bothered me.

The other sad thing about it is, if you don't join in, and agree that for instance "all men are babies when they're sick" then you're treated as if you're unsympathetic, or self-righteous. <BR/><BR/>I know I read some of this husband bashing at a blog last year, a blog that was predominantly Christian and a ministry to other women...the things she shared were WAY TMI! I mean private stuff. I never went back to her blog.<BR/><BR/>I think letting these topics go on (and by contributing to them, we're in essence cheering on the whole topic just as you observed at the conference) is probably helping destroy marriages everywhere by feeding that discontent. <BR/><BR/>Great Post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26404596.post-61622680261922775252007-04-02T20:59:00.000-07:002007-04-02T20:59:00.000-07:00Bethanie, I'm sorry to hear about your experience ...Bethanie, I'm sorry to hear about your experience this weekend. I was in a playgroup for years and heard the exact same things. I finally wised up and made some new friends that don't bash their husbands. When I get together with my old friends I'm always shocked at what I listened to for all those years!<BR/>KelliKellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959889019639336499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26404596.post-4011283317518691382007-04-02T16:57:00.000-07:002007-04-02T16:57:00.000-07:00I completely agree.

We are to honor and uphold our husband, not to bring him down.Heather @ Marine Corps Nomadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704044370479709930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26404596.post-61757127535264687612007-04-02T12:52:00.000-07:002007-04-02T12:52:00.000-07:00I think you're right on here, Bethany.
