Love, Respect and the Bhagavad-gita- Krishna respects us & our choices
[From a Website]
I met my wife through a mutual friend and feelings began to grow and were subsequently nurtured. What started as friends metamorphosed and led to our marriage. We got married and currently have four children. When we got married, I was doing well for myself. I was earning way higher than my wife and I provided for the family.
Recently, few months after her promotion, my wife began to change. Apart from coming home late, she no longer respected me. She would act edgy frequently and complain about irrelevant things. Now, it is as if I am the wife and she is my husband’s. I feel ashamed with all the things she does. When I have my friends over, she nags about irrelevant things and complains about how we are wasting things. I have cautioned her about how she speaks to me and reacts but of course, nothing changed. I really hate that she is this way. I love her so much and I have always wanted to take good care of her but she has changed.
Her salary is getting into her head and it’s terrible. I feel very terrible about the way she treats me like I am a piece of shit. I do not blame guys that refuse to marry women that earn More than them because they will disrespect them. If I knew what I know now, I wouldn’t have married her. Now I feel terrible and see her differently. I need a way out of this mess. I earn well, at least enough to run the house. The only issue is that she earns more than me and feels like she has arrived. She no longer asks me for money and even when the kids are watching, she makes issues out of nothing. I am honestly tired of this mess and need a solution.
Love in this world is sooner or later going to be contaminated. Spouse will disrespect in front of others, may be in front of children, family and friends. KRISHNA respects us and our choices -- completely. He can force himself upon us because he is maintaining us in every way - everything we have and use belongs to HIM. He has all the right to force us. He is the SUPREME PESONALITY OF GODHEAD, yet he gives us Top Respect -- a clear sign of how much He loves us. If we do not want to connect with him, He allows us to do that and Respects our Free will which is a pre requisite for Love.
HARE KRISHNA!!!
