The BAREN Wife

THE BAREN WIFE

I don’t have a complicated life compared to what I have witnessed with my friends. I always consider myself lucky, for having a peaceful and calming life. Hindi ko alam kung masuwerte ako at bukod na pinagpala o sadyang hindi pa dumarating ang malaking sakuna sa aking buhay na hahamon sa akin.

Ninya grew up alone and was abandoned by her family, and her marriage almost ended in separation because of her unresolved past traumas. Sa huli ay naayos naman nila.

Aubrey faces the challenges of having an abusive husband where all she wants is a happy marriage. Love can also be abusive and despite that, they choose to stay. Forget. Forgive. Accept… and love over and over again. Sa kasakuluyan, hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit pinili niyang manatili.

Lucy who wasted her life chasing and dreaming of a man who couldn’t love her back, or will ever love her back, napangasawa niya nga ang pinapangarap niyang lalaki pero sa huli ay siya rin ang bumitaw. She wasn’t happy, everything by force became hard to make it work.

Marriage needs to work with love, compassion, respect, and understanding. But sometimes, it doesn’t work that way. Dahil maski nasa kanya na ang lahat na katangian na nais mo, kapag may isang kulang at hindi mo mapunan… kayang kaya nitong magbago. Life is really unpredictable. Today, you can wholeheartedly love the person and the next day, you’ll realize that you no longer have feelings for that someone. Ironic, pero masakit at nakakatakot.

You marry a man who loves you, who respects you, who understands you, who is compassionate. Everything is too perfect to process. It’s like a dream come true. A love story in a book that is out of reality.

But what if love is not enough to fill the space in his heart?
