How I tore my marriage certificate and returned my wedding ring to my husband because of dishwashing — Lady

A lady has revealed how she tore her marriage certificate and returned her wedding ring to her husband because of dishwashing.

First year of marriage is not an easy thing, and I experienced this firsthand. At some point, I questioned whether I had made the right decision to marry my husband. We were different people and not compatible; we were opposites of each other.

During our courtship, I would visit my boyfriend, who is now my husband, on Fridays. However, he worked on Saturdays, so we only had Sundays together, and we hardly chatted. My husband loves to cook, so before I come for the weekend, he would have already prepared different delicacies. This made it hard for me to do anything during my stay because there would be food in the kitchen. I barely had to do anything at home.

We met in November, and he asked me to marry him by January. I relocated to his city a day before our marriage because I couldnt make  it on time to our court marriage time in the city. I noticed that my husband liked to wash the dishes while cooking, and I loved to wash dishes when Im done cooking. This little thing brought up fi hts between us, which got so bad that I tore our marriage certificate and returned his ring to him, saying I was no longer interested. When we had issues, he wouldnt eat my food and would sleep in the guest room.

One day, I heard a preaching online about a couples characters after marriage. It said that the two partners are from different backgrounds and have different characters, so they need to take time to endure and understand each other.

After that, I called my husband and asked him why we were always fighting and why he didnt eat the food I cooked whenever we were fighting. He said he was doing all of that to avoid trouble, and I told him that I disliked it because he was wasting my food. After some argument and understanding, we made peace and agreed that our fi hts wouldnt extend to the next day.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, my husband worked from home, and we were able to bond, know each other more, and spend good time together. That year was one of my favorite years because it helped me to understand my husband better. He understood that I loved washing the dishes after cooking, so whenever I was cooking, he helped to wash the dishes because he found that irritating.

In May 2020, we celebrated our first wedding anniversary trying to still understand each other. Marriage isnt easy when you dont take time to understand your partner. It can lead to divorce within the first three months.
