Family matters are such that sometimes only you can solve, listen to yourself to make wise decisions. According to psychological experts, settling down is the most profound solution.
Thanks to the online community “Repair Marriage”
“My husband and I have been married for over 10 years and we have two children. During the 10 years of marriage, I have sacrificed myself to be with my husband’s family…” – Ms. NTD Started your shared post from a group society. She hopes to get everyone’s suggestions to “improve” her marriage.
After this opening sentence, Ms. NTD listed a series of bad habits of her husband, such as drinking too much alcohol, listening to his mother-in-law, not knowing how to protect his wife and children, not being good at earning money.. .
Talking about herself, Ms. TD said that when she had to live with her mother-in-law for the last 10 years, she had to face many disadvantages.
“Although my mother-in-law is not very picky or strict, she only knows how to complain all day long. When she is sick, she complains ten times. She always calls her mother sick, but in fact she eats better than me She never touches anything in the house. Sometimes when she sees her grandson crying, she closes the door to sleep or picks up the phone. Not to mention the big and small fights No,” Ms TD shared on the social network.
After only one day, his article had received hundreds of mixed comments. Notably, the article attracted many other women to tell a “wilderness” of stories about being a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the conflicts they face while living together. Many “urged” her to divorce and live separately so as not to be dependent on her husband’s family…
Ironically, Ms. TD’s husband is also a “secret” member of this group, so he accidentally saw this post two days later. Even though he hid the poster’s name, the husband recognized his wife after reading the content and decided to “respond.”
Mr T. Cuong said that after the couple got married, he was the only one working, so he was under a lot of financial pressure. For the past 10 years, his wife has no intention of finding a job, only her mother is left at home, and the couple has not been able to buy their own house, so they have decided to live with her mother to both save money and afford expenses. decided. Take care of him. Old mother.
Mr. Cuong acknowledged that conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are inevitable when living together, but he also accused his wife of being lazy. “Even though both children go to school all day, instead of working to help her husband, she hangs out at home. “Laziness is cruel”, visiting neighbors to “gossip” and scolding her mother-in-law. The situation is worse. The conflict between two people is becoming more and more tense. So how should we “handle” it?”, Mr. Cuong commented.
The unexpected appearance of her husband makes Ms. TD’s story tense, further increasing everyone’s opinion. Due to too much pressure, Ms. TD immediately removed the card.
Similarly, in a group on Facebook, there is a “Marriage Repair” group with over 140,000 members, which has many posts sharing about their marital status. Many women share stories of their husband’s adultery, or “hunting”, or even “having sex”… which everyone discusses with great enthusiasm.
In an anonymous post, Ms Thuy Nung shared that her husband loves his wife very much, takes care of their children, and does not drink or gamble, but recently he has been working away a lot. Are, come back only once every 1-2 months. , Working away from his wife and children, the husband went on dating sites and had a girlfriend.
Although Ms. Thuy Nhung was extremely saddened, she decided to forgive in order to rebuild her family and take care of her child. However, she forgave him at first, as she was very suspicious, so she hired someone else to test her husband. And unfortunately her husband “got duped” by using a virtual account to date a man hired by his wife…
After being posted, the story also received hundreds of shares. Most people advised her to get a divorce and collect her wealth to take care of her children.

Don’t make your story the story of the crowd.
Wanting to find a solution to the “mess” in their married life, women often go to groups in the hope of a solution. But most people are more distressed and confused. Psychologists refer to this problem as “turning your back on people.”
And this is also the frank sharing of psychologist Bui Hong Kwan (HCMC). “First, if we put ourselves in the role of the person sharing, we can empathize.
Why do they share? Surely they are facing difficulties and confusion for which no solution has yet been found, and they want to know other people’s thoughts. And the need to share is a need that deserves respect because it’s a legitimate need, anyone can have it,” Kwan said.
However, according to Mr Kwan, where to share and how to get other people’s opinions are more important. Due to the fact that each story will be a different situation written by the person sharing it, from a different and very subjective point of view.
This expert analyzes: “What we share will be what we want to say and see the problem in our own way, but it is not certain that it is the objective truth. The person who receives the story will interpret it as his own.” Will understand what we want to say according to the information available.
It is possible that those taking part in sharing their opinions will have experience or want to help others. But each story, one problem, if presented subjectively, one person’s personal experience may not be completely true for others.
I see that there are many cases of unintentional sharing, which leads to the “household issue” story being pushed away when it is discussed.
Beware of More Hurts After Sharing Widely
Outraged by the family stories brought up by women online, a lecturer in psychology at the Da Nang University of Education (Da Nang University) said that “it doesn’t solve anything” but could cause more damage. The result is wasted time of the people involved and those around them.
“It’s an approach I will never endorse. Our life isn’t about exposing the basics to the world. In the end, “bricks and stones” are for insiders only. Everyone listens to their own. Calm down to clearly understand what you are saying, what you need, what you want and resolve it yourself.
There life looks the same, husband-wife, happiness-sorrow, healing-broken… not by any advice, but by oneself. Don’t turn your story into the story of the crowd,” acknowledged this expert.
There is an online consultation fee, but it is not as good as solving it yourself
Currently on social networks, there are many accounts of Facebookers who record videos explaining how to handle household chores, how to keep husbands, how to fix or behave when their husbands have an affair. Come on, how to “treat” small things… These videos get a lot of views.
Attracted by those videos, Nguyen Thi Thanh (Hanoi) messaged the account “HHH” on Facebook with the content she wanted to consult and asked for a fee.
“They quote prices in many different forms. Quick consultation via a message costs 200,000 VND, strategic consultation via 1 hour call costs 500,000 VND, urgent consultation costs 1 million VND, The process consultation level is 3 million VND/2 months, the cost of direct consultation is 3 million VND/2 hours.
I tried quick counseling, but the “therapy” I finally got was to calm down and calm down. So I learned for myself that I can solve my own problems,” Ms. Than said.
calm down and think clearly
According to psychologists of love, marriage and family, sharing on social networks is only for reference and should be shared only with funny stories.
As for the things that are too deep about the family, the private matters of the spouses, the children should still “close the door and tell each other” first because small shares are often not comprehensive. Are there. Online audiences cannot fully understand the problem, giving correct advice when they only know half of it.
“If there is a conflict, first of all, I recommend you calm down to look at the problem objectively. Once you calm down and think about it, let’s sit down with the other person and have a straight- Share with others the solution to the problem.
If you have shared with the other party but still not able to find the solution, then you should find reputable people whom you can trust and share safely. Or in necessary cases, you can turn to professionals.
However, this is only a basis for reference, because I must be responsible for every decision I make, so I have to carefully consider and calculate it,” said expert Bui Hong Kwan.
