Aaron is confused. Does his wife love him or hate him? He just doesn’t know. But considering the extremes of the two possibilities how is it possible that the man doesn’t know what his wife is feeling? Love is a warm emotion filled with tender care while hate is an aggressive and destructive energy. One ought to be able to sort the two out!
Good Times and Bad Times
There is a simple explanation however for Aaron’s confusion — Aaron’s wife Sari behaves in radically different ways in different situations. When things are going her way and she is not particularly stressed Sari is friendly and bubbly. Often she’ll turn to Aaron and express her heartfelt appreciation for all that he is and does. “You are the best husband ever!” she’ll exclaim. “No one has a better husband than me!” On these kinds of days Aaron knows exactly how much his wife loves him. He feels respected acknowledged and cared for.
But then there are the other days — days when Sari is tense or overwhelmed. It can happen when the kids are out of school for too many days or when she has a big project to do at work. It’s perfectly understandable that she should be on edge — anyone might feel equally tense. However if Aaron happens to do or say something the wrong way on such a day then POW Sari No. 2 appears:
“I can’t count on you for anything! I have no idea why I married you in the first place. You’re absolutely useless!” she’ll scream at the top of her lungs (regardless of how many kids are around to hear her). Maybe Aaron forgot to do an errand or maybe he had trouble putting one of the little ones to bed; whatever it was Sari’s response is a deep personal attack on him and their relationship. She feels relieved after discharging her negative energy. However Aaron now smothering in the discharge of his wife’s toxic energy feels sick in every cell of his body.
