An excerpt of my book...The Wives of Machismo

At that moment, the bathroom door opens, "Isabel, what happened?" asks Isabel's mom.

Isabel removed the towel. She has a busted lip and a big cut on her forehead.

"Isabel, who did this to you?" her mom asks.

Scared to tell her mom, she whispers, "It was Juan."

"Why did Juan do this to you? she asks.

Isabel cries thinking her Mom may hug her or hold her. Instead her Mom begins to yell.

"What did you do? You had to have done something wrong for Juan to do this to you!"

Isabel frowns and is confused at her mom's reaction.

'Mom, I didn't do anything. All I did was ask him what was wrong because he wasn't talking to me." cried Isabel.

"Isabel! You need to learn to keep your mouth shut! Men don't like to be questioned," her mom says.

"Mom, a man isn't supposed to hit a woman," says Isabel.

So, you find out your man is talking to another woman. . . there are women that will address it, argue it, make her demands, and give him an ultimatum- he either stops this or your relationship will be over. This is a healthy response. You keep your dignity, whether he chooses you or her, because you will not tolerate that he continues this relationship. You hold yourself up high. You are worthy.

You may end up living your happiest life yet. Then there's the unhealthy way to handle this. . . some women become quite pathetic. Yes, they will address their husband about the other woman, but they will cry, they will beg, they will compare themselves to this woman. They become unstable and not want the man to do anything else but talk to them about this. They will stalk the other woman on social media. They will fin...

Are you married? Or are you roommates?

Are you married? Or are you roommates? This is a very important question. Many years can go by without romance, without feeling special, not feeling like his pretty girl. Do you sit close to each other when you watch television? Or do you sit several feet apart? Have you held hands lately? Do you hug each other? Is intimate kissing a part of your daily lives? Maybe you realize none of this is happening. You know this isn't right, but you let it go. You let time fly without intimacy. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, months turn into years. Before you know it, you realize how many years you have let go by without taking action. It takes effort to address the marriage. It's too easy to get comfortable living as roommates. You both can do what you want, when you want, but don't forget to do things together. You must plan dates. Can you make it a point to sit beside your husband, instead of several feet away? How about you grab his hand, hold his hand, this may feel...
