If the Husband Plans to Leave the Family…

A viewer wrote to us. "Dear Dr. Laitman, how can I explain to my husband that he has no right to leave me? We have three children. I forgive him for everything, all his infidelities, lack of love, and so on. I won’t manage without him, and neither will the children. What should I do?” While anything can happen, if children are involved, then one is obliged to live with them and raise them. Unfortunately, nowadays neither men nor women are taught a culture of relationships. Here is an example of a dumb male egoism (likely fueled by the mother's attention, which makes him feel like nothing is good enough for him). But a woman, too, must be brought up to make a place for a man. A place that he wants to call his nest, a home which is a calming and inviting place so that a man would not want to leave. Building a family should be a subject taught in middle school. It must be a specific lesson, held a couple of times a week. These matters should be discussed from an early age by both boys and girls. Such education is totally lacking. No wonder that posts and videos about family relationships have a crazy number of views. It is amazing how much we are advancing in some things, but in this area we have an absolute regression. Some say that a person has become freer… but only freer from the duties necessary in life. The pandemic and a few more such waves yet to come will "glue" us. They will force us to create a home. Nature will put us in our place, but it will take some time. Although for some “home sweet home” sounds like an outdated and repulsive word, but in the end, it will turn out that we will have to stay at home more, and we will need to be looked after. A man according to his ways, and a woman according to hers, and the children as well. But what should this helpless woman do? She can't keep her husband by force or by law. So we would tell this guy who is about to leave, to think several times about the children he is leaving behind. There is no better woman than the one you live with, and whom you have lived with for such a long time. You have children and you raised them together. Of course this creates a bond. This is all set up by nature and there is no substitute for it. This has to enter the heart. Everything happens in life, even things that are too difficult and shameful to recall or mention, but there should be one taboo: the family should not be broken up. Even a bad family, no matter what it is, should not be broken!
