In a recent column, a woman shared her struggles with her husband as they navigate retirement and household chores. She feels resentment towards her husband, who is older and struggles to keep up with her energy levels. Over the years, she has realized that her husband is a narcissist and a gaslighter, leading to regrets about not seeking therapy earlier in their relationship.
The woman, now in her 70s, is reflecting on the mistakes made in their marriage and wonders if it’s too late to find peace, understanding, or healing. Annie Lane advises her to prioritize her own well-being, seek individual counseling, and consider having an honest conversation with her husband if it feels right.
Lane’s message is a reminder that it’s never too late to find peace and healing, even in long-term relationships. The woman is encouraged to focus on what brings her fulfillment and to let go of resentment. The column also promotes Lane’s new anthology, “How Can I Forgive My Cheating Partner?” providing resources for those facing similar challenges in their relationships.
