Are You Actually Forgiving That Man Or Just Being Passive Aggressive?

A viral post came up in my Facebook memories from years ago. It reads as follows:

My husband made me so mad yesterday I just stormed off.

Two hours later I come back and he’s like, “You ready to watch The Four on Hulu?” and I was like, “Yeah, let me get the snacks!”

This is marriage…learning to let go of offenses and walk in forgiveness.

Whew chile! Trying to find something to do for 2 hours was hard!

If this is marriage I certainly don’t want it. Do you?

The energy of this young lady comes off as very desperate. From the post alone I could tell she was very happy to belong to someone and finally carry the title of wife. And she didn’t want to do anything to inconvenience her husband and make him believe he could find peace elsewhere in another woman.

I don’t know about you, but being upset at anyone for over two hours means that she was really bothered, right? And to suddenly act like nothing happened and call it walking in forgiveness is definitely her gaslighting herself and downplaying her emotions, all because she loves the idea of marriage more than effectively communicating her feelings and problem solving.
