John and Mary have been married for six years now and have two children.
Three months ago, Mary heard that John is having an affair with someone in his office.
The problem is that every time Mary tries to talk to John about what she has heard they end up fighting.
During the time she has been married, she has had an STI twice but even when she told him about it, John refused to go with her to the local clinic.
Mary is unhappy with the way things are, but is afraid of what will happen if she approaches John. Mary’s parents and friends just say this is the way things are in marriage and she must live with it.
Does Mary’s story sound familiar?
