I was watching a broadcast yesterday of a very open and honest couple who described some of the marriage problems they had overcome. Determined to be the 'good little wife' and not to repeat the mistakes of her aggressive father, the wife, who we shall call Sally had taken to holding all her anger inside. Sally never contradicted her husband, never nagged and never did anything to disturb the peace. However, many issues arose which were left unresolved and Sally's anger eventually erupted into violence - the very thing Sally had been so desperately trying to avoid!
