Real Housewife: Cynthia Gets a Does of Reality

Every Sunday evening I like to unwind by watching episodes of the Real Housewives: Atlanta.  To be honest I don’t really know why I watch it.  I don’t like the character that is portrayed by Nene, but I’m always interested in what’s going on with the other housewives, specifically Sheree and Kandi.

Well this show Cynthia visited her best friend in NY and during that conversation she mentioned a few things that stuck out with me.  She mentioned that she regrets leaving New York and her marriage is a bit stressful.  She feels like she has to keep everyone together.  Interesting enough I started to think about what I have seen from her last season and this season.  Cynthia strikes me as the type of women that want’s everyone to  be happy.  She doesn’t like drama and when it comes to her marriage both her spouse and her family should (must) get along.  But the reality is this does not always happen, and she’s finding this out the hard way.

We all know that marriage can be hard but if your family and your mate did not get along prior to marriage then there is a very slim change that things will change after marriage (especially within the first couple of years).  So when you decide to say yes to this person’s marriage proposal you have decide right there and then if you are in this regardless of what you family and friends think.  The same things applies when it comes to your business.

As moms we want to make sure we are making the right decisions for our children and as a wife we love (and in most cases need) the support of our spouse, and usually that is not enough.  We also look for the support of our loved ones, our mothers, siblings etc.  And in the beginning getting that support can be like pulling teeth.  They will not understand what you are going through and why you choose to put yourself and your family through it.  They may even consider you to be selfish.  But like with a marriage, once you decide to embark on this journey you must do it wholeheartedly regardless of what family may think.  It’s your life and the only person that has to deal with your choices is you.  Everyone else goes home, close the door and live their lives the way they choose so you must do the same.
