Every time the first wife's child is ill, my husband leaves during my turn. Is it right for me to feel hurt?
An urgent need such as a sick child is a reasonable excuse, but it should not become a recurring reason that neglects your rights. Feeling hurt is human; acknowledge it without blaming yourself. Try to distinguish between a genuine emergency and a habit that means your turn is always the one sacrificed. Discuss with your husband so that the time lost from your turn is made up at another time, not simply lost. Express your support for the sick child, while reminding him that you also need reassurance. If this pattern continues and your rights keep being eroded, consult a counsellor or the religious affairs office. See rotation.
