8 Things Married Women Often Say

Married women often wish that they were unmarried. We are not really that different from men in that regard. Marriage comes with its package of compromises and sacrifices. And sometimes, things get very tough for married women. Married women have problems that they feel their unmarried counterparts cannot understand. There are some things married women are prone to saying when they are stressed out.
