Discussions as a couple are inevitable, but the most important thing among the differences is that they can be reconciled as long as respect is not violated, through proper management of the emotions we feel at the moment. However, sometimes the discussions seem to have no solution and there are those who believe that it is better to take a few minutes alone to take a deep breath and wait to talk about it with a “cool head”.
In this way, it is very common for some couples to consider sleeping instead of continuing to argue, without taking into account that, in the course of about eight hours of sleep, many things can happen. Such is the case of Ashley Murrell, from the United Kingdom, who today regrets very much having gone to sleep angry with Mike, her husband, because, the next morning, he woke up dead.
According to Ashley’s account, it all started when her husband was working several days, which, being very long and heavy, caused the man’s health to deteriorate. This situation was also a reason for the couple to argue constantly, as Ashley, worried about her husband, pointed out that she should have more rest.
However, the man, concerned about providing economic stability for his wife and children, continued to work for long periods of time, ignoring his wife’s recommendations.
One day, Mikey arrived quite upset and tired, which is why Ashley got upset with him, because in her eagerness to ensure the well-being of her husband, she started the dispute that was not resolved before they went to sleep.
When he got home that night, he was a mess, I’ve never seen him so exhausted. I couldn’t bear to see him like this and I got angry. I was sick of it.
Due to the conflict, Ashley sent him to sleep on the couch. For this reason, today, the same woman declares that “it was a stupid decision”, because the next morning, when she tried to wake him up, she found her husband dead on the sofa.
Heartbroken at having lost the father of her children in such a way, Ashley also revealed that she later found out that Mike was working overtime as a carpet cleaner to save money for their anniversary, planning a trip for the two of them to Prague. Added to this, the girl says she feels very guilty and assures that she would give anything to change what happened that night.
I felt so guilty. She was so mad at myself for making her sleep on the couch. I still find it very hard to think that my last words to him were out of anger. Losing Mikey has changed my whole outlook on life. Life is too short to go to bed angry and not spend every moment you can with your family.
Her unfortunate experience has led her to motivate couples to never go to sleep angry, even when anger takes over the situation, to try to find the point where they can reconcile.
