Spouse's angst

My spouse's dilemma

YOU UNDERSTAND THE DILEMMA
BUT IT CURBS
AND
DISTURBS
ONES CREATIVITY
YET I RISK IT
AS THERE IS NO LIFE
WITHOUT A SPOUSE
MALE OR FEMALE
AND IF YOU  HAVE TO ACHIEVE
RISK IT EITHER WAY
YOU SHALL DECEIVE
UNLESS YOU YOURSELF
YOUR MINDS WISDOM  SEAL
AND
CONTROL THE CIRCUMSTANCES
AND
the ENVIRONMENT
LAUGH AT YOURSELF
THAT SHALL DO 
HOPEFULLY THE SPOUSE WILL
FINALLY GIVEN IN TOO.

Please read in
SMALL CASE .
NO not shouting
my eyes I can't
blame daily.

Dear Loved

Sounds like this write is talking about give and take in a marriage. It’s not too clear to me Loved. I’m a bit slow sometimes. If this is so, I’m all for it, if a relationship is worth saving. Just one line I faltered with... FINALLY {GIVEN} IN TOO. ………………perhaps you mean [GIVE] here Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell

Dear Loved

I agree with Xena on the clarity issue. I know a few people who are very happy and content to live their lives single. Single is better than in the pain of a bad marriage. Always, Cat

I liked it very much but line 5 is grammatically incorrect , maybe you could cut out in and just say 'one's creativity'. Apart from that a lovely read. Love Lou xx
