Question by Aurora: Do Childhood Victims of Bullying Go On to Have Bad Marriages?
Once, a long time ago on the Christian radio drama “Unshackled”, I heard a story about a man who had been bullied as a child. His parents told him to just ignore it; in other words, they didn’t teach him how to deal with it. He was still living at home as a grown man. His mother died, and his father remarried. The new evil stepmother ran him off, telling him not to dare tell his father.
So he was alone in the world. He signed up with a dating service, met a woman there, and married her. All went well, until he lost his job. His wife angrily told him he had one month to find another one, or else she was leaving him. Every day he came home without a new job, she warned him he had one less day to find one. After a month of this, he came home to an empty house. He tore up all his pictures of her and threw them in the river.
Sometime afterward, he became a Christian, and, as typical of an “Unshackled” story, that was the end. As far as I know, he never gained good social skills.
A co-worker of mine said people who participate in team sports, especially girls, tend to have better marriages. But while growing up, I’ve noticed team sports tend to provoke bullying, if a particular player isn’t good enough. My co-worker said that doesn’t happen if they have a really good coach, but according to my experience, very few coaches care. That’s why, to this day, I prefer solo sports like snowboarding and skating, rather than football and other team sports.
I realize not much research has been done on this. What do you guys think?
