Do you take this man to be…
I am writing this to you
As I feel your weren’t listening to the vowels your promised me
So I would like to rewrite my wedding vowels
I will not be punched, pinched, kicked, slapped, pushed, hit or choked
I will not be sworn at
Sworn too, screamed at
Put down or yelled at
I will not be forced to have sex against my will
I will not be spat on, have alcohol poured on myself
I will not be belittled in public or in my home
I will hot have my hair pulled
Are you getting this, listening at all?
In other words you cannot physically, mentally or sexually abuse me no more
You can shower me with compliments, nice conversation and even the occasional gift
You can take care of me when I am sick
Do the housework because you want to help
In other words you can treat me with the respect I deserve
If you don’t like these vowels then “I do” becomes “I don’t”
It’s your choice
And most importantly,
Mine.
