The straw that breaks the camel’s back can be the smallest, most unexpected thing. And when it comes to marriage, sometimes the camel’s humps aren’t filled with water, the healing properties of the desert, but with layers and layers of resentment? It’s no wonder that this young mother’s camel’s back snapped, not only because the straw sat on top of a million other straws, but because her emotional well was already dry.

In practically all relationships, there’s a fine line between the final nail in the coffin and the icing on the cake. Sometimes, it’s not the tipping point but the tipping scale that gets you, where every little thing starts to feel like it’s weighing you down. Like the stay-at-home mom at the center of today’s story, who’s in a marriage where every conversation feels like a perfect storm of misunderstanding, leaving both parties burned out and wondering if they’ve reached the end of the rope.
