Forget thunderbolts and the guy pushing that big rock up a hill for like, his whole life. Did you ever notice that gods in Greek mythology had an awful lot of relationship problems? The Trojan War, after all, was all about one woman, Helen of Troy.
You might think, "Okay, but that was hundreds of years ago. And besides, those were myths." But take a look at some of these relationship troubles from Ancient Greece and judge for yourself. We’re all still fighting about the same stuff!
Who does he think he is...god?
Actually, according to Greek mythology Zeus was the god of all gods and Hera was his wife. Hera was really insecure around Zeus–and she had good reason to be. It seemed like every time she turned her back, and sometimes when she didn't, Zeus was cheating on her with some goddess or another...and sometimes even with a mere mortal (a human)!
Hera: How can he say he loves me and then cheat on me all the time? Sometimes he even disguises himself in the form of another animal...like a swan...just to weasel his way in. He should try a RAT disguise.
Zeus: Yo! I'm the god of all gods. I can do whatever I want!
Love & War Advisor: Zeus, shame on you. Really, it doesn't matter who you are, cheating is always wrong if you and your partner have made a decision to be faithful to each other.
And Hera, this has happened many times before. You have to realize that the situation may not change, so you've got to decide if you want to put up with this sort of behavior. And believe it or not, there are other gods out there. They may not be "the god of all gods," but they might be more godly in their treatment of you. And that's important in a relationship.
