Married Woman #3
I am a married woman with children, a husband and I don’t feel loved, appreciated or even needed. I have given so much of myself to my husband, my marriage and my children but no one ever stops to acknowledge me. I want to feel those same emotions that I fulfill for my husband. I am his comforter, his lover, and his friend. Whenever he needs me I am there. When I need someone though, I have no one but myself to comfort me, hold me, hell love me. All he ever does is take, take, take!! I wish for once he would say thank you, I appreciate you for what you do. I appreciate you for who you are. I need you in my life. If he told me he loved me everyday, I’d be happy.
My husband puts his wants and needs before mine. He never says he loves me without me telling him first. “I love you too!” Yuk! If I hear that one more time I am going to puke! I feel that he’s just saying it to return the favor. It’s not like he really means it or anything. I always say it’s not what you say but it’s what you do. I want to be happy again. I want to feel loved again.
Girlfriend, How long have you been feeling this way? You can’t go on like this. Your inner being will die. A person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. The second greatest is to feel loved. I personally feel that these two needs run neck and neck. And you are right words don’t mean a thing, it’s action that makes everything change. Love is a verb and a verb is an action. So to love someone is to show someone not just merely telling them. Talk to your husband. Tell him how you feel and if you have already done that, do it again. If that doesn’t work, suggest going to counseling, which he undoubtedly will refuse, especially if he is a brotha (african-american male, black man, etc.) but it is worth a try. If that doesn’t work, write him a letter telling him how you feel and then mail it to him. Maybe this will catch his attention. You can always call Oprah and volunteer for Dr. Phil’s get real challenge. That ought to get his attention. Dr. Phil seems to be tough, but he accomplishes the goals of those who seek his assistance. You may feel this to be somewhat extreme, but what ever might work is worth a try. What I am saying is make sure you do everything that you can to let him know how you feel and give him every opportunity to respond and do something different. If that doesn’t work, maybe you need to find someone who does appreciate you. Now I’m not telling you to divorce him, just consider your options. If you do decide to leave him, at least you can say you did everything you could to make things work.
