We are having our own issues and working on it as we speak. However, even with all our issues, I have never felt like we were roommates. For you to feel that way, makes me think there is a deeper issue going on. I don't know all the issues you have had in the past but it's possible it stems from that or maybe it's something else. Like a previous poster, I have heard good things about The 5 Love Languages.<br /><br />Also, I don't think women should be treated like queens or that we deserve the world. At least, that's not how I think. Should your husband show and tell you he loves you...absolutely. But, to me, it's not all about the gifts/cards. And, sometimes men just aren't good at that. At the beginning of a relationship, it's always different because everything is new. And as time goes on, that newness wears off. Marriage is 100/100...each person has to give 100% of themself. Yes, there is compromise but both parties has to be willing to do so. Ultimately, only you can decide if this is how you want to live your life. See about counseling or talking to a pastor. If he doesn't want to listen when you talk, write him a letter and ask him to respond.<br /><br /><br />Wish you all the best!~Carol Ann~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01832204844867183524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548834348001858438.post-90931148696769248912012-02-07T10:59:35.175-05:002012-02-07T10:59:35.175-05:00Reading this made me so sad :(

This book shows you a completely different perspective on the matter of expressing your love to your spouse. I've seen it for as cheap as $5 +shipping online - I think it would be greatly worth checking out.<br />While I agree that marriage does mean sacrifice, and a lot of it, you shouldn't have to go without feeling loved. Everyone deserves to know that they are truly loved and cherished.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346473903299968006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548834348001858438.post-48082435011916299322012-02-06T22:36:04.734-05:002012-02-06T22:36:04.734-05:00I can identify with parts of this post, and it'...I can identify with parts of this post, and it's hard.

You deserve SO much more than that. :( Please don't take offense when I say that it sounds like your husband isn't happy, because that just does not seem like normal behavior. A husband should love and adore his wife, not ignore her and make her feel awful about herself. You are young, gorgeous, full of life, momma of 2 gorgeous babies, and you deserve to be spoiled and pampered. Him forgetting you on Mother's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.. is just not right. That just makes me want to cry!!Sailor's Sweethearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382869947029834500noreply@blogger.com
