I've only just seen this

so I'm sorry about the late reply.
I'm glad you posted this Fuzzy.

I try to talk to my husband but he's too busy and I stress him out....... I can't do that it would "prove" how bad I am if I upset him.........

In some ways that is similar to me IRL but in my case it's more because I want to handle things on my own rather than share them, because I tend to think that other people won't understand... I am usually surprised, when I do finally actually tell them, that they are more understanding than I'd think they would be, and that they don't mind me telling them because they *want* to help me. Same with your husband. He didn't marry you because you're some kind of trophy for him. "For better, for worse" - he'd *want* tto try to help you. If he keeps brushing you off then maybe over the years he's got his priorities wrong and tries to look to his work before his wife. In this case then maybe it's time to remind him that he did marry you, after all, not his business. If he's stressed out by his work and doesn't want to listen to you, then stress that you *do* want him to listen to you. You should be the most important person in his life, not an afterthought.

I'm feeling as if my "hugs" etc aren't much or any use to people anyway

Hugs are hugs, Fuzzy, and as long as they're genuine then people love to accept them! Whether you're completely exhausted or not, you've still taken the time to consider the hugged person and to actually post to them. Anybody will appreciate that, or they should do.
