sky I sometimes have similar feelings. I crave attention and acceptance, and acknowledgement from my husband. He works very hard, long days, and is the sole earner for our family and he has days when there really isn't much left for me. I think it as wiretwister said that it sometimes just doesn't have anything to do with me... I know that he loves me. I have to remind myself of just all he does to keep things in perspective when I start feeling like I need more and that he does those things because he loves me and our family.
