I Completely understand where are you are coming from. Although my marriage of 5 yrs is still going on strong, we’ve had our heavy ups and downs. He has his 10-year-old and I have my 9-year-old both from a past relationship. together we have a 2-year-old and a 9-month-old. So managing that many children can put a lot of stress on our marriage. He’s a very hard-working man and I am a stay at home mom but I also work very hard from home to maintain our household.

I feel that he takes me for granted and I do feel neglected at times. We have gone to couples therapy which ended up being more like my individual therapy. In the beginning of our marriage I feel that I came up a lot of myself but now I want to go back to my center. But I do worry that if I changed too rapidly dad it would affect our relationship.

I think that if we just became more open and honest with each other things would be so much better and with our relationship would run so much smoother. Because of his demanding work schedule I find it difficult to find opportunities for us to sit down and talk to each other openly.

Wish you the best on your journey and I always hope for the success in all marriages because the ones who ultimately suffer the most are the children unfortunately.
