Is anything making you feel like this more recently? Is there a reason you feel you need to put your husband's needs above yours, instead of something a bit more equal? Your needs are important, too.  |
Thanks yellow_fleurs.
A few things have been making me feel like this more recently. We don't have supportive family (and I have no siblings). He doesn't talk much to his siblings (he hasn't for a long time) and he is ok with that. He thinks I talk ''too much''... most other people have criticised me for being ''too quiet''. He gets stressed when he receives ''too much'' sensory input (talking etc) but likes the tv. I do not. So I'm ''alone'' in the evenings. It makes the negative chatter in my head worse sometimes. He thinks we interact a lot (I don't). Also he is practical and I am not
(the abusers told me I am ''useless''
) (I think I have a lot of difficulty staying focused on practical things and some other reasons...) I've been trying to find some distractions.....
