Hi Rose,
I can't add too much to what these guys have already said so well. This is just my feelings. I think that when I start to get really frustrated, if my husband were genuinely open and honest about his feelings of inadequecy or depression or whatever it is, I would be very understanding and a lot more patient.
What gets me is the high and mighty attitudeof superiority he has despite the way he is treating the rest of the family and handling his own affairs. While at the same time I'm working my fingers to the bone and all his problems are my fault.
I think all of us here are really good people. We want to be with the people we love, even if it means having to work a little extra hard. I just think we want to be aprreciated and treated with respect.
In other words........I want him to acknowledge that I'm the best thing that ever happened to him.
