My husband is great, but he’s so critical and judgmental, like his parents. Usually about the right things but sometimes I just feel so alone, like he’s my manager and not my partner. We don’t work together well, but he works hard and always has my back when I need it. Sometimes tho I wish I had a partner who was more chill like me. The constant feeling of not measuring up has me losing my mind.

@SomethingOrOther in any case, I really appreciate your kindness 💕 It’s good to know I’m not being unreasonable
❤️❤️ It sounds like you are not having some of your needs met! Have you talked to him before about how you feel and what you feel that you need? That sounds very draining!

@ridikulous Please remember that you matter, too. You work hard, too. You deserve to be heard, too. You obviously care about your husband. But don't lose yourself. Don't let anyone walk over you. Your not a doormat. Your emotions are there to help you understand things that don't feel good or that feel important. They are valid. Even if what the emotions are having you think isn't as prudent to the moment. They can be used to let you know yourself better. And let you, know what YOU care about. And from there you can make healthy choices about how to hopefully sate those emotions! And the get back to feeling like smiling! If you want to of course!
@SomethingOrOther thank you for understanding! I appreciate your words ♥️ I tried to, but sometimes I feel like he thinks his needs are more important and in a way they are. I’m not making excuses for him, I think. He works very hard and deals with a lot of stress and helps me in many ways. But he’s dismissive of my feelings sometimes or we talk about it and he’ll just forget, like he’s not really listening. I have a hard time discerning when my feelings are a legitimate concern or if I’m being sensitive (I admit I can be inexplicably moody sometimes). Idk. So I tend to just bottle it up because I feel like it’s not worth talking about and/or it’s a small thing I shouldn’t bother him with when he’s already so stressed
