my husband and I both work full time. he comes home everyday exhausted and acts like talking to me and just spending time with him after a long day takes all the rest of his energy (small comments like "you're so needy"). tonight he just go upstairs, barely says 2 words to me and falls asleep. I'm trying to be sympathetic, but I feel like I'm going crazy just for having emotional needs. is this normal? do I just need to get over it?
You’re not going crazy! That’s not normal like how can these men think we are invisible! I mean just if he would give just a little attention to you it would go a long way be careful most anxiety is caused by our needs not being met and trust I know I live this🥲
yes exactly! At the same time though my anxiety is SKY HIGH because I also realize he has needs like sleep - but part of me is also like why are you in a marriage if I'm essentially at this point a roommate+ sex?
My boyfriend is the same way when he gets home this is normal so your not crazy lol my boyfriend makes a plan with me on a day we can hangout together maybe that can help you guys 🙂
