We have to fix ourselves and be happy with ourselves to gain the confidence we need so we aren't do dependant on our spouses .if we don't love ourselves how can anyone love us or how can we feel loved.

Hi Mandi, I'm in the same boat. And my significant other is a medic :-) So, unless my arms or legs are literally severed from my body, I get no sympathy, love or attention from him...which drives my thoughts in a very wrong direction to try and get his attention.

We must not let others' inability to show love let us doubt ourselves. I know its difficult, but together we can overcome this feelings! Strongs Friend! Hugs
Thanx darkangel1. Yea im trying my best to feel good about myself and maybe someday he will come around. Maybe if i learn to love myself he will do the same.... i jus wish there was step by step instructions to do it?
I know that I have at times was inattentive and distracted. And missed out on pertinent opportunities to voice appreciation. I truly regret those times.
Thanx so much everyone. I have taken some steps for example starting to study.... It has also helped me to focus more on my son. to look for special moments between us and see all the good things. Although i have to constantly remind myself that i am my own person and need to find the balance for myself and hubby i feel better. I think i just shifted the focus from being all i can be for my husband to being all i need to be for myself and my son.
