Even my H thinks so, but what he doesn't seem to know is that I need a lot of encouragement.....in about every way a person could use it. I may even appear to have a lot of self-confidence, but I need to be given a certain amount of praise or compliments from my H to "bloom" like a rose. Whenever he critisizes me.....it is like I rebell.
It is SO GOOD that you recognize this about yourself!!
Now, the most important thing that you can possibly do to your marriage is:
Tell your husband this!!!
lets take the guesswork out of this. it's not that he "doesnt seem to know". I can tell you right now: he has no idea
Tell him. Not in an offhand, "by the way" kinda way. but sit down with him, and dont get up until you are positive that he really understands how important this is to you. And then be prepared to remind him occasionally
betcha this will help how you feel about him, if he follows through on it.
Some women have this bizzare attitude about their husbands, "Well, if he really loved me, he'd just KNOW to ...." Well, if they really loved their husbands they'd tell him about it!
