On the one side, there are plenty of wives who may be SAHM's and who's husbands pay the bills, but who get little support beyond that -- with the kids, around the house, or wherever. They don't feel cared for or cherished in any way, and are lacking in a solid emotional connection with their husbands. They end up feeling walked on and taken for granted, and get little in return for their efforts. So no warm greeting there when hubby gets home.
As we slowly slid into our SSM this IS how we ended up. It was a gradual process to get there, the less physical connection I felt the less I did... you know the drill. It was a negative feedback system that just deteriorated our marriage over time.
Thank goodness we have broken that loop. The positive feedback method works much better.
