The Dance

[tigerlily78]

Jfun,

I can totally relate to what you said about finding satisfaction and appreciation in your job, since it seemed lacking in your Marriage. I did the same, except with volunteer work. Of course now I see that if I had perhaps been a little more deliberate in showing my H appreciation and satisfaction with his contributions to the M, that he probably might have been more prone to reciprocate. Maybe not, but surely it was a cycle we both fed into... taking each other for granted, not giving or getting the appreciation we felt we deserved.
