This is something I KNOW and personally can attest .
If I don't feel appreciated, safe, valued, and placed first... then I feel hurt, used, as if I don't count, and unimportant.
Been there done that, and writing a new chapter
It is easy to dismiss what a SAHM does, or what YOU don't see on a daily basis. It is WORK ! It is physical AND it is emotionally exhausting and draining at times.
Does it have perks, occasionally... just like a job outside the home as well.
I'm hearing a man who needs to do a lot of introspection. A man who's pride has been hurt and has stuffed a lot of things down, because he didn't know how to communicate effectively in conflict.
Is it unusual? No. It is quite common. Does running away solve anything? Nope, just masks the original problem.
Can this be fixed, as long as there isn't any physical or emotional abuse, YES !
If you just want out... why are YOU on here? This is a place where we work on ourselves and our marriages. Where we honor the commitment we made to our spouse and to God.
We get hit upside the head if we are stubborn and don't see the whole picture.
Welcome to Hell! Just kidding... But in a way, not. We go through it because we care and love our spouse. We want to be a better person.
So again, why are YOU here? Do YOU want to put in the work and time, or do YOU just want to be a victim? Because what I see presently is an individual who is his own victim.
