Bitter party of 1

[Meghan]

Sandi - I just wanted to thank you for your points on cheerleading and criticism.

I don't think I've been very good about doing these things for my H., especially when I haven't felt like he hasn't been meeting my needs. Admiring doesn't come easily for me either, and it's been especially challenging since I've been the breadwinner and doing a good bit of housework on top of work.

I'm wondering now if that's been feeding into our situation and making it even more difficult for him to both feel like I value and respect him on top of the fact that I've been physically and somewhat emotionally withdrawn.

This might be something to work on...
