I know what you mean by wanted to feel wanted! I feel that way too and right now I feel useless and disgusting. Isn't it funny that we are the victims and yet we are the ones feeling worthless?!?
I really don't know what to tell you on this issue. I am going through the same thoughts. I feel like if I am too nice and understanding, then he is only going to view me as a friend and think that I am ok with what he is doing. On the other hand, if I am mean and nasty to him, why would he ever want to come home.
Sorry I can't give you any answers but I wanted you to know that i am thinking about you! My suggestion would just be to continue doing what you are doing. Maybe he will see how the home has changed and see what he is truly missing out on. That you aren't just sitting in the chair with a box of bon-bons pining your life away for him. Make him see what he is missing. I guess I have just given myself some advice as well. See how that works?!?!
