This feeling can occur alot especially if you are feeling overwhelmed by responsibility within the relationship. You may feel that you are carrying more of the weight than the other person. There is also in-laws, friends, etc to deal with other than your own. Don't try, but DO, schedule time away, whether at the park, library, track, gym, spa, knitting club,etc. Find time for you. Time for you to leave your troubles at the door.

For me it's always been about pure, unadulterated, lust! Well. that's not entirely true, I think it's really about how I feel about myself and when your spouse doesn't make you feel like you're desireable, you seek that feeling elsewhere. Okay that and unadulterated lust ;-)

LUCKILY I DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND IS GREAT AT HELPING ME OUT WITH ALL THE CHORES. MOST OF THE OTHER MEN I KNEW EXPECTED THIS TO BE THE JOB OF A WOMAN. I KINDA FEEL SORRY FOR THEM.

I would have to say that I have a tendency to expect too much, too fast. I am of the age and mind set that I want to be married, and unfortunately I almost lost the man that I truly love because of this. We are happily engaged now, but my insistence on knowing exactly where we were in our relationship caused him to pull away. That was my wake up call. We have since come to a compromise regarding boundaries, and are much, much happier and comfortable with each other. I never would have categorised myself as a pushy person, but I found out that when faced with losing something that I had never had before, I could step back and see the bigger picture. I give advice often about noticing the needs of your partner or spouse and accepting those needs without question, I just wished I would have taken my own advice a little sooner than I did. Peace.

That's great! I feel the same about married men.  Although i haven't been able to do it, I fantasize about it all the time.

I miss the thought of feeling a completeness in my life that marriage provided. We both did our part to enhance the breakdown of compatibility, and for that I have my regrets. I miss the potential for happiness that we never gave a fair chance to aquire. The what if's of it all. 6 years and the unanswerable questions still linger. I don't miss the stress and complications and the wasted days of arguing over false senses of childish insecurity.

I was too. Sometimes I still am a bit, but then I realize..she has a stressfull job, a husband, 2 kids....and doesnt go out much. Thats when i'm happy to be me, with no kids, still in college and going out. You just have to understand that everyone is different. You'll have your day.

I tend to avoid conflict with the exception of my husband. I tell him what is on my mind and if he makes me mad.

no matter how much you plan, organize and control there is something that will not go as expected.\n\nif you are too worried about what is going to go wrong you won't be able to enjoy your day.  the most important thing you should remember is that you are marrying the one you love...bask in the moment, smile and enjoy yourself.  if you can't do that you will only remember the worst that happened.

Sometimes. I feel overwhelmed by little things sometimes because the big things seem to drain me. Sometimes reaching out to help that certain person is just too much.

I have had so many stuggles in the past but I think the worst is that..When I think of my past I think of my ex-husband and I ache when I think of all the crap I put up with.I also ache when I think about what the divorce has done to my children.I do smile when I think of how much brighter the future is for me.I guess the past is a good reminder of how to improve my life.I am making a better life for myself and my children.The biggest triggers for me are smell.I have no clue why.

If I could change something about my life, it would be to do with my self-confidence.  I have never felt important or felt like I had anything special to offer other people.  I have had several bouts of depression in which case each one seems to be harder to get through than the one before.\n\nI am being married next month and the one thing that is really important to me at the wedding is that I feel beautiful when my pictures are being taken.  I know it sounds very superficial and I understand that.  I can count on both hands how many times I have been told that I was beautiful and actually felt it.  I want to be able to look back at the pictures and think that I am a beautiful woman, inside and out. \n\n I live in Eastern Canada and I do not believe that we have a shortage of resources here or anything like that.  In order for me to get stronger emotionally and mentally, I think I would have to be able to meet with a counselor and talk things out.  Because of the fact that I am 21 years old, I feel that it is a great time for me to gain the self-confidence that I have always longed for.  I want to get this resolved before I have children as I do not want them to go through life following my example of being the person who couldn't stand up for herself or give her opinion.  When my children look at me, I want them to see a strong and confident woman who they look up to.
