He Deserves More
06/12/2015


This is a warning to wives. You are not safe. I spent the last decade of my marriage occasionally being my husband's girlfriend, but mostly being a naggy wife. I assumed because I married a good man, I could put in minimal effort and he'd "understand" because he loved me and loved the family we made. I was wrong.  He needed me. He needed me to love him. He needed me to want him. He needed me to need him. Instead I relied on him and demanded of him without being grateful. It's his job, right? He lost interest in being my one-sided support and as a result lost interest in me. 

Life is hard, children are challenging and marriage takes work. I can tell you that any inconvenience you face when caring for your husband is microscopic compared to the pain you'll feel when he realizes he deserves so much more.
