I just get tired of always being a taxi, a cook, a maid and so on. I don't know that I even feel like a wife anymore. I am jsut kinda here. My husband has said before that I need some kind of a hobby. Honestly, it would be nice but who has the time. I would love to feel wanted again. I was just wondering I how many of you have felt like this at some point in time.

Oh man, have you hit on a good question. When we were first together, I felt needed and wanted. Back then I didn't speak up for myself and took whatever I was dealt. I quit doing that and now I feel I'm just here...not really wanted and definitely not needed. I honestly don't think he'd want me to leave. He just doesn't really show appreciation for anything. Oh well, what can ya do?
