..hi.. I do have such experience also.. that after giving so much or even everything, my husband tends to take me for granted.. I have had and still, I'm having this experience until now and I'm hurt.. Maybe, if this continues, I will end up leaving my husband and taking care of my little girl alone.. Anyway, I can live without him.. in the first place, he doesn't have a job.. for you, I don't know what's going on with your life.. but if you can still bear that, try to preserve your relationship so that it will last long.. give everything, but reserve some love for yourself..

Hi I am sorry to hear that,but I think at some point in your life you have to step up. I am so fed up of doing the routine chores myself but there is no appreciation at all I am sure all women are capable of living alone but all of us want to think about our kids first Do think about your kid and then decide

I feel this way every day of the week. It's life as we know it. Things won't change till we change them.

I have plenty of time have been taken for granted from my husband. I think it might be my fault.. I love taking car of people who ever the person might be. I taken care of my husband since the very first day. and now we have a 4month son Im abit more exhausted. So I need help around the house. We both work but I do everything at our house. He automate thinks I will take care of it and it bother the hell out of me. I spoke to him about it and he says he will try to help and he does from time to time but MOST of the time its still me. and hate if my house looks a mess, its just not me. So Itry and do everything on my own and I get stress out. then he tell me Im moody that I need to relax.. How can I relax if Im the only one doing things.
