Have you guys ever felt that all your loved ones are too busy in their own lives to give importance to you? And your pride stops you from accepting that to them. You have given them time and mind and when you were in need of it they seem to unnotice, and yet they are the closest to you. Please do tell me if you have been having such encounters and whether there's a way to go around it. Alienate yourself from these people.

In a way, I sort of feel like this now, but it's not my loved one's fault. My boyfriend is away in the army, pretty soon he'll be in Korea. He's been gone since May and I wasn't able to talk to him until after he had graduated from basic training. Even now I still don't get to talk to him a lot because he's always busy or he has people telling him what to do. Sometimes he just doesn't get the time to always pay attention to me. He says I come first but really, in the army it's hard because they control your every move. It's not his fault but it's still a little sad sometimes when he's not able to give me time.

He is doing a great thing, it's just hard sometimes to always be here without him. I know that if he could, he'd give me all the time in the world because that's what he used to do for me before he left.
I do think it's sad though when there are people with all this time yet they're somehow "too busy" for their friends or family.

My husband frequently complains that our son, who lives less than 100 miles from us, does not visit us very often. He is good about calling, usually once a week. We also sometimes communicate via e-mail. However, my husband thinks he should come visit more than every few months. I remind my husband that the road goes both ways. Our son has a very demanding job,a son in college and one in middle school. The younger son lives with his ex, so he has to go to the ex's ho use to see him. I think he does good to call us once a week and visit every few months. We could go see our son just about anytime, but hubby won't go.

But what if your son remembers you only in times of need and then forget about you. In such a case I am sure you will think of punishing him. He does not take you for granted and thats what matter the most. Just showing that you are loved from time to time is enough. :D

When I started feeling that way, it became a huge fight between me and my husband. Some things lead to another that I decided I had to leave the house and have time for myself to think things through. After several months, I came back, we talked it over and now 5 years later, there has been a great change.

Well i have faced this situation many a times in my life when my loved ones get too busy that they find no time to even bother about us and this disappoints me to the core. i feel like alienating myself from them completely for a while and then after some time i start realizing that this is life and one has to work hard in order to earn money and earn an identity for himself in this highly competitive world. We should be patient in that case and wait for the right time to come.
What say?

Its an old saying that good things come to those who wait. But they dont say how long. It seems like i have been waiting forever and now I am the one whose been taken for granted. Its just disappointing to see my friends act like this when I have proven my worth every time.

Giving without expecting anything in return will save you a lot of grief when it comes to your loved ones. I learned this when I was adjusting to my daughter being all grown up and not needing me anymore.
