Is it too much to ask to be wanted? Not needed, not dealt with as an obligation but actually wanted.
For dh to not feel he has to spend time with me of an evening because he feels it's what he ought to do or because I've made it clear I'm sick of being ignored but to suggest we watch a film or have an early night
For someone, anyone, I really don't care who, to pick up the phone and ring me and suggest we go for a coffee and cake
To not have to say to people can we go out or can I come over because I want to catch up but be made to feel a nuisance once I'm there and when the conversation about them has dried up be made to feel like I have to leave
What do I have to do to get someone to want to spend time with me? I bend over backwards to help people where I can, I don't whinge and moan about what's going on in my life because who needs to be around a total eeyore?
Is it too much to ask to be wanted? To not feel like an after thought or an obligation?
