I am otherwise very happy with my life but my dh is completly refusing to acknowledge my contribution to our family. I feel he doesn't appreciate me and when I told him this he didn't seem to think I do much to be appreciated. He on the other hand works a 60hr wk and does loads of DIY etc and consequently gets all sulky if I don't tell him how wonderful he is on a regular basis!
I do not sit at home all day doing nothing, I have 18mth ds and am 28wks pg. I work weekends to contrbute financially, do all the housework and garden, ds is happy & confident and has plenty of one to one attention - I also do all the finances and shopping not to mention the usual organising of both families birtdays, special occasions etc and xmas...
However I do not get up at 5.30am like dh and in his eyes I don't think he will ever think my contribution matches his...
I actually think I might ask for seperation.. am I overreacting or am I right to call it a day if he continues to refuse to admit I also deserve a little appreciation....

I don't sit around doing nothing all day and I don't have the easy option - but why can't dh see this?
