to feel completely miffed that men are not more respectful of us women

[stella10]

I don't really know where this is all coming from but since having my most recent baby I've been feeling unappreciated by dp. I'm not saying he should be in awe of his partner for giving him his latest child but surely if u see someone going through THAT to bring your child into the world it deserves a certain level of respect. And I feel I should be his priority in life me and his children isn't that what life is about? Then I read things on here and it really depresses me that women are being treated like shit by their partners who should worship them I'm sorry but thats how I feel. Same goes other way I appreciate what dp does for us but maybe not enough?? Maybe I should work on that. I just wonder if I'm odd for letting all these things get to me also the woman who was gang raped and died in India haunts me. Do those men have no mothers:/sisters? I just don't get it?how anyone can get like that.... Maybe I'm heading for some kind of mid life crisis I'm 32 and all the dreams I had are fading and realisation is hitting that this is it....my life as it may well be and there is no adoring partner and things to look forward to. Gorgeous kids but life is very hard is this normal? The theme of women being dis respected keeps appearing in my life and I feel devalued I'm not sure why or what wound make me feel better? Am I crazy?

I don't see how you can have a midlife crisis at 32yrs- you are hopefully nowhere approaching midlife! It is also unrealistic to expect to be worshipped. However you don't seem to have what you want from life and need to make changes- perhaps your relationship needs outside help with couple counselling?

Confirmed neurovore me...

Take a handful, they're in your left pocket, there's a good chap.

MrsTP - but I loves him, snot fair. Unless you bring Sam Vimes to life I shall harbour my enduring love for your spouse. I met him y'know, signed me book n everyfink.

Hands off my DH. Tell you what, you can have him for the 12 days of Christmas when I am MrsTerrysChocolateOrange but give him back in January.

completely obliterating need to be squared up to...and anyways I only licks yer windows.

So generous! So it's March now, only...a fair while till Hogswatch.

forgetfully wanders off calendar stuck to shoe...

I see now that I have nothing to worry about. DH's honour is safe.

Bloody hell if you feel like this at 32 you may as well end it all in a dramatic fashion now because you certainly won't cope with being 46.

What I wouldn't give to be 32 again.

It was crushing to read that back & realise how close to real life that is for me.

Apart from window licking. I've only done that once and they were made of boiled sweets.

Thank you for the edification, MrsTP, TB and tt! Dried frog could be what's in the pills I've been taking, which I thought were Fukitol. Either way, they're not working. 42.

I went out with somebody who worshipped me and it was bloody hard work and not at all a pleasant experience.

Ha thanku all for replies;-) I suppose I don't expect to be worshipped just treated like someone special in his life not looked upon like some commoner while he makes comments over relationships being easily available....had a crap day did not need that tonight!! And if I am depressed maybe I can now see the reason why.... 8 weeks ago had our baby I stil feel like he's brand new my partner not bothered. I know its not all men. It makes it worse. Others are decent. Why do I have to have this one? Why me? Why our son is he not good enough? Actualy no fuck him we are all fine we don't actually need him we wil be just fine without him maybe I needed to write it down to get it clear in my head. Sorted now thanks all xx

Forget the frog pills I think a big dose of Boner Juice is needed.

Oh! Good luck, Stella. Sounds like you've made the hard but sensible decision. You're right, depression is often the symptom of a lousy relationship! It may well go when he does.

Stay off the frog pills
