I know that I will get flamed but please hear me out. I have changed the name in case anyone recognises me. In recent times I have nursed my husband through a life-threatening illness. He is better now. I did not expect thanks or gratitude but what I did expect was a little bit of respect. Instead, my husband constantly puts me down, does sneaky things (but he says its ok because he tells me after ) I wore myself out caring for him and have let myself go a bit. I have put two stone on, roots need doing and my nails are a mess. I feel like I
have no fight left in me.
I cannot leave because of several things but I do need to get my self-confidence back somehow. I hate looking at myself in the mirror.
Has anyone else been in this situation? I have started healthy eating today and will have my roots done next week. Its probably a silly post but I feel like I am drowning. I have good friends so I am lucky. I think I have lost my identity, I used to be so confident. Deep down I know that I love my husband I just don't like him very much. I feel resentful but maybe its because I have let myself drift into this unhappy position Maybe if I can get myself back to being healthy I will feel stronger. Does anyone out there feel like a stealth mission to improve
themselves. The worse thing is that I know that if I tell my husband he will just say that he has heard it all before, and to be fair he has.
