Dh and i have had problems in the past, mainly after dd arrived (now 3) we have been workong3 through these. His main complaints were i didn't pay him enough attention, he felt left out and that i didn't do enough around the house (i work full time as well as him and have done since dd was 7 months old) we've been through some marriage counselling so are getting back on track.
I have recently been promoted at work (never been interested in a managers role but was asked to take it so thought i'd give it a go!) And without meaning to sound conceited am doing pretty well in it. Previous role holder knew they were going for a while so i had a few issues handed over to me that they didn't sort out but i've worked really hard to get it back on track. Have received some praise for senior collegues on my efforts.
However it has meant that i have had to work some longer hours, including a few evenings after dd has gone to bed. Dh hasn't been around much either due to shifts so we haven't really seen each other much. But this morning when he got in from work and dd was having a rare lie in he started moaning again about not getting any attention, how i should be jumping on him (i'm so tired and wanted to make the most of sleeping in past 7!) And that he felt ignored. He then rolled over and went to sleep.
I had a really important meeting last week which dh knew i was worried about. Meeting went really well, and when i told him all i got was the comment 'well done for being a suck up!'
Just feeling a bit under appreciated by the one person i think should be pleased for me.
Oh and if its relevant the new job now means i earn significantly more than him.
