I have recently had a baby (our second child).
Two of my friends had babies at a similar time and I've naturally come to spend more and more time with these ladies and on occasions, there partners if I've visited their houses.
It's become apparent how much their husbands value them and what they do for the families and I've found myself comparing my relationship. I have ALWAYS felt a bit under appreciated and taken for granted but it feels magnified.
The other day my friends partner randomly bought her some new earrings and a gift from their baby daughter just so she to make her smile. He also raved at me about how fantastic she is and how loved she is.
The other friends partner was explaining how desperately he misses he family when he's at work and how he wants to spend all weekend trying to give his wife a break.
My husband is just nothing like this. He would never randomly get me a gift or tell me how great I am or how appreciated I am.
Is he just a different type of person? Am I being a princess? It's just all made me feel a bit rubbish if I'm honest.
I don't want to be showered with gifts but something small or even a gesture like making me breakfast in bed and taking the kids would make me feel loved
