How does your dh/dp react when you achieve something big?What do they say or do? How much do they talk about it? I've recently become aware that dh has little reaction to my success. When I look back I can see it with many past situations. I am not bigheaded and don't look for reassurance or praise. It wasn't until I a script was accepted for a major theatre play recently , and friends were astonished, jumping in joy, screaming hurrah. That it made me think dh's "thats great" said in a low monotone voice was, well, I don't know...I guess I expected his reaction to be bigger than that of our friends. Also that he hasn't even asked what the play is about, but someone I work with in another job offered to proof read it for typos, dh didn't. In the past when I've occasionally questioned this he has always said he's stressed or tired. I sound like I am seeking admiration, but really I'm not, I have not had an easy life, I grew up in poverty, and just would be nice to get some validation from dh. Strangely, though he has said nothing about the play to me, I know he has talked about it endlessly at work, which I find odd, he's mainly been telling people that his wife is so talented she is doing...but has never said it to me.
What do you make of this?
