Husbands

[belleg1]

Ladies, tell me true, do you take such good care of your men that you get really tired of being taken for granted? If we weren't married we'd consider it being used?

I am one that my wife love a lot she has me help her do the thing she can't do for her self because of her health is not that good so I get to help her a lot and she showes that she love me a lot by playing house with me some of the time.

[AmyTrivitt]

No. I married the one I love. I want to make sure that I am the one who is taking care of my husband. Its all give and take. My husband makes sure I have everything I need, want, and for our children. Everything that my husband has done, he deserves it. I would never feel like he was taking me for granted.

Ugh no I messed up and married a man I love who also does this extremely cute sad face that I just can't say no too. DAMN THAT CUTE MAN DAMN HIM TO MY BED!

Just kidding, sometimes it gets frustrating to always be taking care of him. But I'll do it till the day I die. I Edward!

There is no way I would allow myself to be used. I have seen what my mother has gone through. living in her isolated world.

No, I would say that its all about give and take.  I married my husband for love and the fact that he is my soul mate.  He does just as much for me as I do for him.  I don't think I have ever felt that way.  He has had some pretty serious health problems that he almost died from but he is doing better now.  Still have a road ahead of us but we will get there.  IF you feel this way talk to the person tell them.  Work out the problem so it doesn't get out of hand.

no not really, he shows that appreciates what I do for him.

[belleg1]

I am so happy for all of you. Just make sure he keeps up the good stuff because you're worth it!

Sometimes I feel like I do take care of him all the time -- but really I think I'm better at it so it's my job.  it's kinda part of what I bring to the table.

A marriage is a partnership - you give and take.  There are things he is better at and things I am better at.
For instance -- I cook..... I do laundry (he helps fold and put away).  He takes care of my son when I need to do the housework so that I can do it without being "mommy" all the time.

I love my husband and wouldn't really change anything --- but occassionally I do complain.
