Slightly irritated

[Skjones]

I posted earlier about some issues I was having and could have used an outside perspective no response but I got like 9 responses on a pic of my dog, I thought this was a place for support not facebook

This is a wonderful place for support Skjones, it's just that members don't always know what to say to help, sadly. Be patient, someone may reply still. This is Sunday and it just may be that there aren't as many members active right now. It is always easy to comment on a cute dog photo, especially like the pic of your little one, who is not ugly by the way, just cuteness all around.

Hi Skjones...actually, I did read your post and decided to respond after I got homefrom grocery shopping. Please don't lose Faith in this forum. I will tell you that the

weekends can sometimes be a little slower. With all that said, let me tell you that

if I didn't know better, I'd say you've got both the dog and your wife against you.

That's got to be difficult. I'm not kidding, it's got to feel as if no one is on your side.

But know that we are. Husband or Wife, we all need to feel appreciated for what

we bring into a relationship. Unfortunately, life isn't fair and love isn't always 2 sided.

I'm sure there are times that you feel like, "why do it, if I'm going to be criticized?".

But if you don't help out, she may make herself feel like a martyr.

So...what I would suggest is you and your wife finding some quiet time other

than house chores and working 2 jobs. Not that easy. Maybe from time to time

a little gift from you. Doesn't have to be expensive..Depending what chores you

do to help out, buy 3 roses at the grocery store and hand them to her with a hug

and thanks for all she does. Maybe her favorite candy bar placed on the dinner table.

Once in a while "order in" so she doesn't have to cook.

Hopefully, there will be a part of her that sees how a partnership works. You may even

get a "thank you" out of it one day. Working together will make you both stronger. Right

now the situation is chipping away at your marriage. After all, when you buy that home

you want to make it worth while in all you both sacrificed to get it.

Living happily ever after is the premise of our hard work.

My best to you xx

I haven’t seen the earlier one, what do you need? Tell us what’s wrong, I’m sure someone will reply.

I feel the same way. Sorry you were ignored when everyone was focused on FB like posts. People could check to make sure posts aren't being ignored before and after chatting but seems like a lot of times they don't..
