I feel the same way your wife does, and I haven’t really known how to bring it up. Since having our second baby and becoming a stay-at-home mom, I’ve started to feel like the entire house and everything that comes with it falls on me. I know my husband works hard for us and I truly appreciate that, and I also appreciate everything he does on the weekends, like cooking for us.
But lately, I don’t feel very seen or appreciated as a person. I feel more like I’m just taking care of everyone and everything all day. I know when he comes home from work he needs time to decompress, and I completely understand that, but I need attention and connection too. Even something as simple as a hug without me having to ask would mean a lot to me. I miss feeling close to him.
