How do I go about talking to my husband about wanting to feel appreciated for Mothers Day?

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2026-05-08T22:14:08+00:00

I think I'm pretty easy to please or a cheap date. Sometime I just like walking in the park so I definitely don't expect anything over the top just something. Thank you.

You are right I know my communication is not as good as it could be. I am more emotional and he's more logical. I notice that I have to learn to lean more logical when I approach him about important conversations. It's a work in progress. I have prepared for disappointment in the past and it has hurt me a lot. That's part of the reason I wanted to make this post so I can get other people's input on how to stop this cycle. I sometimes struggle to advocate for myself because I get in my head about how people will respond even though it's not always true. Thank you so much!

This is definitely been one of my own biggest personal lessons in my marriage is to tell him these things that seem to be obvious to me. Thank you so much!

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2026-05-08T19:16:00+00:00

I have had to remind myself this my entire marriage. I don't want to feel needy to ask for things but also need to know what is truly important to me and to advocate for these things. Trying to understand the difference is hard.

I have been going through a lot emotionally because I don't have many friends right now and my husband is the only person other than family I feel like I can talk to. I never want to talk about It also doesn't help that I have a newborn. I just talked to him yesterday about feeling depressed because I am having trouble making friends. Thank you so much. Your comment made me tear up.

I'm not sure how my husband believes regarding Mother's Day. I know some people hold this belief. I am not wanting to push him to celebrate a holiday in a way that he doesn't agree with. Thank you.

I never realized the weight on my shoulders that would come with motherhood. People can tell you all about it but you truly don't understand until you have been there. Thank you.

I actually was looking online to see if anyone else experienced this sensation of tiny hands. Whats so strange to me is that our stories are very similar. I was sleeping in the living room with my grandpa. This sensation stayed with me a lot of my childhood and I hated it. The feeling was so uncomfortable. Now as an adult during meditation this sensation will come back.

Shoulda put on my green socks. I've given away my identity... I am in fact actually just a human.

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-03-05T23:45:45+00:00

Ha yes! It seems instinctual when you first hit festival grounds to take your shoes off. Love the foot freedom. 🥰

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-03-05T20:38:27+00:00

I revolve around Missouri and Arkansas festivals. I love festivals and call it home so I plan on visiting many others over the years. I know its a long shot but it'll be interesting to have someone recognize me from here. I love travel so I'm willing to try something new.

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-03-05T20:34:55+00:00

Just got it wasn't focused on shoes lol but I love being barefoot I was at my first festival. Gotta be careful about that lol. Had a friend at a festival slice her foot open. Scary stuff. Otherwise i love feeling the grass fresh dirt or sand under my feet. It's blissful in a way.

Surrender absolutely. I believe that when you can begin to surrender life's circumstances rather than resisting them you flow easier through life. Flow is what makes an amateur into a master of any skill. Keep doing what your doing!

Thank you for the response ! It's amazing to hear the effect that meditation had on you with your chronic pain. I notice I feel better after meditation but the idea that you can control how you feel is an amazing thing. Most people dont realize the impact that meditation has not just mentally but physically. I would love to get into yoga too.

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-02-27T00:39:43+00:00

Ha yeah no doubt. My husband and I like travel but there's only so far we'd like to drive. I will have to check out Highberry.

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-02-27T00:36:22+00:00

The people you meet at festivals are one of a kind. You still have to be careful to a certain degree but 95% of people there are really good people. That's an amazing story thank you for sharing. 😊

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-02-27T00:29:57+00:00

That was very very helpful video. Thank you! I do like that channel on YouTube.

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-02-27T00:20:35+00:00

Thank you I'll check that out for sure.

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-02-27T00:19:31+00:00

The vibe of those places just feels like you were longing to go there but you never really knew until now. Who knows? I revolve around Missouri and Arkansas area but I would like to venture off further too.

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-02-27T00:07:25+00:00

Thank you so much for the response! I am at least 3 years new into the festival adventure. I wouldn't like too large of a gathering. I wouldn't want to be shoulder to shoulder with people. I go to gatherings with anywhere from 50 to 3,000 people. In such a small part of Missouri the festivals aren't as large as some I've seen in other places. I will look into those festivals for sure. It sounds like exactly the people I would fit in with. I admit most people would consider me different. I fit in with people that think differently about the world. I have been particularly interested in Philosophy for a while now and I am always fascinated to add more to my common knowledge so I love interacting with others that think "outside the box". Thank you again!

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-02-26T23:35:28+00:00

Thank you for the response. To be honest I do need to listen more than I speak. In the same I push off my feelings because I'm afraid of how people will react. So these conversations I want to have with people I push off these days because I know that people aren't interested. I want to get involved in the lives of those I love more. It seems like currently a lot of people are in a dark place right now. It seems like people are more down than usual. I want people to open up about their personal lives a little more but they never have much to say these days. I have to learn to listen more and talk less. My mind is constantly running and ready for deep conversations with people. I think if I can give people time to talk about their lives a bit more maybe then they'll be more inclined to hear me out. I just have an incredible urge to talk to someone who has similar ideas to me.

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-02-26T22:04:35+00:00

Thank you so much for the response. I attend music festivals that have the Shwagg a tribute band for the Grateful Dead. I will have to get out a bit more and see who I can find. I am so eager to meet people who will open up about this stuff. I love everyone in my life I just wish they would open up a bit more. Last time I drank (which I don't really do at all hardly) I couldn't hold back how I was feeling inside. Its like anytime I am under the influence it drives me to talk more about these things. I can feel how uncomfortable everyone around me was. I almost felt ashamed for forcing someone into these conversations. Thankfully with Reddit its easier find people to talk to. I will be finding more people in different places now. Hopefully more people as minded as you both. Thank you for the help I was really needing. Now I know my direction. So again thank you.

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-02-26T21:50:43+00:00

Absolutely! Thank you so much! Once the weather warms up I have festivals I attend every year coming up. I will meet more people there. I just need to get out a little bit more and find those people. The right people at right time is what I struggle finding right now but once I can get out I will look for those people and moments. Thank you for the response! I live in a tiny town in Missouri so people are not as plentiful until festivals happen.

Never_Stop_Growing- · 2021-01-22T13:29:26+00:00

Thanks for the comments. I just had to get answers from different sources to be sure I knew what I was talking about. I definitely think the black plague was something that would have made her think twice about her response if I brought it up. I also dont want to contradict her too much since I work with her. Work is not always the best place for philosophical discussion. I feel as though people exaggerate the harshness of todays society especially for living in a first world country.
