Comment by Jenny Chopra on November 21, 2009 at 10:56pm: We had dinner last night & my hubby admitted that he does things without thinking & that he's going to try to work on it. He wants me to be happy & he's willing to do whatever he needs to make that happen. I was very happy & appreciated his openness.

Comment by Joanna on November 20, 2009 at 11:03am: Hi Jenny, I understand totally. My husband is also a very busy man who spents more than ten hours in the office everyday (sometimes 7 days in a week). I sometimes feel lonely and forgotten too... What I did was to let him know that I feel this way and we worked out something. For example, we will plan trips together and we try to have dinner together everyday. I do feel that men are poor in observation and doesn't really see as much as we do. We really have to talk about our feelings openly and honestly. Men also don't say as much about what and why they do things. I think the thing that made it work so far is open and honest communication. By talking about these things, you not only let him know what you are feeling, but you get to understand him more and why he does the things he does. Let me know how things go.. Marriage is a long journey. It is not easy but definitely very worth it.

Comment by Jenny Chopra on November 20, 2009 at 1:28am: Where do I start...there's a long list. But the most recent is the puppy incident. My husband just bought a puppy...and the baby is not even out of my womb. He thinks it's going to be easy taking care of a baby. This frustrates me, because my husband works so much that he doesn't have time for me, and now we have a baby and a puppy to take care of. Does he think that he has all the time in the world? He just doesn't think before he acts. What's really upsetting me is that...I know I will be the only one taking care of the baby and it should be the both of us.

Comment by Joanna on November 19, 2009 at 10:44am: Hi Jenny, welcome to our community and thanks for sharing. Feel free to share some specifics as to what has not been working for you and your husband. I have been married for three years now so maybe I have gone through some similar experiences...
One thing is that a baby on the way may add some stress to the relationship too...

Comment by Jenny Chopra on November 19, 2009 at 1:51am: Hi, my name is Jenny. Only married for 7 months with a baby on the way. It has been a rollercoaster for me. I haven't been able to enjoy being married to my husband.

Comment by Joanna on September 20, 2009 at 2:31am: Hi all,
I have been married for 3 years. My husband and I are both in the IT industry and we met in university. In fact, we went to the same class together but strangely, we never really got to know each other until the last semester. I am not sure if 3 years is short or long but I think marriage thus far has been challenging but very rewarding. I love my husband very much and through marriage, I am learning how to love another person in a selfless way. I am continuing to learn everyday. Glad to see this group and hope to learn from you all.
