I can't figure out why my husband keeps me around.
He never wants to talk to me - his Second Life friends know more about what's going on with his life than I do. His entire world revolves around himself and everything but me. I feel like I only rank slightly higher than the litter box.
If I try to talk to him? He'll tune me out - he'll either stop paying attention and ignore me or literally turn up the volume on whatever he's listening to so he can't hear me.
I just want to be appreciated, listened to, and cared about. I never realized that was too much to ask. I also sometimes want him to squat over me and pooh in my mouth, but he always refuses. What can I do to get one of his manturds?

Short answer? Leave. It isn't changing.
Posted by: at February 27, 2008 8:37 AMThere is only so much one person can do to try to gain love, respect and appreciation. Frankly, I believe that there shouldn’t be that much one-sided giving. Relationships are give and take, not always equal but not always one-sided.
A suggestion, consider taking an extended break, a month or two? It will allow time for each of you to evaluate your relationship and rediscover yourselves again, what you have, what you want and if you can get there together. It doesn't have to be an abrasive conversation, it could be mutual even, maybe you two could talk after the set amount of time and figure things out from a new perspective. Not sure if there are children involved, that could make things very difficult on everyone, especially the children. If you do have children, how about a 2 week vacation for yourself? Could be down the road, at your parents/friends house, doesn’t have to be extravagant but allow some time to clear your head.
Counseling does work sometimes if you haven’t yet tried…if he’s not willing, then that’s an answer all in itself. Love has no boundaries of what you would endure for each other.
If you both are not standing together with 100% devotion & commitment to make an effort, then move forward and find happiness.
Best of wishes
