Don't know how to 'subject' this post

Posted by sal0805 on October 23, 2005, at 10:04:28

Husband and kids have just left to take the dogs for a run. I was not asked if I would like to come with. Probably because I was washing dishes. I seem to look cool behind the kitchen sink.

I don't see why I should ask if I could come with - why can't he just ask me?? I have never turned down invites in the past.

I am sad. I am sulking. I don't want either. I feel like a doormat. I don't want to take blame, but how much is my fault?

I feel so incredibly lonely and alone

Have you tried asking him why he doesnt invite you?
Maybe you dont appear to him to hava an interest in going?
Do you ever sugest doing things with him? How about trying next time to suggest a walk before he does, or suggest going for icecream as a family?
This may sound weird but maybe he is trying to give you space that he thinks you want, and in fact is instead hurting you.
Im sorry Sabrina

I agree Susan - I agree! I should not wait to be asked - but after all these years - an invitation might just be appreciated too!

It is nice to actually be 'asked' for a change. It kinda makes you feel..hmmm~wanted?. I think that's the word I'm looking for. I know how you feel but more than likely, the thought hasn't even crossed your hubby's mind. I would talk to him about how you feel at some point. He can't read your mind (even though they should be able to sometimes..lol). Maybe you take a walk when they get back to clear your head?

I know what you mean it's nice to have the company of those you care about. And they should have invited you too. Fondly, Phillipa
