Family Issues Support Group
Family issues is a huge range that go from minor conflict to major misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur. Whether you feel you are in a dysfunctional family or you're dealing with a very specific issue, this is the place to talk about it and find others who might be going through the same thing.
I'm tired of trying to be a good wife! My husband would rather sit around and be mopey and grouchy. He would rather look at pictures of younger pretty ladies then be intimate with me. I tried to lose weight and look good. I went to a gym for a year and changed my eating habits. The weight just wouldn't go.
I'm tired of bending over backwards for him if he's going to be a jackass! I'm going to do what I want even if I end up looking like Jabba the Hutt with hair!

That's the thing..you need to what you want that brings you joy! You can't go through life trying to please others while neglacting yourself. Start today!!! Look good for yourself not for him, the hell with him! Do it for you and then you will see that soon he will find what he is missing by moping and sitting around doing nothing!! Go out girl and get your life, find your joy..be happy! Don't rely on someone else to do that for you.

No matter what you do, you have to do it for you! If you don't, you're wasting your time. I've lived the better portion of my life for other people. I am nearing the flip side of life (I will be 40 next September) and yesterday while writing in my journal here I finally laid myself bare for the world to see..not to gain sympathy but because I was finally making a decision to say ENOUGH! Not every man out there is like this but I have heard some men say about their women, "Well, she just isn't the same woman I married." To which you want to say, "No, neither are you!" Sorry, but try working outside the home, managing the home, the bills, the cleaning, and then adding a couple of kids or more and let's see what it does to them! Honey, if no one but you sees you there's no reason you shouldn't want to look and feel good about yourself! Don't stop there! FInd a hobby..whether it's a new one or one you used to have but just put on the back burner for a while! Brighteyes is right...you can't neglect yourself and sooner or later he will see what he has missed out on . Good luck to you, honey~
