…But is it Fair to Me?
I cook, I clean, I wash clothes, I get the kids ready, I run them to their activities, I do the budget, I plan the vacations, I take out the trash, I nap here and there, I set career goals, I crush my career goals, I make plans to see the family members, I dream about the places I want to visit, I wish for the life I want to have.
I wonder… Am I happy? Am I sad? Am I confused? Am I forcing it? Am I fulfilled? Is this at all fair to me?
I mean I know what my duties are as a wife and as a mother, but is this what it is supposed to look like?
I’m running and he is sleeping!
I’m tired and I somehow have to find a way to give him what he needs!
…. Is this fair to me?
Do I communicate how I feel?
…Yes!
…NO!
…Yes!
The words will only be twisted and turned.
Will I be made to look like a bad person?
Are my feelings even valid? Do they make sense?
Am I going through this alone?
How do other women feel?
MY GOD I JUST WANNA KNOW IF THIS IS NORMAL!
…. Is this fair to me?
Ohhh you see that was the old me!
The old me that no longer exists!
…. Was that fair to me?
HELL NO it wasn’t fair to me!
It wasn’t fair to me to hold my feelings inside to please my spouse!
To pretend everything was ok and it was not!
To not communicate my needs and what I needed to be fulfilled.
Ask yourself…
What do I need out of this relationship in order to be fulfilled?
Write them out!
Think them through!
And then….
Communicate with your partner!! You deserve to live a life you are happy to be a part of.
No more going through the motions!
We are so much more!
