I don't want to be the woman my husband wants
We've been married for 9 years.
There was a big gap between the “wife I want to love” my husband wants and the “good wife” I think.
The “good wife” I had in mind is as follows.
・Do your best at housework, childcare, and work.
・I'm always smiling.
・Be sure to say hello.
・Speak softly without getting emotional even if you are dissatisfied.
・Don't be grumpy even if you don't feel well.
・Even if they are equal at home, they stand up for a husband in front of others.
・Maintain a feminine figure.
It took quite a bit of effort regardless of this, and I think it was almost perfect.
But the “wife I want to love” my husband was looking for was as follows.
・Housework, childcare, and work are decent.
・Express your emotions in a straightforward manner.
(Dissatisfaction is emotionally appealing. If you don't feel well, don't hesitate to get grumpy. (If I'm in a bad mood, I don't even say hello.)
・If you stand up in front of yourself, it doesn't matter if you disrespect yourself where you are.
・The inner world is important, so it doesn't matter what shape you have.
Quite the opposite. I noticed this about 2 years ago.
Until then, I had been treated very poorly by my husband, and I tried even harder to play a good wife to be loved somehow, but it was a complete waste of effort.
I was so miserable that I cried in the bath every day.
From a husband's point of view, a wife who always smiles is probably not worth loving.
That's because I'm smiling no matter how I behave.
An emotional wife won't laugh if she doesn't work hard, so it's probably worth loving.
I continued to be treated poorly for a long time, my love for my husband completely withered, and when I naturally began to take a cold attitude, my husband gradually took good care of me. (But at last, they're treated like humans. (Last year, I was only given 20,000 yen of child support that I hadn't been paid until now.)
It's easier now, and I can't be kind to my husband I don't love, so I can say this is fine, but the truth is, I want to be a married couple that cares for each other.
But I don't want that from my husband. Every day is empty.
It's probably an ideal wife for my husband, but I feel like my heart is rotting away.
I wonder if my husband somehow doesn't understand my feelings...
Or would it be easier if I changed my way of thinking?
