Beloved of All
Prayers for my marriage please. We've been married 16 years, why do we still have such a sad marriage after all this time and all of my prayers??? Today, I told my husband I needed to talk to him about something serious (related to a family.member).... He gave me less than 3 minutes, and I said "that's it? Can we talk about it some more?" His answer: "It's the weekend, and my time is limited. I only get so much time to play my videogames." (Mind you, he plays day in and day out). I told him I really would appreciate if he'd spend some time with me. He said he doesn't have time for that. It really really hurt me. He literally placed me nowhere on his list of priorities. When I expressed my feelings and how that hurt, he literally laughed at me & told me I take too long to say what I want to say. (I hadn't even spoken for 2 minutes at that point). When I was finished, he laughed some more at me and mocked me. He knew it hurt & prodded more. I am so hurt, yall. I dress up everyday (even on weekends) to look good for him. I cook for him.... He tells me to jump, I jump. I'm immensely hurt by his disregard for me. Several women have seen the way he is over the years & see me defend him and still tell me that he doesn't know how good he has it. They say they would never put up with him. Why doesn't he cherish me? I have Jesus Christ & that's the only reason I hold on. My husband is a product of divorce & I have seen the damage that has caused, so I would never ever want to do that to my children.
