everything is difficult and compicated, from our sex life to our families nothing seems to just come natuarally, there is no just doing it because its important to me he will fight me on everything and with our daughter now i cant help but feel it is the only thing causing us to make it work cos there is very little between us.
We dont agree on disipline for our daughter, family interferance(they are italian and i spent the most part of our relationship being critisised by his over controlling mom) yet i took that in my stride and even lived with her when i became a mom for the first time because he did not want her to be alone and he was living there since his father passed away, so after all the critism and attacks from his 3 sisters and mom i moved in with him and his mom and tackled being a young new mom under her watchful critical eye.
It caused alot of tention with us 2 but for the most part i sucked it up and new one day we would start our lives together, and we did eventually move out when she was 6 months old but because things had got so bad between his family and myself. i forgave them and welcomed them into my home and life and things were better then ever between us all, i created my own relationships with them something he does not care to do with my family! I would invite his mom for breakfast, have her over for dinner and just had a normal daughter in law relationship with her, it was much easier when i wasnt under her roof, he cant even be left alone with my family and he freaks out about that he gives me strict instructions to not leave him alone if i actually ever do get him to attend anything on my family's side!
He is impossible and shows no commitment to me or willingness to try, he always sais he's not that type to go out of his way for anyone!
I have to say, i am older now and dissapointed that i settled for someone who really isnt sure if he wants to be with me, but as long as there is food on the table and his kids are looked after its convienient and he will go along with it it....but me (THE ACTUAL ME) is not someone he gives much thought or attention to.
I hope that he changes, or i hope that something does cos i am not finished with love and care and romance and feeling loved...i know what it feels like and i know im to young to give it all up for a man who might wake up one day....or might not!
Someone once said, just because you have not found someone to love you on your level...does not mean you need to stoop down to theirs!
just cos we have kids together does not mean we were meant to be together, i will try until i cant i will suck it up but that little piece of me that wants to know what it feels like to be with someone who feels the same for you as you do for them!
