Default Re: Is Marriage supposed to be like this??

Thanks for your post GAsoccerman. I am in my mid-20's There is a 9 year difference in our ages. I know we are both in a rut. I hate my job, and he's getting unhappy with his job. We did have a heart to heart talk last night and decided to schedule a "date night" just like you mentioned on your post. We decided to take turns planning the "date" every week. I have always tried to be understanding when he needs to wind down after he comes home from 4 days away working.....but I need my husband after not having him for 4 days. I know it's a give and take thing, I have just felt i've been giving and not getting much back (emotionally).
I don't think my taste in design is bad, I had a nice decorated apartment for 6 years before I ever moved in with him. He's told me I can do whatever I want with the house, but I just don't feel the "liberty" to do things. I am willing to accept that it might just be ME having issues, but I'm not sure how to get past it though. I have really low self esteem and self confidence.....not because of HIM by anymeans....I lost it all before I met him (went through some rough life changing times)
Thanks again for the advice and reply- gotta get back to work!
