It sounds like you are building up anger and resentment. I'm reading a book called "The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships." Harriet Lerner Ph.D. Good stuff. I would feel the way you do. It's scary to start sticking up for yourself but you know if you don't do it you can't count on him to do it. Either he will adjust to you being more assertive for yourself or you will learn that his heart is not in the relationship, in which case you can decide to have a new environment where you don't have to be lowest priority in your own life.
