You act as if I don't exist Never even talking to me You go straight to your moms When you get off of work Never paying any attention to me When I ask you to do something You never even want to do it Saying you have to go do something else Now you ask me to do something for you Thinking that I should do whatever you ask I only exist when you want something from me Any other time I am like an old pair of shoes Tossed in the back of the closet Never even giving me another thought It's funny how you remember me When there is something you want from me You even refused to come and get me When my car was broke down Forty-five miles away from home I thought that a husband Was suppose to take care of his wife Atleast that is what I have seen other husbands do Not you though You just left me there on my own I knew there would come another time When there would be something you wanted from me Just what makes you think I should do for you now After all of the things you have said and done to me Women aren't there just to do for the man The man is suppose to be just as willing To do for the woman As he is for the woman to do for him By Sue 5-31-02 [This message has been edited by SmartChick (05-31-2002 08:42 PM).] |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sue, this is so very sad, sweet friend, it too hurts me deeply to see many men take advantage of women, for I may be young but I feel sad when I see that happen and dream of being there for my dream girl if I ever get the chance to have one! (sad sigh) My heart cries out to you, sweet friend, we are always here if you need someone to talk to, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I think this happens more often than we realize, Sue.... My first husband started to be like this when we first got married, and I just gave him a taste of his own medicine... Hope you can see your way through this. ~ liberated hugs Lyra |
