OK, selecting an agony aunt from the 'Guardian' may not be very wise....
The dilemma I am a 53-year-old husband, happily married for 10 years. Everything is as good as it could be, but I sometimes feel like a neglected housewife living in the 1950s, while the “husband” (my wife) is ignoring the real me – and that real me is a writer.
Whew! Thank goodness, I was rather expecting 'the real me' to turn out to be something else entirely...
About a year ago, I spoke to her about needing her support as it’s a lonely pursuit, and she listened. But nothing changed. I then realised she was not interested in me as a writer, so my question is not how do I force her to be interested but what do I need to do for it not to hurt any more? What do I need to do for it not to feel personal?
You need to man up.
I think he is a poof and the wife knows it and despises his soy-ness.
ReplyDeleteWriting in to the 'Guardian' cements that!
DeleteMaybe he's a crap writer?
ReplyDeleteA distinct possibility!
DeleteMy wife glazes over when I talk about prog rock, whatever can I do to save my marriage?
ReplyDeleteGet headphones?
DeleteHe needs to get a Playstation. My wife will come in when I'm hogging the telly and just pick up her knitting, but within five minutes shes: "No, you missed something. Go back, no left, yes it's behind there. Load your gun. You need some health..."
