There are currently 4 men in my life, according to seniority, my father, my brother, my husband and my son. And believe it or not, I'm quite convinced that it is my son who empathises with me the most and he's only 9! The rest are Philistines, emotionally speaking.
As I've said so in my earlier postings, this pregnancy is really taking a toll on me , physically and emotionally. Being nauseous and bloated the whole day is not my idea of having a good time but the men in my life can't seem to grasp that. Mostly they ignore me, or act indifferent which is fine sometimes but it really frustrates me when they think I should just get up and everything will be right as rain!
All these frustrations is draining my emotional tank and red flags are popping all over like crazy. This is the time when I know that I need to draw close to God. When I'm feeling neglected and insecure, and having a pity party all by myself, I know the only way to get out of this pit is to spend more time with God.
I confess I've neglected this very important area of my life, ever since my nausea set in. And at the rate I'm going, I'd better remedy the situation quick. God has promised never to leave us and forsake us and He also said that He is the same yesterday, today and forevermore, which means that what He has promised, He will fulfill. He has promised to be with me. Period.

Expect something from men (without telling them) is more likely to be disappointed...keeping frustration to yourself will drive you crazy...
ReplyDeleteIf i'm in your shoe, i'll find a good timing and tactfully pour out my feelings and frustrations to hubby...and tell him exactly what is expected from him to do.
Draw strength from God and keep your faith high. Take care.
