Being a wife

It's a challenge when it feels as if there is always something that takes precedence over me and over our relationship. It's a challenge to keep my neediness in check. It's a challenge accepting that, though in mind I am the top priority (and I truly believe in his mind I am), in action and daily life I fall behind. It's a challenge knowing there will rarely (never say never) be times when he says, 'let's skip work today and spend the whole day making love...' or 'let's run off for the weekend, leave the world behind for a few days'...It's a challenge not to sound like I'm having a pity party, and not to feel like it either (I'm not). It's a challenge being a wife.
