I have made a little observation here in the blogosphere. I could be wrong, but why does it seem like the the blogs of married bloggers never get read by their spouses? Sure, you share pretty much every second together but there is always something going on in the mind of your spouse. I am sure there are some spouses out there that do care to read what is going on in their other halves mind...but then there are those of us that can say whatever we want about our husbands/wives and they would never even know. I guess this could be used to our advantage...however it doesn't stop the sting you feel when you realize they just don't care enough to take two seconds and read your blog.
I know, blog reading is not the most exciting and I can't ever see myself in an argument using the phrase "you don't even read my blog" because that sounds ridiculous but I won't lie, it would be nice if he at least acted remotely interested in my half of his life and took a few minutes to see what was on my mind that day.
Most of the time my blogs are hardly interesting so I don't blame him, but then there are days where I think it would be nice if he read this blog, or I wonder what he thought of my last blog. I mean, it is mostly for his benefit to read my blog because then maybe he would realize that his deodorant is under the bed, that there is more going on in his wife's head, or that I am virtually kicking him in the balls right now.
Your probably wondering "well why don't you just ask him to read your blog?" Well, I have...and he may have a few times, but asking him to read my blog everyday is like asking people to follow you just so you can have a higher number of followers whether they are interested in your blog or not. I will not be a follower whore.
I realize this blog is a bit harsh, but I feel like being harsh today. I don't know why, I just do. I think this is step one of gaining confidence. Speak your mind, be yourself right? Easy to say behind a computer screen but hey, it's a step.
Happy Sunday
Marriage is compromise on both sides. It will always hurt a marriage when only one side is is doing the compromise. Don't always feel the victim...use your "woman's" brain to get what you're looking for. That's why God didn't make our brains equal. (Did I say that?) Heehee. Ah...that was a dumb thing to write. Eh.
ReplyDeleteI find your blogs interesting, you write well and always have something to make me laugh. Confidence is a good thing to gain, keep writing!
ReplyDeleteI don't think my husband reads my blog very much either, although he probably doesn't have to because I usually tell him about my latest blog post whether he wants to hear it or not! Maybe the spouses feel like it's a little unnecessary--like they already know what their wives are accomplishing/working on/worried about/celebrating, etc? Let's say that's the case! ;)
