Have you ever thought you were a part of something? Contributed years of your life? Made excuses, accepted less, made do, worked harder to compensate, because you believed you were part of something bigger? Did you feel like you were a partner? Like your contribution did make things "possible" in some way?
I'm not credit hungry. I'm not a spotlight kind of girl. But when black and white is right in front of me and my role, my contribution is spelled out as "wife, Cass" it's kind of difficult to swallow every sacrifice I've personally made in the word "wife" because I am more then "wife, Cass" and all of a sudden I feel like I've wasted time.

Sorry you're feeling so down. :(
Let me know if you need anything.
Ok, I've tried 3 times to comment. Finally a free second. I'm sorry that you're having a rough morning. I hope that things get better.
(I just noticed this, and I doubt today is the right day to say something, but you spelled "Frasier" wrong in your comment prompt.)
I feel this way too, like my contributions are overlooked because I'm not the one with my daughter 24/7 (my wife is a SAHM). It can be difficult at times.
If you figure out a way to make the feeling go away, let me know.
Hang in there!
You're not alone... makes me feel like I missed the disclaimer in fine print. On the bright side, you'll soon have this amazing person that will bring a whole new definition to who you are....and I got to tell ya, it's the best one you'll ever have. The reward of appreciation will be seen in every smile, felt in every hug and heard in every laugh. (I can sound optomistic because she hasn't hit the teen years yet!)And feel free to wallow in the misery of resentment now and then..... it gives us much needed perspective. Just don't get stuck there :)
