@keshaspeaks: There’s a kind of heartbreak that doesn’t announce itself loudly. It shows up when you realize somebody may have depended on you deeply without actually being curious about you. And that distinction can rearrange years in your mind. Because being needed can feel like love for a long time... until you realize he might have valued what you DID for him more than WHO YOU WERE to him. 😏 #KeshaSpeaks #RelationshipPatterns #EmotionalLabor #SelfReturn #MarriageReflection

Same. I never heard mine speak to anyone the way he spoke to me. So I know he was capable of being kind to people he wanted to be kind to. I wasn’t one of them.

same here. My husband liked the me that served him. I felt like the mother he wanted as a child and didn't have.

This is how we end up with obituaries saying what they provided for everyone else, not who they were.

I don’t think mine really liked me either. I think the bigger issue id that he didn’t really like himself. My presence reflected what he lacked.

Also, chances are that the good times were manufactured by you. Holidays, date nights, quiet coffee moments, the car conversations etc... 🤯

My ex liked how I made him feel, how I made him look, how people responded to us as a couple. But I don't think he ever liked ME. I grieved the potential future he promised and mourned the sense of self I gave up on service to that.

My therapist once said "Being needed makes you replaceable not lovable."

Well said! Also, I realized I didn’t like him much either. I grieved the future I/we planned. I didn’t love the present but I truly believe the future goals were possible. I was working hard towards them.. and them dying with the marriage was hard.

Thank you for this today. As I grieve the end of a 23 year relationship and look at all the different interactions and behaviors to realize, he never really liked me. He just liked what I provided and how I made him feel and look to others.

I was with my ex for 10 years. 8 months after divorce we saw each other and his first words were "I forgot how annoying your voice is."

I saw this quote recently and it resonated with me so much: “some people love the stability you provide, not the person you are. They don't want a partner. They want the scaffolding that holds them up.”

I had met a young man who went to school with my kid, and he kinda became one of my kids too. One night, he was at my house and I was very overstimulated. My husband was coming at me with questions and I kept saying that I needed a minute because I was overstimulated, but he didn't stop until a snapped at him. The young man in question asked me if I was overstimulated, and I said that I was. He took my kids upstairs, told them to give me some space, then came downstairs and helped me. I was trying to clean my kitchen and listen to music, but my music wouldn't play for me and that was the final straw. He got my music to play for me and helped me clean up. My husband and I talked about that night, and he asked me why I yelled at him, but not the kid. I explained how the kid saw that I was struggling, and came to help me, while he ignored me saying that I needed a moment because I was overstimulated. I told him had he just done that, I would've been fine. He looked at me and said that he would never look at me as deeply as that young man did. Said young man was 17. That started the process of reflection for me. I had just met this kid a few months prior...and he saw me. My husband did not, and not only did he not see me, he didn't want to.

Oh Keisha, I was telling him this for 2+ years and he denied it. But the things he’d pick apart about others reflected me often, even specific things about me (just little characteristics). That man did not like ME.

I asked mine once why he loved me after 14 years of marriage and he listed out all the things I did to make his life better. But not one thing about me as a person. And that was confirmation of what I already knew.

Sis you are truly gifted in naming these experiences. THIS is exactly my situation. I am gutted. I’m am ashamed that I am here in this space. I didn’t value or love myself enough to demand to be valued. ….I was the communicator for years trying to improve “our” situation. Leaving room For his personality. But my personality was TOLERATED!! Wondering why he was so disappointed or dismissive or felt justified in his frustration and selfishness. And it’s because he thinks he is already tolerating me how dare I want more!!!! I haven’t spoken to him socially in 2 mos. All business. Living in the same house. Dammit this is tough to admit. Almost 30years of ……. Nothing real. 💔

"I no longer have to audition for somebody who only valued me for what I could do for them" is a sentence I am going to carry with me for all my relationships, not just romantic. I'm so sorry you had this experience but I'm also grateful for the wisdom you shared with the world today. thank you.

I had that realization this week too. but it can also go the other way too... did I like him, or did I just like who I thought he was

My husband has bragged about how well I make fried rice and proceeded to volunteer my cooking for a family event. I agreed at first but then said no because cooking at cleaning for 30 plus people is not what I want to do. I also noticed him saying that we work well together and without me he wouldn’t be able to do anything in business or in life because I can take ideas and make them come alive. I started thinking that he’s using my talents to level up.
