You know that old saying "to take one step forward and two steps back"? It seems like I do that all the time. I give and give and give of myself and I feel like I am never given the gratitude I receive. I'm not conceited, that's for sure, but I bust my ass to make him happy and I guarantee that I treat him better than anyone ever has, and I get nothing.

I know he loves me, he says he does, at least. What would it hurt him to show it once in a while? I don't want him to act like a woman, and get all emotional and shit, but I have to wonder sometimes what the hell is wrong with me. Am I incapable of being loved as much as I love someone?
