how do i make my husband appreciate me more.?

Answer 1

first of all you can't make him appreciate you more. second he may not be able to tell you how much he appreciates you, some guys are like that.talk to him about how you feel and he might realize that he has been taking you for granted and rectify the situation.

Answer 2

I recently broke my arm, and my husband had to do all the dishes, he was suddenly a lot more grateful to me for doing so much of the dishes in the past. I'm not saying you should go, and break your arm, but maybe, take a week off to go visit some family. Let him see what life is like when you're out of the picture.

But mostly, I think the best thing you can do is set an example of gratitude. Tell him when your thankful for the little things he does, and let him see you being grateful to others in your life.

Also, with your husband, it's okay to say "I need a compliment" and "It would be a lot easier doing _____ if I could hear you say thank you a little more often." Sometimes guys just don't get it unless they're told directly.

good luck!

Answer 3

First of all, you can put yourself first. If you do all the housework, only do your laundry. Instead of picking up his dirty clothes, kick them under the bed. make yourself dinner before he gets home, and let him take care of his own. Buy only the groceries you need. Go to the gym and hang out with your friends. Be less available to him. If he asks what's wrong, tell him that you don't feel appreciated so you are on strike. Let the house get really dirty and give him the chance to step up and take care of some things. Guys start to feel like you do when they are around wonderwomen all the time...women who are independent, take care of everything, and don't really need them for anything......
He might feel like you do. Modify your behavior first. If that is a problem, just tell him (spell it out) that you don't feel appreciated, and tell him what (specifically) kinds of things it would take to make you feel more appreciated. Don't complain about his behavior, he will only feel criticized......stay positive and tell him what you need from him. Tell him what he does right, things that you want more of, things that you miss.....
Go girl!

Answer 4

you can't make him do anything...that's the problem...most people want to change the other person...not gonna happen...all you can do is let him know how you feel...how he makes you feel...and leave it at that...you'll ware yourself out trying to make him change...talk to a friend or seek therapy...chances are your husband will never appreciate you more...men aren't as open and emotional like women are...understand that...chances are your husband won't appreciate you more until its gone or you no longer do for him what you usually do...good luck!!

I was the only one at home so I expected to do most things but not all. well to make a long story short I quit. They came home from work the house wasn't clean, dishes wasn't done and no dinner. it only took once LOL.

Answer 6

You can't MAKE anyone appreciate you. Either he does or he doesn't. Now the question is can you live with the way he treats you?

Answer 7

I believe he does appreciate you! some men just don't understand women enough to know we like to be told how they feel about us. He proably isn't even awear that he is making you feel that way.
good luck to you

Answer 8

Stop doing all the things you do for him now. When you stop doing those things, he will see all that you really do for him. Only then will he stop taking you for granted and appreciate you more.

Answer 9

Tell him how you feel and if that dosent work give him a whack over the head lol and knock some sense into him.

Answer 10

Withhold certain aspects to show how much work you do for him and the house (not necessarily sex, it didn't really work fo Lysistrata)
