anyone recognizes me for me or my talents. What does a guy do in this situation?

Now I mean "Mr. (my wife's name)" on a figurative note, but I think you understand.

hopefully you are able to talk to your wife and tell her how you feel, if she knew it was bothering you, wouldn't she stop this? I would not do that to my husband if it bothered or embarassed him.
I think that you should just be honest and talk to her about how you are feeling underappreciated...I think that talking about stuff really helps in most situations...I am very sure that if you were open she would be willing to hear you out and give you what you need.

I think my husband has this problem sometimes. When we got married, he moved to where I live and grew up, so he doesn't know very many of the people around here, and I think most know him as "Honor's husband". Talking to your wife may help- she may know some of the people who have similar talents/interests to yours. This way, you can talk to these people, and they'll probably start remembering you for you, because they have had experiences with YOU. This is just my point of view, however. With our situation, my husband doesn't make a point to get to know people, he's a bit of a wallflower. He sticks close to me. He joins in the conversation and makes people laugh, but he doesn't often go off and mingle with people by himself, and have animated conversations. He sticks with small talk, unpersonal. I have seen other guys be like that. You may be completely different.

My wife is lovely. Can talk to anyone about anything... she is generous and open and exciting to be with. That's why I married her. I don't know what she sees in me, but I suppose she must appreciate something about me.
I often find myself hanging out, felling like a shag on a rock while she socialises... but then we drive home together and I get all her attention. I am beginning to appreciate that more as I age. She says I make her happy and always make her laugh. I smell pretty funky though.
What you do is appreciate her, dude and recognise that you get to take her home... you've some serious talent there that others recognise.
For my Beauty, my Love.

Is this just how you feel or has someone actually made reference to you being Mr.(wife's name)? If you just feel that way, talk to your wife. Any loving wife would not allow her husband to feel badly about himself.
If someone has made comments, write them off. Friends don't hurt each other.

I get a bit sick of hearing "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith."
Maybe this is a small stab at centuries of oppression.

I think my husband sometimes feels the same way. but it is all in his head. Everyone likes him just as much. I'm more out-going and talkative than he is...which may be why he views it the way he does.
Is your wife more outspoken than you?

Improve your talents and make publicity for you.
