A woman can feel overwhelmed when her husband has needs that she knows could be met by another person.
This includes emotional needs, social needs, and the needs of a child.
For instance, she might feel bad when her husband says that he needs help on a project at work.
When other men are out of town during the holidays, she might feel bad when her husband feels lonely and wants more from his family.
If you ever feel like your marriage is being drained by the needs of other people, you’re definitely not alone.
If you find that you or your partner are putting the needs of a parent, or even a friend or relative, above the needs of other people in a relationship, the feelings you have aren’t irrational or unique.
It is not irrational to find yourself feeling drained by the needs of others.
That’s why they are attracted to other men.
