In a heartfelt letter to Dear Abby, a husband from Pennsylvania expresses his feelings of neglect regarding his musical passion. He has been married to his wife for 31 years, and they share a close relationship, working from home together. Despite their strong bond, the husband, who is an avid musician, feels hurt that his wife has never shown interest in his music. He has written numerous songs, including several dedicated to her, but she has never asked him to play any of them. This lack of engagement has left him questioning whether he is asking too much from her or if he should stop writing songs altogether. He acknowledges that his wife is not very musical, and while he respects her preferences, he longs for some recognition of his efforts. The husband has tried to hint at his desire for her to ask him to play, but his attempts have not led to any change in her behavior. He finds joy in writing music as a form of self-expression and does not want to give it up, even if it feels unreciprocated. Additionally, he shares another concern about his social life, where friends often invite him to events at the last minute, leading to frustration on both sides. He has communicated his need for advance notice but continues to face challenges in balancing his commitments with social expectations. Ultimately, he seeks advice on how to navigate these feelings of unappreciation and the social pressures he faces.
