GG, you are absolutely not too needy. Could it be that others see you as extremely capable and have kind of gotten used to having you take care of them? I'm noticing that a lot in my life. Everyone has gotten so used to my caretaking that I face - well, resistance - when I seek a little in return. Sometimes I think they don't even know how to give it and I wonder if I had any part in that.
I think you're completely justified in wondering, "who's taking care of me?" We all need that sometimes. Isn't that what the whole interdependency thing is about?
And I'm so sorry you ended up having to discuss your husband's crap when you tried to tell him how you were feeling. Mine does it too and it sucks and it really hurts.
