He travels a lot and when he is here...well, he's not. I end up nagging - and he ends up treating me like he treats his mother when she complains about him not calling her.The answer is that I should just let things go (I do tend to hold on to things)...but the more I think about the sacrifices I made to be with him (I'm alone all the time!!!)..I feel entitlement issues and the nagging begins again..help...

 I understand how upsetting this must be for you. We all dream about what our marriage is going to be like but the truth is, it doesn't usually end up the way we thought it would when we were acting it out with our Barbie dolls all those years ago.
You have to tell him how you feel. (I find that's all I write when I'm answering questions on here!) But there's a lot to be said for good communication. In a marriage, it's so important, I can't even stress that enough so tell him you're lonely, tell him you don't just want him there physically, you want him there mentally too and tell him you're definitely not his mother!
I hope you can work this out, you've not been married for long and it's definitely too soon to be feeling lonely. Good luck and just remember, TALK about anything and everything. That is the key to a successful marriage.
