Feeling like Im done

I just need to vent! Im feeling like Im ready to be done. I have been Eping since day 4 and my daughter is 6.5 months now. I tried dropping to four pumps, because if I were actually nursing thats how many times my daughter would eat. It was going great, I was sleeping until 7 and feeling rested, but the last few days I am pumping so slow! I am having to pump for an hour, and then when I am finished I still feel uncomfortably full. By the time an hour comes my poor nipples are so sore and bruised, I stop.I have tried picking the pumps back up, but cant seem to empty. I am just frustrated. I want to stop but my husband keeps pushing me to continue because my goal was 9 months to a year. I appreciate his support but its making me feel that much more guilty for quitting. I counted my frozen stash today and I only have 230 oz, thats only enough for 11.5 days....So no question really, just needed to complain to an understanding crowd, because I love my husband but he has no idea what its like. I feel like I am letting not only him down, but my daughter for not even being able to suck it up for a year for her. I think I am just mentally exhausted. To all you who have gone a year, serious koodos!
