I Am Married But Lonely
I was 18 when I met my husband and we married 6 months later. The first couple of years had their ups and downs but I was happy. A lot had to do with the fact that I "escaped" my life at home. He listened ,accepted me for me and was my rock. As the years went by everything that first drew me to him was fading. I feel as if he doesn't care to listen. There is a lot of stress in our lives but I feel our relationship has been put on the back burner by him. There are more important things to worry about he tells me.
He always seems preoccupied. I feel as if I am walking on eggshells around him not to **** him off. When he gets into one of his moods he completely shuts down. I live with a stranger for the next couple of days until finally I put my pride aside and come to him while he should be coming to me. We don't share any intimacy. He doesn't tell me he loves me, he doesn't show me. When I surprise him with a hug or kiss he seems annoyed. Example: The other day he was cleaning the dishes...I put my arms around him and he did not respond. When I asked why he was being so cold he said "don't you see I'm busy". Urghhh, that gets me so aggravated! Passion is completely gone. Friendship is gone. I don't do what to do.
