At a loss
I need some advice. I’m sorry this is so long.
My husband and I have been together for nearly 10 years. Married for 3. He is my best friend. His sense of humor is contagious, and he is very hardworking.
However it seems since we got married things have gone downhill. He doesn’t help with housework, he doesn’t cook, he rarely will go grocery shopping with me. It just seems to be all in all a lack of interest. There isn’t any passion. We haven’t been intimate in a very long time, we honestly don’t even kiss much.
I recently had a talk with him about how I don’t feel appreciated and how I need help around the house. He was very helpful and attentive for the following week but is now back to the norm. I feel like I speak his love language constantly and he doesn’t even make an effort to speak mine.
He does compliment me sometimes, he’ll say I look cute or my makeup looks nice. But I think what tears me up is in moments of frustration or anger he makes snappy remarks that hurt. Idk if I’m just being too sensitive though.
A typical day at our house goes like this:
I wake up first, get dressed, say goodbye and head to work.
He will then go to work shortly after.
He typically gets off work before me, he has a strict 9-5 where as I work until I am finished with everything. So I usually get home around 5:30/6.
I will cook dinner. Clean up.
We may watch TV together or he may play video games. If he does I either read or work on other things. I usually give him the choice and he often chooses games.
When bedtime approaches I will do my thing, and many times he will stay up later.
If we do go to bed at the same time it’s the usual turn the TV on, turn over and go to bed.
I just don’t know what to do. Please help.
