Wish he'd put in more effort
My husband and I have been together almost 7 years and honestly we didn't have any problems until recently.
It never bothered me that we spent every night on the couch barely talking to each other. That our text messaging during the day consisted solely of "I love you." " I miss you." That we had very little in common
Idk what changed but that doesn't feel like enough for me anymore. I've expressed this to him several times and he always says we'll start doing more stuff together.
And we have, when we have similar off days which is like once a month. But everything we have done I have planned. We went on a day trip about a month ago and when I was planning it he couldn't even be bothered to look at restaurants he might want to eat at. Instead I found several things I knew he would enjoy doing but he didn't bother to try and look up anything.
He had mentioned wanting to go to a renaissance faire a couple months ago, and I saw that there are several going on around us this month so I got tickets (which weren't cheap).
Today's mothers day and all I got was a text saying happy mothers day... Now I don't believe he has to get me anything, cause I'm not his mother but he didn't even take our kids to get me cards or gifts which is something I do for him every year.
And what hurts the most is I feel like he would rather talk to and spend time with everyone but me. He has no issue messaging his friends all day, but when I call we talk for maye 2-3 minutes and the rest of the time is silence. He's asked a couple of them out to lunch but can't bother to ask me. He has a female friend (I have no issue with him having women friends) who will send him pictures of her outfits and her makeup and they talk about that (he grew up with a single mom and sister). And I like makeup and fashion but I don't do anything but go to work and come home so I don't have cute outfits to send or pretty makeup ideas.
Idk I just wish he'd give me the time and attention I try to give him 😔
