Marriage advice for my friend

I had a friend come to me for advice and I don’t know what to say to her. So like everything in my life I’m writing to the wonderful ladies at Glow.

She said she feels her and her husband have lost the connection they once had. That he doesn’t care anymore no matter what she does. She asked me if it’s normal not to have anything to talk about anymore? She said her husband doesn’t talk to her anymore. Well they talk but all they talk about is their kids and nothing else. They’ve been married for 8 years, she’s a SAHM and works from home part time. So she doesn’t get to do anything herself while her husband works third shift. They’re interested in completely different things now.

My husband and I don’t have any kids yet so I’m not sure what to say. We’ve never had trouble carrying on conversations or what she’s describing.

I suggested maybe going to a counselor or something to talk about it. She said when she tries to work on things, he just gets mad and throws her errors back at her. She said “if I can just be the wife I think he needs than maybe he can love me like that again”. That just broke my heart in two. I want to help but I’m at a loss for words.

Any advice or insight ladies?
