One thing I can say for him is that he does work hard to provide for his family. I would also say he's a workaholic. When he is home, he's either watching TV or is busy on the computer. I guess my chief complaint would be the lack of time he devotes to his family. I don't think my husband fully appreciates all that I do for him and it makes me feel unfulfilled and unappreciated.
I have just about lost all desire to be intimate with him. It's hard to have romantic feelings for someone who only pays attention to you when they want sex. I need more than that. I tried explaining this to him but it has not sunk in and things are still the same. I imagined my marriage very different than what it has become. I know there are couples that are worse off than us but that truly doesn't make me feel any better about my situation. |

We argue in front of our kids and I hate it. Once he sets me off I can't control what comes out of my mouth. I know that's one thing I need to work on. The last thing I want is for my kids to think that it's okay to belittle your spouse. I really don't want to set a bad example like my parents did for me. I guess I should be thankful that he doesn't physically abuse me or cheat on me (as far as I know he hasn't cheated).

I know you can't help but think of yourself as the innocent victim, but I guarantee you that you bear some of the blame here. You guys need counseling. I don't know why counseling has such a negative connotation in this country. I mean, if you had a lump in your breast would you hesistate to get physical counseling in the way of a doctor?
But when we have mental/emotional problems we flat out REFUSE to see mental/emotional doctors. Lastly, don't kid yourself. If you've been fighting in front of your kids for 16 years, you've drawn them a blueprint for how relationships should go and they will perpetuate the cycle.
However, if you get counseling and do a complete 180 turn and treat each other with love and respect for the next few years before your kids leave the nest, you will have saved them from becoming as miserable as you are now. So if anything, get counseling so you don't screw your kids up any more than they are.
Sounds harsh, I know, but it is the truth.
