The one thing I do know is that the language that men and women speak is so incredibly different. I wish that we were given a manual before marriage so that we could communicate more effectively. It all comes down to learning how to speak each others language. My T loves the book 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus' she just raves about it.
Have you honestly approached your husband in a non blaming way and said "I miss you?" or shared how you really feel? I would bet you he has no clue, I didnt. We men often go along, and have no idea our wife is about , to walk out the door, and it isnt because we dont care, we just dont know.

I have told my husband I wanted to go to marriage counseling and he won't go
.
Jenkins I did read the book Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus and it is a good book. I taught my husband some of what is in the book
Communication is key and that's one of our tough parts. I need to communicate to my husband that I need him to listen and not to fix me. - Kind of like how girlfriends listen to eatchother but don't try to fix eatchother unless one requests it. And I am 38 and trying to figure my life out
I'm going to make an effort to do new and fun things with my husband and hope that helps. We need to be more than just parents.
Thanks for listening
