Sounds like you two may need some help in learning how to talk to about difficult issues. Marriage counselors do this for a living. Is there a chance he would go with you? Sometimes it helps just to have someone else there to encourage a conversation to take place.

It's great that you see the issue is a problem for you and you would like to work on it. That's a big step. Take care.
