Hi Rhapsody,
I've seen other women this way with their husbands and just watching it makes me feel clostaphobic-I can only imagine how the husband must feel. Then again, you have to take into consideration that I'm a person that needs lots of space.
Try backing off of him and letting him breathe- he'll pay attention to you when he's ready. If he doesn't then you may be making paying attention to you too demanding or unpleasant or as you wrote-he's going through his own funk he's got to work through. You've got to give him that time and space to do that. Otherwise, you're just annoying him and he'll want you to go away.
You know someone not wanting us can sometimes be a lot more alluring then someone throwing themselves at us. Let him wonder and want you for a change. I'm not suggesting playing games- butI think he could use a little cat a mouse game where he's the hunter instead of the hunted. Guys are really into that crap. You need to find other things to focus on so he doesn't take for granted that he's the center of your universe. At least you're making it seem that way and that's ASKING to be taken advantage of.....it's human nature.
I hope this helps. Hang in there.
