My Husband and I have only been married for 1 year, but I can't recall ever totally being happy with him when I think about it now. I think I was happy with him when we first started dating, but ever since we got married things just really started to get much worse between us. We have never been able to effectively communicate with each other. We fight on a daily basis pretty much now (mostly due to misunderstandings and cuz we're both stubborn) and I can't take it. I am afraid of staying in this marriage forever cuz I truly believe things will never get better between us and I am not even sure I still love my Husband. He doesn't really ever express his feelings or make me feel loved. I am scared to move out cuz we have so many bills and I don't make a lot of money at my job at the moment. I also don't feel like I have any friends or anyone else that I can count on to help me. I am just so miserable being around my Husband and he never seems to want to leave me alone. We spend waaaay too much time together. He is too dependent on me and it really bothers me. I have told him that too and he always asks me what I want him to do. I am sick of that. I just want him to do what he wants to do and I don't want his entire life to be centered on me. I was his first and only girlfriend and he never really got close to anyone before me so I think that's his biggest problem. I really can't handle the fact that he never hangs out with any friends or family or even goes out anywhere (aside from work) without me. I find it really disturbing and I think he needs to get help for his problems. The issue is that we can't get therapy now cuz we don't have health insurance or the extra money to get it and we won't for at least another few months. I am Independent and I really really need his dependence on me to change. I worry that things will get very bad between us in a few months time and I have been feeling really depressed and I don't have anyone that I can talk to since my friends and family never try to talk to me and they're always distant. I don't know what to do. I think that other perspectives would be helpful on my situation. We have reached the point where I don't even know what I can talk to him about and we have no sex life or intimacy really between us. We have done therapy before, but only a few sessions and it never really seemed to help us much. It seems like my Husband doesn't know how to express himself and he keeps distancing himself from me. He rarely makes the first move to kiss me or have sex with me so it doesn't seem like he wants me, but of course when we do talk he tells me that he does want me and it seems like I don't want him. My Husband always tells me that he needs me and really doesn't want me to leave him, but it's practically all I think about since I am so unhappy with him. I feel like I'm just raising him and that isn't how a marriage should be. He needs to show me that he is capable of handling tasks without having to be asked to do them and he hasn't yet. I have a history of depression and my depression has only gotten worse since my Husband and I got married. I feel like I even pushed my Husband to marry me cuz I'm the only one who really ever brought up marriage in our relationship, but my Husband told me he didn't feel pushed. I feel like I always liked the idea of being married to someone, but my Husband never really felt like the proper fit for me.
