Do you think maybe you could have a talk with your husband? The one assertiveness sentence that's good is "I feel ___ when ____ because _____" and just fill in the blanks. If you don't communicate what you need men will never know, apparently they're not mind readers. If you don't think talking would help maybe couples counseling could help. Me and my husband did that in 2015 and it helped.

If you ever feel like venting I'm in chat most of the time during the day, just PM me in chat and I'll listen I don't mind.
I have tried communicating with him several times. Doesn't seem to be working. I've even had us do worksheets on needs and emotions etc. If he would go to therapy we'd have no one to watch the kids. He has stated before that he wouldn't go to therapy.
