You say you love your husband, but what, exactly do you love about him? From the way you describe your relationship, I really don’t see any positives – he doesn’t communicate, you can’t talk to him without constant criticism, he complains, badmouths you to friends, interrupts you and corrects you, you don’t seem to be able to express yourself?

I say this from the point of being married as well. My husband and I have been through some tough times and challenges, but at least we can discuss issues that arise.

If it sounded like your husband would consider couple’s counseling, I’d suggest that, but the way you describe him, it doesn’t seem like he’d be open to the idea.

Sorry to sound pessimistic, but if you’re in your 50s and he’s around the same age – and has always been this way, the likelihood of him changing is slim. And, he’d have to be the one to decide he wants to change. I guess it boils down to how much you want to put up with. Maybe some therapy for yourself would be beneficial.

I wish you all the best while figuring this out.
