I am a very frustrated and confused woman who has been married to my husband for 17 years this month with 5 beautiful children. I have issues about my husband and don't understand his intentions with other women. I feel that when other women are around, he gets confused as to whom he is married to. He forgets that I am there. I know that he loves me but what is he trying to tell other women. I feel the awkwardness from other women and their spouses when he acts this way. His body language seems to show interest in others by the way he is always facing them. He doesn't like to talk to me at all anymore and seems to push the children away more and more. He doesn't even tell me goodnight anymore. I am confused and have feel like we have lost interest in each other. He likes to sit at home alone or work outside(while I am watching the kids as I do all week long) and I like to be around friends and my kids. He avoids us in every possible way. My father passed away almost 9 months ago and has been so hard that I am now on depression meds but he gives me no comfort at all. He will talk to me about it but will send our children in the bedroom to see if I am okay. Please give me any advice as to what is going on. Thank you

Can you two go to marriage counseling? At what point did he start to show so much interest in other women? What are the traits that first drew you to him, and are they still there? Let your husband know how important it is for both of you to get counseling together..

I have been through this--my heart aches for you. Counseling is really important right now. Please go to a marriage counselor with your husband, and if he won't go, please go by yourself. You are worth it.

Hi, yorkielover. You've been married for 17 years... has he always been sort of like this? In other words, has he always been introverted, standoffish, and closed-off emotionally in some way? Or has his personality significantly changed over the last few years?
I imagine you've tried to sit down and tell him about your concerns and worries. How did he respond? |
