How do I communicate when he just won't? I mean he's hardly said 2 dozen words to me in the last several days. I am so frusterated with relationships right now...

My sister has been married to a man who wont talk for over thirty five years, once she tested it out and didnt talk to him just waited for him to talk to her to see how long he woud go, five days later he told her they was out of toilet paper.....
 He is getting worse as he is getting older. |

Maybe you can start by communicating with him. Just start talking about how you feel: about him, about his lack of interest in communicating with you, about life in general, about finances, about the kids, about yourself, on and on. Maybe if you use the language of feelings - of communication - he will learn from it and want to join in.
Otherwise, when I try my best to communicate my feelings to people and they don't respond in some kind of reasonable way, I feel that they just do not care enough about our relationship.  Then it's up to me to decide what to do about that.

Can't stop you from praying and blessing me, and if that makes you feel better feel free.  But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me. And let's all respect each other's feelings. With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."

Also, I don't like to talk as much when I'm in a negative state of mind because I don't want to bring you down. I'm doing the best I can. Sorry

No need to be uncomfortable. He knows I have been upset and looking for a why....
