DH makes no effort to spend time with me

Want do you want from him?

You aren't articulating it here.

Agreed op, what do you want? There isn't much you can do this time of year, it's cold and nasty out. Also, how's your sex life? If it is bad, that coupled with the lack of effort means you have a problem. If he's into you physically and you're just in a rut, spring should cure it.

I think if you're setting the bar for proving love and affection that high, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

Sounds like when men get upset that their women are bored or aren't that into it during sex.

I don't know that I'd quite make that comparison. To me it sounds more like when a woman is having enthusiastic sex with her husband a few times a week, and instead of enjoying that he's pouting that he's not getting it more often.

No but some of them complain that "my wife wasn't into sex", it's only "duty" or "pity" sex. Wah wah wah. OP's complaint sounds much more legitimate, imo.

Also, is there any chance he is an only child and you are not? Some people like a little quiet "off" time by themselves, while others can't stand to be left to their own devices. So maybe it's just a personality difference?

This is an excellent point.

Also, OP, you need to talk to him and spell it out for him. Don't expect him to read your mind. That's not productive, and it's a lose-lose situation.
