[quote=Anonymous]OP's post could have described my husband.

The falling asleep while watching TV (even a movie at a movie theater), typical.  It's to the point I will not let him drive after 8pm.  I think he has sleep issues.

Before jumping off the deep end, try talking to him in the morning or set aside time to talk about important stuff over breakfast or dinner.  He should care about a job offer you are considering.  He might not have been in the right frame of mind when you approached him last night so he wasn't paying attention.  Not because he didn't care but because he was distracted and tired.

It sounds like you need more one on one time.  Just schedule it early enough that it is before he is winding down or at a time you both can wind down together.  Sitting down daily to breakfast and dinner opens up time to communicate.  Turn off the TV if you need to discuss something important so his attention is directed at you.  Discuss things before his clock out time (for my husband, I seriously cannot have a discussion after 8pm because he wouldn't remember what was said).

Things are different as you grow older together.  At 15 years end, you have to work at keeping the romance alive and work at making each other a priority.  Sometimes that means one spouse takes the lead and the other one follows.  Start by giving each other hugs in the morning before going to work and good night kisses before going to bed.  A little touching everyday helps to keep the connection alive and leads to more intimacy.[/quote]
