What you focus on grows and if you want to give your marriage a chance, you have to focus on what is working.

You will need to try to let go of the negativity that you feel towards your husband (at least for now - plenty of time for that if you end up divorcing) so you can see what actually happens when you show your DH more appreciation.  It may improve your marriage and the way you feel about it.  It may not, but it will be impossible to connect with him when you are 'thanking' him while gritting your teeth and continually coming from a place of anger and resentment.  [/quote]
