[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many husbands do you know that do all the things you want him to do?  Take a look around.  There are a few but in the vast majority of marriages women make all the plans and handle all the logistics of the kids.  That's my impression anyway.  I don't think marriage counseling is suddenly going to make a man permanently start doing all that stuff.[/quote]

Well I’d like him to care more about me than just someone to sleep with and someone to choose what dinner he’s doing to have each night.

Call me crazy. [/quote]

You are wanting him to care about something he doesn't care about. That isn't something that is within your power, unfortunately. You can motivate behaviors, sure. But you can't cause someone else to care about something.

You aren't crazy for wanting what you are wanting. But you are crazy to think you are somehow going to get it, With this man anyway. [/quote]

OP is projecting.  She is the one who doesn't care about her husband and takes him for granted. She is not a mind reader and is projecting her emotional state of ennui and marital indifference onto him.

She is someone who will never be satisfied no matter what he does.  She is not grateful for what she has.  Her husband tolerates her childish attitude without complaint.  Most men wouldn't.[/quote]
