[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should stop reading about what’s wrong with him and work on being less [i]annoying [/i] to him.
Everything you write is about what’s wrong with him, what could have gone wrong in his childhood and how you don’t like his ‘emotional unavailability’. However, it appears that he thrives at work and in activities with others. You appear to literally be sucking the life out of the man.
If you truly want your marriage to work you have to turn your introspection inward.

What have you been doing to bother him and make him uncomfortable? How could you put your own husband at ease and make him happy in his own home?
This is supposed to be an intimate, joyful relationship with another person and you are failing at it. You have to accept that you are failing and stop putting the blame on your DH.[/quote]

This is so true OP! I made some (what I would consider really shallow!) changes, like look hotter and complaining less and enthusiastic sex and it's like my husbands ON switch turned. Sucks but true. Then from there he's more emotionally available to me. Looking back it's like I filled his tank so he can start to fill mine. Swallow your pride and give it a try for a few weeks! [/quote]
