The only time she really does see her husband is around dinner time, but that’s only if he is not on a call.
Now, every night, he will spend time with their daughter for about one hour, but then he goes off to play video games or watch videos in his office, that’s located in another area of their house.
Instead of trying to do things with her, he chooses to retreat to his office.
“Exception is that he likes us to come on his morning coffee run if we can,” she said. “The moment we sit in the car, he turns up the music.”
“EVERY time before my seatbelt is even buckled. No opportunity to talk ever while we’re running errands. Getting coffee, we don’t talk much. We don’t go on dates. I do suggest these things. I tell him I want intimacy. I want time together. He acknowledges and does nothing, just continues to do his own thing. So I don’t take the extra step of planning and MAKING it happen because I feel hurt and withdrawn in turn.”
Her husband is content to keep everything the way that it is. She’s pretty positive that there isn’t another woman in his life, and he loves being able to talk about having a wife and children to people in his life.
When she does pass her husband in their house, he does mention that she looks gorgeous or he compliments her. He also tells her that she’s doing a wonderful job, but that’s the extent of them really interacting. He doesn’t try to connect with her in a meaningful way, and when they do stop to talk, it’s only about what needs to be done around their house.
“I feel so lost, and I don’t know what to do because I want him to want it,” she continued. “I don’t want him to force himself to do something romantic he’s not into that would feel the opposite of romantic. I really love him and want to connect with him.”
What do you think she can do to get her husband to spend more quality time with her?
