My husband puts me down out of the blue and then tells me he needs ayyenti
Question Posted Sunday July 11 2010, 1:21 am
It seems like my husband has been putting me down a lot from the way I grocery shop, cook, put grocery's in the car, in the house. He makes fun of my feet because they are cracked, my hands because I bite my nails, and he is constantly joking about stuff that is not funny. I'm to the point where I'm embarrassed about when he opens his mouth if we r in public. I have withdrawn from him and even though we have sex there is absolutely no emotional connection. I love my husband but I'm scared that we are growing apart and he doesn't even see it. I have asked him directly to please keep his jokes to himself n that jokes are not on me and then he tell me I don't have a sense of humor. What do i do to get him to see that this is not healthy in our marriage. I'm no saint and I think that I'm really angry inside n I do want to not be around or talk or communicate at all anymore and that frankly scares me.

It is not right that he can treat you this way. What you need to do is sit him down and tell him from the heart that you really do not appreciate the way he has been treating you. If he does not listen, try seeing a relationship counsellor together. They can help you to discuss things better with your spouse and allow you both to open up about how you are feeling. You should not be having sex with someone you cannot put your heart into. If it is mindless sex, it is pointless sex. If he does not listen to what you have to say or does not want to see a counsellor with you, then maybe it is time to move on and get a divorce. But, before it comes to that, try to talk it out and have him understand what you are feeling.
If you cannot talk, it is not a relationship. You deserve someone who will listen, support you, and treat you how you deserve to be treated; with respect. You need to have a life where you are happy and free to be yourself. It is alright to love someone, but just because you love someone does not mean you have to live with them <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
