Does my husband really love me
Asked by: Allegrelady from -
I have been married 18 years to a decent and hardworking man. He will do anything for anyone except me. He is very out going and has a great number of friends. I use to think that he loved me but that was many years ago. He will not help me with any of the house work except take out the trash,{I have to Put the LIners Back In] He does not cook or help with laundry. Any repairs or improvements to the house ,I have to ask him again and again, and then when he does them, They are always done sloppy and half way.He has taken me to i movie in our entire marrige, He has never taken me out to a club in all these years, He says why go if he doesn.t drink or dance. He makes plans to do things with his friends whether I am off work or not. He has no romance in him at all. He doesn't want me to come to him if I am having any kind of problems. I have to work it out the best way I can. He never buys me presents for christmas or any occasion. He never comforts me when I cry. He will just turn up the volume on the tv. I have tried everything to get him to realize what it is doing/done to our marrige. He always says it is my fault, He has never admitted and will not admit he is wrong. He does tell me that he knows he could treat me better. He has been telling me that for years but he makes no effort. He did admit one time that he does put me last and again he makes no effort. He does expect me to help him with any outside jobs that require 2 people. I can roof a house, Replumb a house, I chop firewood, I service my own car ETC. I am a nice looking woman and a very good person. I have a full time job plus all the work at home. I am not kidding when I say he doesn't bring me flowers, {He did Bring me a Toolbelt to put my tools in}. I am so tired of being neglected and taken for granted. I have no family at all and no one I can turn to for comfort except a little dog. I am insecure about leaving him, I don't know if I can make it on my own, Finacially or otherwise. please advise

Honey, I'm so sorry you are hurting so bad. You must feel so heartbroken. It does certainly sound like he is taking you for granted. Heck, he admits it! Have you come out and ask him if he loves you? You know, some men are not able to show affection easily. Maybe he wasn't raised to show that kind of emotion. Are his parents together and living? You could probably learn alot by watching his parents. They were his role models of what a marriage is supposed to be like.

I think your husband is taking you for granted! Don't put up with that kind of shabby treatment! Throw a scare into him, and pack your bags! You teach people how to treat you, and as long as you put up with it, he'll never change! If you do leave him, he'll have to pay alimony! You'll do just fine! You deserve better, and you know it! You're not his wife! You're his maid! If he really loves you, he'll change when you tell him you want a divorce! Good luck to you!...

In any relationship a few ground rules that both parties agree on should be established. This pattern of behaviour that your husband is displaying has been left unchallanged so in his nice little cosy world it's perfectly acceptable to carry on the way he does. You have to sit him down and tell him that the house needs to be shared equally and how it makes you feel when he doesn't pull his weight. Im sure your husband loves you very much and I know how it makes you feel when he carries on in such an irresponsible fashio...
