"I hurt all the time because I feel alone and abandoned."
"My husband is no longer my friend."
"The only time he pays attention to me is when he wants sex."
"He is never there for me when I need him the most."
"When he hurts my feelings he doesn't apologize."
"He lives his life as if we weren't married; he rarely considers me."
"We're like ships passing in the night, he goes his way and I go mine."
"My husband has become a stranger to me, I don't even know who he is anymore."
"He doesn't show any interest in me or what I do."
I try to explain to my wife how I feel but every time I do It's minimize and interrupted and made out to be a farce. Her feelings are always real and mine are always made up or ridicules. Or I get I am so hurt that you could even possibly feel that way about me. Then when she attempts to understand it is done without her assume responsibility for her action and her part in causing me and us pain. Someone else is always to blame.
She constantly makes me feel like I am an inadequate father just because I am a man and she is a woman she makes it hard for me to enjoy spending time with my daughter because she makes it a constant choice between her and my child she always makes it out to be some kind of competition. I just want to make things right and keep my wife happy without loosing out on who I am in the process. How can I accomplish this?
