How can I save my marriage? He has told me he is only staying with me for the kids!

Question - (22 October 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 25 October 2009)
A female Australia age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have been married for almost 9 years and I am pregnant with our fourth child. I recently realised that my husband will only say I love you when I say it first. I have since stopped saying it so now I don't hear him say those words. My husband used to be so wonderful and would do anything for me. A few months after our first child was born something changed. My husband stopped listening to me and did not want to talk to me. He now doesn't even want to sit with me at night when we watch t.v.

He doesn't even want to have sex any more. In the past I have caught my husband trying to find woman on the internet and looking at porn and hiding it from me. When I have confronted him he says that he has felt distanced from me for a while and he only stays with me for the kids. Yet he would not bring it up earlier. I have tried to talk to him but it hasn't helped.

I guess I want to know if any one has been through this and has a solution. I think I want to save this marriage.

thanks

Hi I am going through somthing very similar,But in my case i cant seem to do anything right.I have 2 kids, a good job a house no worries and i feel like I can not even go near her,It may seem silly coming from a man but I feel scared to even approach her but, she is my wife and "I SHOULD NOT FEEL LIKE THIS WITH HER" I dare not even go near her to touch her or to make love,she said the other week "i will have sex when I am ready" Oh ok I should just wait for her!! is that normal, as it made me feel like a stranger to her.Sorry to go on but it is really affecting our relationship now

You think you want to save this marriage? That's not a good enough attitude either. If he's not in love with you then you can't make him stay. Take it slow and get some space for a little while or maybe the pair of you go on a quiet weekend away without the kids.
