writes:I really need some help.I am pregnant with my 4th child, and even though I have there father in my life, I still feel like I'm a single mother. He contrubuts money wise, he does nothing with the children. We have two boys 8, and 6. He doesn't spend any time with them. We also have a 1 year old girl. He plays with her before bed but thats all. No diaper changing, he doesn't feed her, bath her nothing. With me it's just as bad. He works all day, takes a shower when he gets home, then most of the time says he has something to take care of. We don't even have dinner together. I feel so lonely all the time, I just want him to show some love and affection toward me. I know I'm a good person and mother and I know I treat him good. Most women wouldn't put up with what I do. I don't know how to make him listen to me and understand my feelings. Please help any suggestions are welcomed.

don't criticize him say that you love him every day.
Surprise him one night by making a candle lit dinner one night just the two of you send the kids to parents or baby sitter, by sexy clothes to wear.
or if you want go the pub and act like you don't know each other and go on dates to get the spark back.

He seems to think that money is all it takes to raise a family? You have to talk to him about this before you end up with a dysfunctional "pseudo family". He has to realize it is more than money. Is he working overtime? Can he cut back on hours and help out so that the children have a father figure? So that you feel loved and not like you're just married to an ATM machine?
