Where do I start? We have been together for 16 years. We had kids together at a young age and have had to grow up together through a lot. I’m (32) F and he is (33) M. He hasn’t found a “career” or done anything since high school whereas I was forced to get educated and find my career.
this past Sunday I noticed he was becoming distant. He started falling a sleep on the couch more frequently and physical touch was less. I asked if he was happy. And now he is being vindictive and spiteful towards me. He openly admitted to withholding affection from me because he was awkward. He now takes drives to get away from me or our life. I asked to go to couple counselling and he has refused to. I’m absolutely heartbroken.
so I guess, this is the end isn’t it? I have offered to go stay at my mom’s for a bit so he gets the space he wants but he doesn’t want that happening. I just don’t want to bend to his every whim just to have some sort of connection and then he hurts me. I just want stuff to be back to the way it use to be.
