Intimacy issues in marriage

Default profile image
Me and my husband had a massive argument before Christmas which ended up being a blessing in disguise, for the past 5 years there has been physical affection in our marriage inc sex. We both acknowledged we are more like parents living together. Over Christmas I tried to offer my husband affection, however it was just very awkward for both of us. I think working alternative shifts and having a young child has definitely put a wedge between us both. We haven’t talked since before Christmas and it’s gone back to pretending everything is okay, it’s a very lonely relationship to be in. I don’t feel I can bring up the conversation and I feel like I’m waiting for him to say something to me. He can be very critical towards and puts me down around cooking and housework, yet he does very little himself. We both work full time and my job is stressful but he doesn’t support me in any way. He obviously has great difficulties showing he cares even tho I know deep down he does, ie before Christmas he showed very little concern that I had a lump on my breast, I am fortunate my friends and family were very caring. I don’t usually cry a lot but over Xmas I did and he just said “what the f is wrong with you” then stormed out the house. I don’t see myself as a needy person at all.... just would be nice to feels close and loved from time to time by my husband. He wouldn’t be open to marriage counselling so I have no idea what to do next? Part of me doesn’t want to give up my my marriage but the other part thinks I don’t want more years to pass and think I wish I had turned the clock back. Any advice would greatly be appreciated

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated. We don’t really have date nights, we do have couple nights out etc. Good point about the marriage counsellor I may need to bite the bullet and approach it with him.

In life, it happens that at first glance everything is good. But then everything changes. There are small troubles one after another. Gradually, everything changes for the worse. As a result, life collapses, becomes unbearable. This is how our sins, small and large, manifest themselves. Everything we have done in the past affects our future. What should I do in this situation? To ease the suffering of the soul, to save it. It is necessary to be freed from past sins. It is not necessary to carry such a burden as past sins. It's better to get rid of it. This can be done on the website found-salvation.com. Many people make their lives easier this way. It really helps.
