I don’t think my wife is interested in me anymore. We’ve been together for 6 years now. I just can’t see the interest anymore everything she does for me is routine and a chore.
On her days off and my days at work, guaranteed she’s out with friends. Both our days off she’ll watch tv sun up to sun down while I’m begging for us to do something. But it’s her day off she wants to relax. Sigh.
She doesn’t flirt with me anymore. She doesn’t do small things for me that would mean the world. We’re always together though when we can be. I’ve tried many things to spark interest but it’s just never been reciprocated, like ever.
Ive brought up my unmet emotional needs time and time again but we just can’t get through to each other. She thinks my standards are too high and I think it doesn’t matter what my standards are I deserve to feel liked, loved, valued, happy…… we have so much invested in each other including shared debt.
I just can’t walk away with a clean break. If I had a place to stay where I could take my animals, I’d have been gone already.
Unfortunately I don’t have anyone else or make 3x the rent to get in somewhere else where I live. I’m sad that I’m stuck for now. I’ve honestly told her already that I resent her and I wish I could flip a switch to caring to not caring because I’m tired of being in pain.
The same week I said that, her day off watching tv, I spend the whole time cleaning the house top to bottom and when I was about done she says “want me to help?” And I said “I don’t care.” And then was irritated with me for having such a gross attitude. Sigh…..
