i mean, there's the conversation about when to enroll the kids or when to do the grocery or who called and if there's mail but nothing that's not domestically inclined anymore. just earlier, on our way home from church, i asked him about something that was really not important and when he answered, it was to do so vaguely. so i asked him for details. then he got mad. and said what he answered was so simple, it didn't need an explanation. i asked about the car, a subject i'm not knowledgeable about, and he knows that for a fact. so, i can not understand his reaction. the afternoon started out perfectly okay and ended up with both of us not talking at all. and lately, it seems it has been like that always. they say, when a man reaches the age of 40, he begins to "roam". i'm not sure if he's now an example of that?

alot of people go through this and it is hard to get out of it once you start going this way. i have a few friends in this place now. you may need to try and get him to talk. just tell him i want to talk about somethings when we have time for just us and the kids are not around like after tehy go to bed or something. just look at him and say it is important to you and that you really need him to. then when the time comes that you can talk like later that night just tel him how you are feeling and why you feel this way. dont be upset or accuse of anything though. just be calm and tell him how you feel. as him what is going on with him and what you want. it could be as simple as he has alot going on and he didnt tell you about it. like problems at work, not feeling good, etc. if you cant get him to talk which i know some of the men wont cause i have a friend tiff that has one of those. do what she did sit down and write out everything you are feeling but remember dont accuse him of anything as far as wrong doings. if he is not doing anything it will only get him upset and then you have new issues. handle one thing at a time. just write out how youare feeling and why you feel like this kind of like you did here. write that you do love him if that is the case which i am taking it is cause you are here asking for ideas. then put it some wehre he will find it liket he coffee pot, the frig, mirror etc and dont say a word. just fold it and put his name on the outside. try to make sure when he finds it you are not in that room to give him a chance to read it by him self and think about it. you can put in there after you read and think please come talk to me if you dont want to then please just write down what is going on for me. it worked for her. i dont know maybe you are just stuck in the day to day rut as well. that happens alot and then it is a matter of surprise and just doing something different. maybe you can ask if you can go do something that is for you 2 and you 2 only that will be fun. me and hubby go to sheveport and do fun stuff together we have to take the kids but we do family stuff during the day and then at night get them movies to watch at the room while we go down stairs and play. they have onsite childcare for you to use is why we go there. or we go camping as a family thing and then after the kdis go to bed we sit out under the stars and snuggle and talk. that and when we go camping we are like 2 big kids lol. i hope something i said helped or gave you an idea. it is hard when you get to this spot in your relationship. good luck and i wish you all the best

i've suggested a lot of times already that we go somewhere, just the two of us and at first, he'd make plans but no follow through. i'd feel like he was just tolerating me. i don't know what to do anymore.

we're on the same boat. there are times when i find ourselves at a loss for conversation. though, my husband doesn't really get mad. it's just that it's like we're having a q&a session. it sometimes becomes frustrating.
i'm sorry i don't have an answer for you as we're on the same situation. but i will surely follow this discussion. goodluck to us both!
