He often come home late, almost morning, rarely pick up my calls, turned off his cellphone, a bit overreacted when he was saying how much he missed me, I can't measure if he really mean it or not... well, hey...? is he start turn his back on me? doesn't feel the same man I am marrying with... :( something not norm is going on... am I a bit too rush to judge.. is there any other symptoms I need to know to identify?

When you said he rarely pick up your calls I'm reminded of what a blogger wrote about his father. He said his father did not speak and is very quiet but then out of the clear blue sky he hammer his son without warning or fit him into a bucket and he said fit there indeed. It could be the father's way of disciplining his child but no words said which is weird. Nothing was written about the father's love for the wife as the blogger only talked about his 'awards' but because he said nothing that his father abuses his wife speaks about his father fair to his other half in spite of his rare manner of correcting the child. It's possible he had seen his son giving headache to his mother and when the mother cuss him for coming home late, that's the time he got furious. Talk about short and simple but painful. Most men are like that I guess.

ah ok.., I take that opinion, you mean, its about an issue or a way of him to discipline me for not questioning too much why he came home so late every night, ignoring my calls and care nothing about letting me know what is going on, while here I am worrying sick wondering trying to understand. And hoping one day soon I find an answer... in silent? where does "communication" word go? is that what suppose to happen in wife & husband life? am I in some sort of army drivel? Odd, but thank you for summing that up in your opinion, yet.. seems I'm getting nowhere with the answer.

noted well... I do believe he loves me, yet sometimes jealousy of not having his time as much as I used to, make me start wondering what is going wrong.. Thanks! I guess... its time for me to understand him more..

I think both of you need to talk this through. Sometimes a good talk can solve a lot of problems.

I agree.., until today, I still not have any chance to talk to him, he was "working" during weekend, and there is no way I can contact him, office close and he was out of town with "out of coverage" message on his cellphone..;(

They say women have instinct.. and when a woman feels something is wrong means there is.. this doesn't necessary mean he's cheating on you or having an affair, he could be having troubles at work, with the family or even with you in your marriage.. In my point of view the best solution to not feel guilty or rush things out is to talk to him about it no matter what the answer might be good or bad only an honest open conversation can make things clear… wish you luck dear :)

Yup... I learned my lesson well today... this is something to do with "emotional outlook of being woman".. I am now notice that nothing can't be solve, I just need to have an extra "time" to understand and give him a chance to explain before I start thinking he is cheating on me.. a "benefit of the doubt".. Thank you to all of you... Good thing I am a member of mylot.. so I can meet nice people to give me positive advice.. Have a great week end everybody

i am not agreeable to call them sysmptoms because the term refers to a disease or disorder. i may call what you indicated as signs. your observation and feeling may be valid, but you need more evidences to really proceed with the next move. it sounded like you are not in speaking terms with your spouse. if you do, then talk with him and reach out to his thoughts and actions. in this way, he may open up to you and no more guessing as a result. best wishes..

yeah, you right... I just kind of "find" the word, as it some sort of man's disease..:), I mean of not talking too much when they're being "destructed". I guess so, its too early with the judgment. any tips how to start the conversation? He always too tired to talk when he came home... he almost never home lately.. what could possibly happening...?

well don't jump to any conclusions, he might just have a lot on his mind and don't feel like talking about it and needs time away. You need to just sit down with him and talk about the whole situation and if he overreacts about it then confront him and ask him why he is overreacting. Now the whole part about him staying out late and not answering your calls though should make you a little skeptical of what he is doing. If there is another woman involved then yes his attitude and composure will change with you because of his guilt of what he is doing to you and paranoia of not wanting to get caught. Just a thought good luck and i hope everything works out for you.

I would suspect that he is having an affair. If I were you I'd start looking for proof.

noted well... part of curiosity.., that also a good idea, start to think to hire private investigator, should be "fun" to find out the answer..:) naahh.. I guess I'll wacth him from far, and take a close look to what is going on without too much suspicion.. and then if something prove wrong, that would be time for me to make decision.. thks

It is time to have an honest heart to heart dialogue. However try to find out if he is overworked or there are pressures at work and where does he spends time. You may get some clue. Be tactful.
