That's it really. How do you go about getting the fun back into the relationship, the talking, the laughing, the thing that made you fall in love in the first place. Because I'm absolutely fucking stumped, but things have to change.
I can't spend the rest of my life with him when it is like this. We've only been together for nearly 6 years, it feels like 60. Currently I'm a SAHM. He works full time and has also gone back to uni full time, so is always doing work, always. He is out of the house from 8am-7pm through the week. When he gets home, he plays with DD for half an hour before bed. Then he'll lay on the couch, exhausted, watching TV and moaning about work. I'll cook us dinner, we eat in silence mainly watching TV, and then the rest of the night is spent with either him continuing to lay on the couch in silence/nodding off, or upstairs in the office working. I appreciate he is working hard for us, I really do and he knows that.
I'm craving attention from him, but he has always been a 'loner' and so is quite fine with the above set up, and I think he just assumes that I am too.
It's draining the life out of me. I'm only mid twenties, but feel 30 years older.
How do I do this?
