DH and I have been married 10 years, together 15 and we have a 5yo ds. I'm really starting to struggle with our relationship. Nothing I do is ever good enough, nothing I say is ever right, if I do something around the house he'll either criticise it or re-do it. He undermines me when I discipline our ds. We have zero sex life. I mean literally zero for about a year, maybe more. He just generally doesn't seem to like me very much. He's not much of a talker, and we're just like room mates to be honest. I make a joke about it when watching TV and say 'ahh it must be really nice to have a husband who loves you like that' and he laughs, I've tried talking to him loads of times so he knows I'm not happy but nothing ever changes. I do love him, and I think he loves me too in his own way, we're making plans to move and generally we are okayish, but it just feels sometimes like he's settled for something he's not all that happy with. He never pays me compliments or seems overly impressed with any of my achievements. I'm so exhausted with never feeling good enough, and told him so last night - I said no wonder I have no self confidence when he grinds me down constantly but he didn't answer. I'm so frustrated!! What can I do to get us past this? Worth adding I don't think there's an OW involved.
