Could you handle an unaffectionate husband?

[Naya20]

My husband literally acts like I'm invisible he never hugs/kisses me or shows me any love at all. I've asked him over & over what's wrong or whether he still loves me he just says that he does love me yet never changes. I even asked him if he was cheating yesterday which he denied. I can't be married to someone who shows me no love. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get him to be more affectionate? Thanks

How old are you both? How long have you been married? Kids etc need to understand the whole situation.
Has he always been like this?

I'm 30 & he's 36. We've been married 5 years & we have a 4 year old daughter. I'm also 5 months pregnant

No he hasn't always been like this he used to show me a lot of attention. This started about 4 months ago

I know that when I was pregnant I needed more attention than usual. I remember saying to my husband "You hug me!" He did. It was fine. He just needed telling.

Have you asked him to see someone professional or does he think there isn't a problem?
There can be different pages issue and men can need prompting as chips said

Yes he's been seeing a psychiatrist & he's on anti depressants but he just seems to be getting worse

Have you got acces to his mental health team??
Has he got a care coordinator or a specific psych nurse you could voice your concerns to

No but he tells me what happens each time. He's on medication to control his anger

Have you heard about the 'love languages'? You may be expecting affection in a certain way and he's giving it to you differently? x

When I took ad they made me feel emotionless so I stopped taking them. . Maybe he could try a different one?

Your DH is on antidepressants and seeing a psychologist. I would have thought that this is connected to him not showing affection.

It's hard to be married to someone with mental health problems. Sometimes they don't have much to give as they struggling with their problems.

My DH had a lot of stress issues that he is still struggling with. He also shows no affection to me. I am finding it very hard to "stand by him" and keep making allowances for him, as I am so unfulfilled and I feel I get so little in return from him. It feels like it has become his personality to be on the receiving end only.

Have you asked him if he could show some affection? Simply request it?

If OH is taking lithium for instance, the side effects are listed online, which might help you.

Yes I ask him daily to show affection & he says he will but never does

Have you considered couples counselling? I think you will end up bitter and resentful (like me) if you don't get your needs met.
