Dh issue

Dh is a good man and kind in ways. In other ways tight with money and careful about things in general. Slow to complete things. He relies on me to do a lot and cook and think of all the stuff with dc. Even in the evening he asks am I hungry and it is a hint for me to rustle up something. I have started to withdraw from him. Stay in the bedroom so he has to think what dc will eat (I cook a meal earlier in the evening) we both teach so home 4 ish.

I just prefer being alone. Also unless I think of things to do we never do anything. Life is pretty mundane. He asked me last night did I love him anymore (I was crying). I didn't say no I just said things have to change but today they are the exact same. He said we should be grateful for healthy dc and just get on with it.

Can you book a weekend away just you two and see if there is any spark there?

Sometimes the flame goes out with day to day living and you have i reignite it.

Or if you can’t stand the thought of going away with him then it does sound like the flame is well and truly out as most would feel excitement and look forward to going away without the children for a short break.

We haven't had a night away from the dc since they were born (nearly 6 years) and we used to go out a little but not anymore. Just got into a rut. I can't leave the marriage so I have to make it work. Maybe a night away would be good.
