Me and DH have been through tough times over the past 18 months or so. A real mixture of things, parental illnesses, a really big and unsettling move, other smaller stuff which adds up over time. I've been powering on through and have only just realised in the past month or so how much of an impact all of this has had on me.

Unfortunately it's had all had a major impact on our relationship. I feel the issue is more to do with me, I'm letting him know where I'm unhappy and I feel like the baddie, whereas he'd be happy to continue on as we were, but he can't understand how unhappy I was.

I realised tonight how happy we were early on in our relationship. Is there any chance of us getting that back and nurturing it??

Well, does he listen to why you’re unhappy? Does he care?

You want to know how to get the love back. You’re probably agonising over it. But is he? Is he wracking his brains about how to reconnect?

Sorry you’ve had such a difficult time Brew

What I’m trying to say is, you can’t heal things all on your own.

in my experience the way to rebuild trust and intimacy is in some gestures offered and accepted over time but it needs to be a two way street. But yeah it totally is possible for relationships to change evolve and get better and grow with you as it were.
