Ideas to re-connect to distant DH

Quick background info: married for 9 yrs, DD 3y, DS 18month, am a SAHM. Moved several times in the last 2 yrs for DH work, now in a new town, no friends/family close to help with kids. DH has some health issues affecting his sleep periodically.

After a recent argument DH stopped talking to me. Usually we reconnect, apologize etc. This time it has not happened. DH is distancing himself, going out on his own a lot. Also, I moved to DS's bedroom a few month ago to help DH's sleep as the baby was waking a lot. Now I am stuck in spare room & not welcome in our bedroom. DS is sleeping better, so could stay in own room.

We seem to have lost the connection between us completely and I'm not sure how to get it back. Have tried talking, but DH is dismissive/evasive. We talk, but only about day to day stuff and the kids. Bought him Christmas presents, which he has not opened, just put aside. I have not reacted to this. I fear if I confront him/demand change etc he will blow up and it will be worse. (He has form for this!) But don't just want to sit here and say nothing either?? Not sure really, he just seems to have gone off me completely and wants nothing to do with me. Not sure where to go from here or what to do.

It's the cold hearted, calculating coldness that horrifies me.

No wonder he can't sleep at night.

Get advice and leave him whatever the reason he's being like this, either way it's not good enough for you or your dc
