being ignored again

Once again its the weekend and my wife has had a go at me and is ignoring my existence, she does this every weekend and the only way she will begin to acknowledge me is if I go and apologise but I no longer want to keep doing this, I don't understand her anymore, she will sometimes be very affectionate but other times will look away if I go to give her a kiss, she has lost all interest in sex and if I try to I initiate it she will roll over and ignore me and has told me that she doesn't want sex because she feels like its forced, I have never pressured her to have sex, I'm just beginning to wonder if its that she doesn't love me, I have tried to talk to her about any of this but all she will do is make me feel guilty for hurting her by asking, the only thing she is interested in is fb, I just don't know what to do anymore

Maybe he does care. I'm just speaking from my perspective, which may be similar to that of his wife.
My husband too would always be the one to try and get us talking again, but without addressing the original issue - because the status quo of the relationship works for him.
My husband could say this too - I.e my wife goes long periods without talking to me and never wants to have sex with me. But then there's my side of things - being utterly miserable, everything in our life centred around making my husband's life work and no consideration for my needs/happiness.
Maybe she is depressed. or maybe she is genuinely unhappy.

I am presuming your child/children are small - sounds like it could be depression. The fact that she tried to connect and speak to you is positive. I would recomend you discuss the possiblility of depression PND with her, suggest she go and speak to her GP and get some counselling booked. If she won't go it will help you to discuss it with a third party. Whether you stick at it or separate you still need to comunicate. i do hope you work thought it, it's freadful feeling unloved and unwanetd.

If she is a SAHM to a very small child, then depression is likely. Followed by the aching tiredness that being at home with a small child can bring. Followed by the money stress that being at home with a small child can bring. Find out what she needs. If she is telling you, listen.
