My husband doesnt want to talk to me. As i said we need to have a talk, but not in front of the kids, so i said come at 11 this morning, he didnt come home. (weve not really talked for the past month apart from kids and our house sale, as Im so fed up with his gambling, there is my post about it).

He is avoiding me 😳🙄

What do i do?

write down what you need to say and give it to him / send as a message. you tried to talk, he didnt respond - so it wont be tacky to text him instead

He's avoiding you because he knows what you're going to say. This doesn't mean that you don't get to communicate what you need to say, and that for you, the marriage is over, if that's what you mean by a break from it.

If you feel that you have done what you can in order to work out the issues and he is stonewalling you, write him a letter, and hand it to him next time you see him, and email him a copy.

Then carry on with what you need to do. You can't force him to engage with you, and if it's important to him, then he will.

@Seas164 break- i meant one of us move out for a couple of weeks break, not divorce, from each other to see if i miss him, love him, etc.

If you don't know whether you love each other, I'm not sure him sleeping non somebody else's sofa for a fortnight is going to get you the clarity you're after.
