Anyone else just get like nothing from their husband in terms of the emotional side of the relationship? I'll chat away at him, try to make conversation, and I get a literal blank stare back. We don't have childcare often, but I try to organise solo date nights for at least his birthday etc, I had to ask him myself if we could go out for brunch for mother's day (with the kids) even though he knows I love going for breakfast. He's otherwise not suggested a single thing since we went to a gig HE wanted to go to in march last year.
Even with things like baby movements (I'm currently pregnant) I had to repeat myself 3 times yesterday that I was feeling a bit anxious about level of movement (not something I get stressed about often) which finally elicited a "it's probably fine" end of.
I feel bad complaining because he's a great dad (manages to not ignore the kids somehow, only me) and he does a lot around the house without being asked, but I feel like I'm loving with a roommate who happens to be my kids dad.
I think he's completely burnt out (we both work full time), but he refuses to take any time to himself to recharge, so when we finally have the kids in bed he's just a zombie.
I suggested he leave the kids in nursery tomorrow and go do something for himself, but he's decided not to and is solo parenting for the day (I'm working) which I know he'll come home stressed from.
I just feel so lonely 🤷🏼♀️
