Another night alone

Another night my wife gets home I ask her about her day but she doesn't ask about mine just plays with the dog and asks the dog how he's doing and then just lays in bed with me at a distance and just sits on her phone even though we talked last night about how I feel and what I could use she never try to cheer me up and I'm afraid to talk to her again because she just gets annoyed and I am just lost and feel unsupported I know I can't rely on her for my happiness but it would be nice to have some support.she doesn't even want to hold my hand or have any physical contact.

That has got to suck. I am no expert at marriage, as i am single. Wish i had something profound and helpful to say. But I am out of my element here. So i will wish you the best. Take care

Has anything changed in her life recently?

It would appear odd if this has been a long term thing. Do you still have any closeness?

Is there something you or she feels is missing in your lives together? Is she wanting a child perhaps?

There are so many possibilities, why not chat with your doctor?

Cheers, Midori

I know she's going through her own stuff our son has pretty much disowned us because he thinks he raised himself so he never calls unless he needs something and his wife I don't think likes us so they never come over and we don't even get to see our grandchild and I know that hurts her immensely but she never wants to talk about it how she was raised and grew up is move on push it down and get over it our closeness has slipped since the first time I was hospitalized and again the second time we were doing counciling but we can't afford it and there are not any close resources that offer free unless your appart of the churches that offer it

I know Churches mean well, but I can't help fearing their agendas. I'm no churchgoer!
