My wife doesn't feel supported by me but won't tell me how, she works alot and I work as much as I can I work full time. She works 2 jobs she isn't talking g about money I try to be there for her anyway I can and have shown that I would drop anything to be there for her. I don't feel supported by her and have expressed this that I need some emotional support and affection she is distant she told me to give her space and she would come to me so I've been doing g that letting her have her time but she never comes to me. This is aggravating my ocd thoughts and having a toll o. My depression and anxiety as well. I told her she needs to tell me cause I can't read he mind. I. Stuck and don't know of what to do.

Would it help to schedule a time to actually talk? Say you’re trying to respect where she’s coming from, and not spring emotional stuff on her when she’s busy, but if you reserve a time maybe you can both come to that ‘meeting’ in a calmer state? Or maybe write a letter for her to read in her own time?

I don’t know if any of that would help, I mostly just wanted to reply and let you know someone’s listening.

I wasn't sure how to reply to this post, but I'm glad you were. Kind words, and thoughtful advice.

Thank you, that’s lovely of you to say. I was really worried about how to reply, and whether I’d actually be of any use, so I really appreciate your kindness.

Thanks for reaching out it helps to know I'm not alone

Make a time to go for a walk together. Walking and talking help my wife & me solve problems & hash things out. Plus, you can end the walk at a pizza place or ice cream parlor 😀
