Husband just doesn’t seem to care
by Lydia
(Manchester )
My husband likes to play video games a lot. So much so that he has played all day long today, whilst I have looked after our 1 year old. I have asked if he could join in with a few activities and he said no.
I became upset this evening and tearful as he has barely spoke 5 words to me all day,yet I haven’t done any thing wrong. He asks me “why am I crying” yet proceeds to play his video game. I said “it doesn’t matter” because he hates it when I say to him I don’t feel loved or shown affection to by him, so I try not to ever mention it anymore. Some days he’s much more attentive and present but times like this are hard and lonely and I’m not sure what to do.

You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship. You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before. You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along. Thanks so much for helping us." Rita and Mark |
