  • You can't change people. Change has to come from within themselves.

    Ultimately, when you get rid of all the emotional clutter it comes down to two choices: Stay, knowing that your partner will not change unless he/she desires to and you can live with that, or, leave to find a new life for yourself.

  • Exactly like Brawnwyn says. You absolutely can't change people and her two options are all you got.

  • None of us is perfect. Husbands are much less likely to recognize and point out flaws in their wives than the other way around. My experience has been that the only person in whom I have any hope of affecting change is myself, and there is plenty of room for improvement there. What I have also learned is that when I concentrate on myself and my own shortcomings, my husband's don't look nearly so bad, and I have also noticed that when I begin to work on myself, he begins to do more of the same on himself. It has been a win/win in our marriage, and after 47 years, it's still getting better and better!

  • I agree with Brawnwyn, and if you're the same anon who's posted about her DH never being affectionate & ignoring her by playing video games all night, then I think you already know what you need to do.

  • YOU go to counseling and sort how you feel about this and wha you really want to do. Every marriage goes through lumps and bumps. Some can make it through to better times and some can not. But you need to talk to someone and sort out whether you are maybe demanding and not giving, not being responsive yourself or if it is all on him (It rarely is all on one side)
    If you are talking physical attention maybe he is overly stressed, maybe he is in need of a physical check up.

    My advice is to not jump to conclusions.
