My Husband

April 9, 2013 7:49pm CST
I have to say that I love my husband more than anything but here lately he has been a little frustrated and down so we talked and there are just some things we need to work on together we admitted it to each other but now I find a way to entertain myself when he is not here which he is hardly ever here! Always working and even when he comes home he sleeps in a seperate room !! Except for this weekend he let me sleep with him But I get so tired of being alone even when I eat dinner that I cook for him every night I eat alone and cry sometimes! I know he is tired but what can I do? I just what things to be normal again?

Give it a little more time. Then talk about things again. Not being able to live a normal married life can take its toll in the end.

Thank you I just fell so alone lately looking out the window eating my dinner all alone and the only time we eat together is when his brother or company is here!! It makes me cry and I am old now and I feel so stupid when I do that? But Thanks and hope you are having a good day!! We have been together since 2003!!

I have been married for 19 years. And all those years, my husband finds more time with his friends than me. I am done with all the crying. If that is what he wants to do, I just let him be. But he should not blame me if something bad happens. I am too tired to argue.

Why is he working so much? Does he work close where you could take dinner down to him and share it? With Summer coming dinners are going to be easier to transport. I wouldn't sleep In a separate room. Maybe some nights but not every night. Can you make a date night on the week-ends where you spend time together? Something has to give. His hours, finding a way to visit on the job, and some time for the two of you to be together.

Could you set up a event like a barbecue or something? Have some time with him and talk to him about the sleeping in separate rooms. See why this is happening, tell him you don't like it and see if he will change it to make you happy.

His job is not close at all and he is just that way and always has been a workaholic and won't slow down until he gets home and even then sometimes not!! If the weather is nice he will find something to do outside or in the garage and I don;t mind that but the sleeping in another room I am beginning to not like!!

i know having a separate room could be very comfortable for both of you, but i just think it decreases the intimacy, at least when you have the same room, you could have a little chat before he goes to sleep, (well i might be wrong too, maybe i'm still young to think that having a separate room is quit a big deal) anyway, all i can say is try to understand your husband its not that easy to provide for the whole family, besides so what if you found something to entertain yourself when he's not around. as long as you love him and your always thinking of him, then i dont think its a big deal. try giving him a massage everyday after work, and if you feel like using sexy dress i think it will be better. make massaging him a routine so he will always ask for it. Goodluck

He says he can not sleep with me because I move around too much he he he l.o.l. I said what you mean? He said you move around like one of those chickens in the Mexican restaraunt on the roaster he he he l.o.l. But I told him I remember one night you told me to be still and you were the one moving around!! And told me if you can't sleep go in the other room But I was just trying to get comfortable!! He was moving more than me. But thanks for the advice I will try this maybe it will work? I will let you know. Thanks again and have a good night

I'm confused, why does he sleep in a separate room? I'm sure that you do get tired of being alone. I hope that he will work harder to improve your marriage. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I hope that he listened and will work on what you both talked about.

He said because I move around too much when I sleep but I have always done that and I hope things will change soon. Thanks and hope you are having a great day.

I too hope things will change soon. It sounds odd that he wants to sleep separate and he says it's because you move around too much but you have always done that. I hope that he is being honest with you and isn't hiding anything.

As you know, I know Mexican men real well. All seem to go through stages like that. My dad did for 6 months with my mom here. Youll see he will get through this and all will get back to normal for you guys.

He finally got home and I have to admit I am not the best cook so I had cooked tacos and beans last night and he was home late and he said he would help me fix it today so he did and I told him I will be outside and he asked me if i was hungry and I said yes and I told him I would do it because I know you work hard and he said no I got this and I asked him if he wanted to eat outside with me he said no I want to be here inside watching t.v. of course the Spanish soccer game!!! S o i sat outside with my plate and my drink wasn't a coca cola either!! You know what I mean? And he came outside with me and said I don't want you outside for long!1 I said why? He said are you crazy? I said yes!!! l.o.l. I said I am not scared of ugs!! He said I am talking about people you need to come in! I said I ain't scared of them either!!! l.o.l.

it was so sad that yet you have a husband it seems that you live alone because you sleep and eat alone and he is always tired of his job.. why not try to convince your husband to have a vacation and you two go somewhere where you can both relax and have fun.. forget all about work and just chill.. maybe both of you need to unwind..

If you don't see change on the horizon in the near future it is better that you accept this situation and make the best of it. What is important is that you both love each other and that should make matters easy for you.

Well, I find it strange that you and your husband sleep in separate rooms. This leaves me very astonished! Why is that? There is something wrong within your couple? If the answer is YES, you must tell you that I am very sorry for you. I would very much like you two (you and your husband) were a very close-knit family. But I believe that if there are problems, they can certainly be solved. This is my wish. You know I love you very much!

He won't sleep with me because I move around too much but I heave to get comfortable before I actually sleep, I just don't understand when he gets home from work he goes straight to the back room and wants me to bring his dinner and coffee in there which I don't mind but the door is shut because he doesn't want the cats in there, Well I will have like 3 plates in my hands after cooking and I have to try and find a way to open the d... door!!! He used to stay in the living room and eat with me and watch t.v. with me but not anymore that was when my daughter was here but she has been gone since last Summer so that is why I am confused here? He is not a morning person at all and I work at home now because of that and we can not be in the same car for a long period of time!I need to start my job here at 7 a.m. just as if I were at the office but lately I can't seem to get up until later and I know if I were to get up earlier it would pay off for me!! But I try. Then when I get up I have to do so many things for him, make his coffee, make his lunch, take the car out of the garage run to the store put gas in this and that I don't mind but you have to think when I am calling from home the people I call are in different states and they are on a different time zone than me and the later it gets the harder it gets. I am scared of what might happen between us and I am going to be left here alone!!!
