Husband did nothing for my birthday
I had a birthday recently and my husband hardly did anything to celebrate me. I guess I’m feeling bad about myself but mostly because we haven’t been doing well ever since we had our second baby a year ago. He is emotionally unavailable, doesn’t initiate sexual or emotional intimacy, and does not seem to even like talking to me or being around me. I guess I thought since things aren’t that great and I’ve told him what I need to feel loved and pursued, that he would go above and beyond to show me I’m special and loved. Instead I spent the day feeling sad and emotional. And not seen. I’m tired of feeling this way. Money is tight sometimes but there’s other ways you can show you care. He doesn’t try and that’s what makes me feel bad. Like if he wanted to he would.
I told him how I felt about my birthday and it seemed like he felt bad and he said he’ll make it up to me but I don’t believe him at all. I don’t trust that he cares about my feelings. With his lack of emotional availability I just feel alone and after my birthday I feel ready to give up.
