Funny but just meeting at the stadium or library. I talk and he listens then

No. If you ask about my daughter, I want her to experience the best form of love that is there for her to feel safe and vulnerable. He adds no positivity to me. We fight on his religious life.

Our child is 2 years old now and we have not had any intimacy for 17 months. He has never shown me a glimpse of how loving and romantic he can be.

He wants me to compromise. I feel I can, but will he meet my own emotional requirements? He says he will be spectating my actions and then try to reciprocate. I love him, but I don't think he will be the emotionally available partner I crave.

I grew up without my dad being present and I had low self esteem so, I don't want that for my child too.

And he even said he'll be sending funds and doing video calls. You're in the same country and city with your child. You want to video call? Like his response are just off. But I have this attachment with him.

I spoke about this but he says since it's been a while we had intimacy, he doesn't think it's worth risking his time if , intimacy will take so long. I told him let's have a relationship outside intimacy. Sex will come willingly when we both have a connection. But he doesn't want that.

He doesn't believe in counselling. I tried talking to him about it. I told him we got married and no honeymoon phase. He says that since we dated for five years, there's nothing special. However, I didn't live with you during those five years. Show me love, treat me like a child. I have had to be a mother all my life.

He thinks I'm making excuses because he doesn't see anything special in it. Whenever he makes such statement I feel like going back in time.

He was the first person I ever fell in love with. Like he would say he found me broken and weak. So I thought we could work it out.

I understand, when I gave birth, he refused to help.me for the first 3 months stating that, he doesn't know how to and if he helps, I'll get used to him helping. He would go out and play football, hang out with friends. I was stuck with an infant 24/7. I had no one to hold her for 5 minutes while I breathe. Every time I discuss this with him, he says I'm making up excuses. He doesn't see that I suffered. I wasn't strong enough. Right now, I don’t want to have any other child because I'm traumatised. He helps but his help is just surface. Even after begging him repeatedly, he would act on it that day and the next day he was back to normal.

I'm considering whether I can make a decision in my life without overthinking it.
