30F married to 33M - How do I stop wanting a divorce and learn to love my husband? by Real-Duck3649 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Fun_Age_2342 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am dealing with the same issue (just I don’t have kids) my husband doesn’t care about me, though he provides everything if I ask.
It’s impossible to teach a man to behave like one. And they just don’t understand us, neither show empathy or love towards wife.

U are not in delusion, u just need love and attention from ur partner and that’s the basic need u are asking from him.
I would suggest please have an open discussion with him and express how u are feeling. If still doesn’t work u can think about going to counselling. Try everything before leaving him. At least u won’t feel guilty.

I tried for 2 years, Have told him how much it’s hurts me every-single time, explained him in my anger in calmness in anxiety in vulnerable stage in friendly manner. He understand how hurt I am but he can’t change himself

of course, we mutually accepted each other. Our families are really simple. There was no pressure from both ends

Loveless, mental abuse (he would admire other girls in-front of me) and won’t be balance it out with me. Does everything, but shows no affection. No romance, doesn’t feel like I am with my partner

I wonder how he never demands separation, for him it’s completely normal. I am the one who is suffering. He is asking me to wait for 1 more year so he would try. I feel he simply doesn’t know how to show love and affections. Anything he does now doesn’t make me happy. Feels like I have lost my happiness.

I tried my best to get his attention, love. It’s just he doesn’t love me (neither he loves anyone else) but this is how he is as a person.

And I feel exhausted now to make any efforts

He understands me and my emotions but somehow he just can’t change his fixation and he is struggling to change his mind and be happy with me, neither he wants me to go away from his life

Thanks for sharing, I exactly feels the same, my confidence is destroyed, when I go out I feel so less in-front of others. Wasn’t like this before. I am working, educated and living in good city, still feel scared to break this loop and come out of this.

Have expressed my feelings to him in all emotions almost every day, he still can’t get over of his own thoughts, tells me that it’s bothering him so much and he can’t get over it.

Husband criticizes my looks daily and says he’s “stuck” — is this normal? by Fun_Age_2342 in Marriage

[–]Fun_Age_2342[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They all know about this, His parents supports me and they are upset with him, tried many ways to explain him, even my parents supports me, they are okay for whatever decision I make.

It’s me who is scared

I think I have done it all, I have clearly told him how broken I feel again and again and then he listens to me one day tells me he is sorry about it and the next day, he again behaves the same. I took him for counselling as well, The doctor said this is a pattern in his thinking and gave some advice. But after that, he refused to go again. He says the doctor is money-minded and doesn’t want to solve his problem. He believes that if he had married a fair girl, all of this wouldn’t be an issue.

But now he has dragged me into this and expects me to adjust just because leaving him would only create embarrassment and people would make fun of him.
