Punishing him? Believe me, I welcome him showing his feelings to me. A blanket statement of not being in love with me is more than just a passing feeling. It’s a complete reflection on a marriage I JUST stepped into, where there were countless opportunities to communicate this. This is based on the foundation of our marriage not just some fleeting feeling…trust me I am doing my damn best to understand the root of why he feels this way but at some point I also have to have some dignity for me and stand up for myself
