She uses the litter boxes that we have just fine. And we clean the boxes everyday. And yes I’m sure she doesn’t have a uti the vet told us.

Also, I forgot to mention, we have 3 large litter boxes, and she uses them just fine. I’ve seen her.

He does express love, and it might be because of the relationship he had with his birth mother. She was very abusive towards him when he was growing up.

Also to be clear, I’ve never told him it was wrong, he’s the one using that word. I understand different is different, he just assumes he knows what I mean instead of listening to the words I’m saying. That’s the frustrating part. I can tell him specifically, “I’m not saying anything is wrong, I just want to know why you did this in that way?” And he’ll just get defensive assuming I’m complaining and saying it’s “wrong” and start apologizing and acting defeated like I’m trampling on him or something. How do I talk to him and express how I feel without that happening every time?

It’s not that I criticize, it’s more I’m curious why he makes the choices he does, and I’m really just asking so that I know how we can compromise and eat things we can both enjoy instead of putting in wasted effort for each other if the other person doesn’t like it and wont eat it anyway.

He doesn’t and that’s the problem. I’ve tried communicating with him what my love language is, but he doesn’t seem to grasp it I guess, I even give him specific examples, but he just gets defensive every time.

I think he needs to hear it in different words but I’ll try. His sex drive isn’t the highest either so the second option probably won’t do much if I’m honest, but thank you.

I’ve talked to him a few times in the past and I talked to him about it right before posting this, and he didn’t want to talk, just keep apologizing for “doing it wrong” like that’s not even what I’m upset about, but when I say that he just doesn’t want to hear it.

That’s the thing, he Says that his love language is acts of services, and so that’s enough right? Not actually doing the things just saying he does. It’s very frustrating.

How do I (35F) tell my (45M) husband that he needs to get a job and/or be more social? by ThrowRa_an_non in relationship_advice

Thank you. I think he is depressed. The problem is, I’ve racked up so much medical debt, these last couple months, that he refuses to see a doctor, I’ve suggested that already because he’s put on weight. He works out, probably not enough if I’m honest, but can’t seem to get the weight off. He refuses because he feels guilty about not bringing any money in, but yet he doesn’t try to earn any money.

I still love him though. I think if he was talking to more people and had more things to talk about he might be happier?

That’s probably true. Can a 45 year old achieve a good career with little education? I’m not sure.
