Any relationship requires the effort and consent of two people. Although you and your wife agreed mutually to marry, there are a lot of factors that go into the building of intimacy and love between a couple. Your wife seemed disinterested in sex from the beginning of your marriage. There could be various reasons for this- often women who are raised in strongly conservative families are taught to shun sex and their sexuality for a long time or till when they're married. Some women even after marriage have troubling embracing the idea of pleasure for themselves because they're told it's most...

Selfish husband sees only his side, never feels for me. I feel miserable and helpless!

My husband and I have been married a year and a half. Yet I feel he doesn't know or understand me. I feel my issues, feeling, etc, only matter to me. He only sees his side, never mine. If the problem I have doesn't affect him or make him feel uncomfortable then it's no problem. He only wants to...

I sense your pain and hurt in not having your husband understand you and it sounds like you do not feel he is bothered about you unless it does not bother him. You seem to find it difficult to have a meaningful relationship with him. You long for his commitment to you and to this relationship but his surface level efforts leave you feeling disappointed and helpless. One marries in the hope of building a future 'together' and it seems though as if your husband either isn't aware of your needs and expectations of this marriage or that he is not entirely committed to fulfilling his part in...

Emotionless, sexless marriage, no fatherly responsibilities taken

My husband does not take up any fatherly responsibilities. We are in an emotionless and sexless marriage.

Living with a spouse who does not care for your needs in the marriage is extremely difficult and not preferable. To top it, he expects you to take responsibility of the kids while he can choose to not contribute. This seems really unfair on you. What could be done in this situation is that you can address few thing about the issue at hand: What would you like to have from this relationship for you to be emotionally and physically happy in the marriage? What would it take for your husband to cater to that? What would it take for you to cater to that? What is causing for you...

No respect, trust, or intimacy in marriage

My husband does not respect or trust me. We do not have any communication or intimacy either.

One enters into marriage with dreams of hoping to start a new journey with their partner that is filled with love and happiness. For a happy and successful marriage, both partners need to be equally invested to work towards it. With the basic trust, respect, communication and intimacy not in place for a strong foundation, anything that is built upon it will turn out to be shaky. This is certainly not why someone enters into a marriage. I can imagine your pain and agony. For starters, what you could try is to explore the reasons behind these issues. Some of the common reasons why a...

Wife has distanced herself from me, blames me, insults me

My wife has become cold towards me. She blames me for everything, insults me and demoralizes me. We have not slept together for eight months. She does not want divorce but she wants to stay away from me.

Our marriage feels suffocating and we are unhappy. How do we survive through this situation?

One enters into marriage with dreams of hoping to start a new journey with their partner that is filled with love and happiness. For a happy and successful marriage, both partners need to be equally invested to work towards it.
