The larger issue is that H spends all of his time and energy on people outside of our marriage so he can keep up the image of the good son, the good friend, the good worker...and there's nothing left for us. I mean nothing. I want more from a partner. Do I need it? No. I love myself, I'm happy by myself, but the person/people I choose to spend my life with will be someone who is an equal in the relationship. Someone I take from as I give to them. I get very little from H right now.
Sounds like my H. And my Love Language is Quality Time.My H has been trying lately thou.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when, you can only decide how you're going to live now. ~Joan Baez
