Jak, It sounds like it was reality-check time for your H. If you are having trouble hanging in there with the M, then it's better that he is forewarned.
I hope this serves as a wake-up call for him. He needs to make a commitment to truly being a H, rather than one you're supposed to tolerate. You deserve to feel connected in this marriage.
Marriage is about connection, and he and I and all men with marital problems need to understand that and work very hard at it. My guess is that men with stable, happy marriages have figured this out, somewhere along the way. If a man is not willing to work on connection, than he shouldn't be married.
