I don't think it is that he's afraid of missing anything as it is just the poing of not talking to me.
There are two assumptions you make there:
1. he isnt afraid of "missing anything [in the show he's watching] by talking to you in the middle of it
2. he WANTS to "not talk to you".
That is very different from what you said a little lower, about, "I think in the beginning of our M, he didn't know what to say, and instead of politely telling me that, he just stared at the TV."
i think that is a reasonable assumption to make..and also not really a negative one.
in contrast, I think that assuming "he does not WANT to talk to you [at all]" is a very negative one to make.
You said that you have "I have talked to him about it since the first month of marriage. " What I THINK you mean by that, is that you have complained to him about it. that's not the same as talking _with_ him about it. (admittedly, if he doesnt cooperate, its rather difficult, but...) It seems to me that you havent done much of the "with" part.
Otherwise, instead of saying, "I THINK that..." you would have been able to say more , "he TOLD me that..."
Am I right?
