^ The good thing I see from what you are saying is that it happens every few years, not more often. What does he tell you when you tell him how it makes you feel? I know men and women communicate differently but there has to be some sort of communication. You guys have been together for 23 years so you are/were obviously doing something right. We're together 6, married 3, no kids. I think today you should tell him that you want to do something together this weekend, just the two of you, to spend some time together, and see what he says. Hopefully he'll be up for it and then you guys can go somewhere and have some quality time. Have you thought of doing MC on your own? Just know that you are not alone. I know what it's like to feel like you are invisible at home. Do the kids pick up on it?
