I think there was more effort in the earlier years. Plus it didn't matter as much before kids. But over the years, it's gotten harder. I had cancer, we had 2 little ones, jobs got stressful. That's why so many marriages run into trouble around year 8,9,10. That's when the going gets tough.
I'll say that since we had that little chat yesterday, things seem to have improved. I don't feel so angry and he has let up a little bit. I went to bed asking the universe for help and woke up feeling we needed to talk. And it helped a lot.

Love means not giving up on someone even if they've given up on you.
