Does anyone have stories of how a husband has turned around? I mean one who is verbally mean at times, non affectionate even when the wife has requested it many times, and selfish who actually changed? I pray for my h everyday for respect, love and attention. He hurts me time and time again even though he wants to "work on the marriage" He never was super affectionate and selfish. Some days I get depressed wishing he were different and feeling trapped in a bad marriage. The mlc and affair made things worse. H rarely apologizes for his behavior which makes it worse.
