mum2three, it looks like you are going through a normal cycle in your relationship. One day it feels better, then next day you feel that it is not going well at all. Why do you feel taken advantage in your marriage? Are you over functioning? This is could be just as simple as pulling back a little and let him handle certain things. Why don’t you go out sometimes? Have you tried to plan for dinner, just for the two of you?

He doesn’t care because he thinks that you are always going to be there. You need to become a little bit more mysterious and unpredictable. I know it might be hard when you have kids, but maybe you can think of something to stimulate his curiosity towards you.

I know what you mean by missing hugs and caring. I wander if this shows in your attitude. Can you start thinking about yourself as a present or a gift for your husband, and not the other way around? Let him miss the caring and hugs from you. Sometimes you only need to imagine that you are the biggest gift and he wants for himself, and it will change your vibe. When you wake up in the morning, try to think about yourself in these terms and see if you start feeling better.
