Back....again.

Marriages have rocky times; sometimes you don't feel like you love each other, or that the little things keep getting in the way. Marriages that can learn to cope with those times will be stronger and go the distance.

I agree. I guess I'm just not sure what to say in response. I told him that too. He said he didn't necessarily want a response it's just how he feels. I asked for an example and he couldn't give me one. He then said maybe he is just tired and exhausted and that I shouldn't even listen to him. I just told him I love him more than anything and he is my husband and to never question my love for him. He replied "ok." He was very affectionate during this conversation and told me he loved me too very sweetly by his actions for he rest of the day is what is bothering me. He walked around the house sulking and sad and depressed. I would give him the odd kiss and touch to brighten him but it didn't work. I left now and told him I love him and he replied the same and I left. I fell like he is holding something in and is too scared to tell me. I have him free reign and told him not to hold anything back and he said he wasn't. I don't know what to think?

Have you discussed marriage counseling recently? What's going on with his late-night coming and going? The last I saw, it sounded like he was doing some serious cake-eating.

No haven't brought up counseling. I don't know what my reason would be if he feels likes its a love issue. Marriage counsellor and bring you love? The late night issue has subsided a bit. He hasn't been out late in a while. He went for wings a few weeks ago and came home at a decent time. But I have another issue with that where he is leaving for the weekend to ref hockey and is going to be visiting with his buddy who just cheated on his wife and is now dating the girl. So he will be hanging out with them both. Which worries me.
