Quote: From past experience I have discovered that my husband will withhold intimacy and withdraw into some type of depression when he feels I am spending too much time outside of our home. He does everything that needs to be done around the house, without even giving me an opportunity to do my share and treats me like sh#t in the meantime. For example, when he knows that I am working or tied up with the children at sport he will do everything around the house and then resent me for not doing it. As I work fulltime and do have a lot of community/sport based commitments (which he would normally attend or help with) this gives him plenty of opportunity for this behaviour when he feels the need. I agree that it is an excuse not to have to address my intimacy needs and I think although it is subconscious behaviour that he finds it more satisfying to be pi##ed off at me and not have to be intimate.
Ok, now I've discovered that not only is my H SolidMech's wife's identical twin, but NelJ's H twin as well!!
