laura22 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I've been married 13 years. 1 son who is 7. We both work. I'm the breadwinner. We have been troubled for a long time. My husband is a very cold sarcastic person at time who is also very critical. We have been through therapist after therapist. We are catholic and have tried to keep marriage going. However, I just can't tell if I am asking TOO much of a partner? He has improved. He makes dinner. Gets coffee for me in the am. Tries to be nice. But at the same time we rarely talk and he is always complaining about something. I find that I don't like spending time with him. We don't have sex often. For the longest time he just wanted me to give him a handjob. No reciprocation. Even though he's trying now.. I still don't want sex with him. Last night was good example of our issues. We had a church gala to go to. We both produced the video for the gala. After it played it went to a live auction. After the event people started coming up complimenting. He immediately started telling people that he couldn't believe how badly the auctioneer "dropped the ball" by not tapping into the info/emotion he heard in the video. Negatuve. Negative. Negative. I went to the event truly hoping that I could have a nice date night with him. But that ruined it for me. Am I asking too much? A girlfriend wanted some advice and didn't want to post on her home computer. So I posted this for her. Link to post Share on other sites
Charlene78 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 You're not asking too much in my opinion. It's possible that your husband has a depression or some other mental disorder that is fueling his negativity. But if you say that he has gone to therapist after therapist, then surely they must have figured that out right? What did the therapists conclude? Did they find out why he is always so negative and sarcastic? Link to post Share on other sites
