I’ve recently been blindsided by my husband’s sudden indifference to our marriage. Things have been so great, perfect almost. We’ve been together for 12 years. Now, he’d rather go out and party than stay home with me or even go out with me. It has led to huge fights in which I’ve asked him does he care or what? And he has answered I really don’t care anymore. I am beside myself. Is there any way to save my marriage when He is so indifferent and will not go to counseling? Please hellp. Thanks.
@Bianca: I do not ever wear sweats. I am presentable at all times. His friends seem to really like me and I am not embarrassing to take out. He has never done these things in the past and now that he has, it’s like he can’t get enough of going out and partying. He just left tonight. I said don’t you care what we have and he said: If I did would I be going out?" But just this morning we cuddled and he told me how much he loved me and appreciated me and that he would be nothing without me. I Don’t Understand. I’m torn apart.

Self respect is so important. You don’t deserve to be jerked around. Period. Pick up the pieces and move along. He is determining the course of things here, and it is up to you to accept his distance he wants between you. Stay in the marriage, by all means, but send him signals that you respect yourself. When he goes out to party (not in your control) do something you really enjoy. Let him come home to an empty house. Don’t get mad at him. Develop interests outside of him, as that is the reality you are facing. Loosen your grip on him, and stand on your feet. You will love yourself for it. I will pray.
start going out on your own. Reverse psychology
Sit down with him really talk. Don’t blame him for anything as that will make him mad and make matters worse. Start by telling him if he remembers something (like maybe an object..that related to something romantic and unique you guys had done a long time ago). Then tell him "We’ve always had something special, can’t we just forget everything that’s been bothering us recently and start again? I love you a lot and I can’t bear this distance from you. Is something wrong? Can I help in anyway? You are too important to me and lately I know something is bothering you, and I hurt over it because I dunno what to do. Please help me, help us…" or something like that. If the subject of him hanging out with his buddies come up show that you’re understanding of it..tell him you understand his need to hang out with his friends sometimes to relax a bit after tiring work days, and you got nothing against it. It’s just that you miss him and miss spending time with him.
Suggest going out one day..and do something youve both wanted to and never got a chance to!
You have got to try! But use a different and more understanding technique! Remember communication is the key, no matter what it is communicate it. Every negative should be served with 2 positives.
All the best!
IT CAN be saved but will take both of you. IF he truly does not care anymore…would you really want to say under those conditions? Are you religious…speak to your pastor or priest, go to a family counselor by yourself. Pray for a Godly solution.
Can you go with him when he goes out? Do you have children? Do you work? How are you in the bill department? Is he spending money the household cannot afford?
Sit him down and just be blunt…do you want a divorce? IF yes, file for it. Don’t waste time if he is not willing to work on a solution. The link below may offer some helpful insight.
God bless you with personal strength to get through this trying time
Obviously things weren’t as perfect as you thought–and you are old enough to know that there is no such thing as ‘perfect’ in this world. You may have been blindsided but something tells me something happened at some point to make your husband decide that he was going to move on emotionally–maybe he even tried to tell you but you weren’t ready to hear anything negative and didn’t pay attention. If no kids are involved I’d leave him for a while and let him figure out what it is he wants in life.
Put yourself in his shoes. If you werent spending time with him, and he started yelling at you, would you want to spend time with him? There’s another issue here. Is he looking to pick up other girls? Do his friends like you? Are you making yourself presentable and non-embarressing when you go out? You’ve tried changing him, and it did not work. If your still interested, try changing how you react to him. Don’t get mad, act loving and sweet. Look pretty (put make up on, and dont wear sweats around the house when he comes home). Make an effort to tell him you care about him, and do things he likes, and make him food he likes. If he doesnt care and you do, you in a way have to "date" him again. Flirt, send him love notes, and compliment him. In turn, if your marriage can be saved he’ll act in kind. It might take some time though. Men for the most part aren’t into interpersonal stuff. They are easily placated with food and sex and a little ego boost. I dont mean this as a put down to men, but men generally dont fret about things their friends say like women do.
It sounds like there must be more to the story. People don’t randomly stop caring after a perfect relationship for no reason. Did he drift away suddenly or was it gradual? There must be some sort of problem. Or he could be just bored…have you heard of the seven year itch? This could be the 12 year itch or a middle life crisis. He may just be feeling like his life is going no where..maybe he has a dead end or boring job?
I suggest doing something to spice your relationship and life up…maybe go on a trip?
I doubt after 12 years of marriage he really doesn’t care. He is obviously acting out because he is having some sort of issue. If you can find out that issue you will better be able to fix it. If you can’t I suggest a trip or maybe stop getting in fights and give him some space. Men need their space or their "man-cave". He might just need some time to sort through this issue he is going through. It may have nothing to do with you it might be his job etc.
Ask him in a calm way if he wants a divorce. And if he says yes ask him why. The main thing is u cant save a marriage if the other doesnc’t want it
Well talk to him about divorce, see where it goes from there. like his reaction. If he doesnt react, then hes not worth it. Neither is you puttin in the effort for the marriage and if he reacts like upset tell him what you want him to do or how you want to try to fix things. Good luck hun :/
My opinion is…:
Talk to him.. one on one.. and remember to talk and not argue… Be calm and tell him your opinion and also listen to him and try to find the conclusion. Talk. That’s all I can say…
