  • If you feel as though you are no longer a priority in your husbands life, then this is for you. It’s important that we define what type of neglect we are referring to. For this episode, we are talking about being neglected in the form of intimacy, lack of sex, or feeling like you are no longer a priority.
    If you are being neglected in the form of feeling unsafe, not provided for, not fed, or abused then you need to call the National Domestic Abuse Hotline at this phone number: 800-799-7233
    But if you are like one of the millions of women who feel as though your husband doesn’t love you anymore, and you’re desperately trying to get his attention in order to rebuild intimacy, passion and have a great marriage, then you need to take notes.

    I have shared my needs and he is considerate for about a month then goes back to the neglectful ways of not checking up on me for many hours yet he says how he hates it when I’m alone when I’m not working. His family is also unloving to each other and no emotion. It robs my security to my core that he is so mindless.

While he sits in his free time staring his phone . I’ve just come to a feeling of uselessness to him. I guess I choose to meet my own needs! I don’t think you should have to ask someone to love you when they said and say that they do, while they reduce you to feeling pathetic and like you are begging someone to want you.

      I'm so sorry you have to deal with these games. This is your heartbreak your rules. That's just my opinion. But I'm sure marriage helper would agree but the best thing you can do for yourself which works in general for anything in life not just marriage problems, is work on your pies. I believe they had a very cheap course on pies and you think you may understand the concept but it gets into depth. It can apply to anyone in anything in life especially marriage. I've been through this and it really sucks and people can't have their cake and eat it too. That's just my opinion. You will feel so much more respect for yourself and he will also notice. Best wishes to you!

    Okay but what if you tell them the need and they just refuse to do it? Either say they will but never do. Or tell you their parents never did that to make you feel like your needs are unreasonable and they have a good reason for not doing what you ask. Flowers and date nights? That sounds like a fairy tale. I could beg for that all day long and never get it. I work a 10-hour day and then ask him to feed my kids so I can go see my mother in the hospital and he won’t even do it.

    Thank you so much for putting this into words. As a husband who has given up a lot for his family's future (not a blind workaholic) its good for women to understand that as men we want to meet their needs but are human and limited. If I've put in multiple 12-14hr days between work and a home reno when she didnt want to join in, I just need a chamce to rest so I can be the best version of myself for her. Its not because we don't want to connect, it's because as men we have different needs in order to connect in a healthy state of mind and body. We're still learning and growing.

I say what I need and he kisses me son the cheek and leaves anyway … his needs met would mean him leaving and that’s and that’s up to him .

    I know exactly how it feels. Before we separated, I spent the better part of last few years dealing with my husbands work and constant travel (and how easy it became for him to leave). He never expressed or said a word to me about his feelings-hence why were where we are now. And no I wasn’t meeting his needs because I became hurt and rude and offensive. And no I didn’t communicate my needs-I told him what he wasn’t doing right all the time. Him leaving didn’t tell me anything specific, he’s not still said a word about real specifics. I have taken this opportunity to dive deeply into myself to learn what I didn’t do right and to change. It’s not easy and I’ll say it again-it is unfair that when a man lacks the ability to tell you how he feels and shoves his own feelings down until he explodes-it will always be our job as women to set the tone because we’re far more capable of understanding our feelings and dealing with them. I hate it. And Kimberly is always on the mark with these things, especially for those of us who deal with anxiety and depression long before marriage crisis.

This is why more men won't go to marriage counseling, we're guillty as soon as we walk into the mc office, when the wife's out cheating. It's always the man's fault.
