Dear Abby gives out advice to a woman who feels her husband doesn’t want to spend time with her and a parent who is at a financial crossroad.
I have been married for five years. My husband and I are both past middle age and have been married before . For much of our early marriage, my husband was ill. He required several surgeries and a lot of care. I never complained or felt burdened, yet the smallest ache or pain I have is, apparently, a “pain” for him.
He has called me things he promised never to say. He makes excuses for not wanting to do things together. He spends upwards of 12 hours a day outside and seems to want to avoid me. He defends his friends when they say disrespectful things about me, citing the fact that he “doesn’t want to lose old friends.” He believes that whatever is said by others — friends, family, etc. — is my problem and I should just accept it. We have seen a marriage counselor and it has not helped us.
