How Come My Husband Isn’t Affectionate Anymore? Help

Posted on

Our s00x life is also nonexistent.

I’m so confused… my husband isn’t affectionate towards me anymore… he cares for me like he cares for his family, but does not love me… He is always happy when he goes out with his friends, but when he goes out with me he always says “lets go home,”

“I’m tired” or keeps watching the time and I never see a single genuine smile at me. At night, he always wakes up for his friends or for his work for ungodly hours, but when he is free he always sleeps late. He doesn’t want to just sit and talk to me, or cuddle with me and sleep together.

Our s00x life is also nonexistent. Why isn’t my husband affectionate? I don’t know whether its true or not, but I think he doesn’t love me. I don’t know what I did wrong. How can I make it right because I want this marriage to work? I love him and I cant live without him” –Theresa

Dear Theresa,

Thank you for opening up about your feelings. It’s tough when the affection in a marriage starts to fade, and it’s natural to feel confused and hurt.

First, try to understand that changes in affection don’t always mean the love is gone. Life stresses, health issues, work pressures, or even emotional struggles can affect how your husband expresses love. Sometimes men show affection differently than women, and it may not always be obvious.

Here are a few steps you might consider:

  1. Communicate openly and calmly. Share how you feel without blaming. Use “I” statements like, “I feel lonely when we don’t share affection.”

  2. Look for underlying issues. Is he stressed, depressed, or facing challenges he hasn’t shared? Try to create a safe space for him to open up.

  3. Reignite connection. Suggest doing activities you both enjoy to rebuild emotional intimacy.

  4. Seek professional help. Sometimes, couples counseling can provide tools and understanding for both partners.

Remember, you deserve to feel loved and valued. Sometimes a little patience and understanding can open doors to renewed closeness.

Stay strong, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support.
