[QUOTE="1905, post: 169852, member: 2668"] Janet, Try killing him with kindness. Tell him how thankful you are for him, how much you appreciate all he does after he gets home, let him know he's a wonderful husband and father. From your earlier post, it seems like that's what he needs to hear. It doesn't seem like he's going to budge on the 2 weekends for fishing topic, so let him know that that's great and you hope he enjoys himself. Tell him that you understand his need for fishing, but you also have a need for companionship from him. You need to recharge your batteries and you do that by spending time with him. You love him and you want to get back some of the way you were earlier in the relatioship. You could go have a picnic, anything that is private and away from everyone. Go out to dinner, nothing expensive. on the other hand, husband and I both work-for me not as much in the summer- but we spend maybe 10 minutes a day together. Frankly, that's fine with me- I love him to death, we're here in the house together- but he's doing his thing(on the computer-World of Warcraft-all day and night)- and I'm doing mine in peace! If all else fails, get on a bus or train, come to NJ- we'll have fun at the beach- nobody will go with me-you can stay here.-Alyssa [/QUOTE]
