My husband and I rarely talk (even on lengthy roadtrips). When I mentioned recently that he speaks very poorly to me (calls me bit**) and about me (falsely accuses me of being bipolar) in front of our children, he bragged that he rarely talks to me at all. In turn, I suggested that I find it peculiar that he rarely talks to me, but he still wants me to be receptive to his advances in the bedroom (the only place he shows the least bit interest in me).
We have tried counseling and one marriage retreat, but these seem to only work as temporary bandaids to all the hurt and resentment. Every time I start to feel secure enough to put my wedding bands back on (he's left a number of times & I refuse to be made a mockery of by putting on the bands, taking them off, putting them on...), he openly disregards my wishes (blowing off family picnics because he drank too much with the guys hours beforehand). The financial changes of a divorce scare me, for I know I'd have to sell my home. Advice?
