How do you know you have done all you can? Married 1 1/2 years (2nd marriage) to a man who is totally selfish and emotionally unavailable. We went to counseling for 6 months until he could no longer fit it in his schedule. A little more history here: We chose to marry when I found out I was pregnant. We had just recently gotten back together after being broke up for 3 months. So bad situation to begin with. I often feel second to everything. We spend hardly any time together and it is always me with the 4 children (3 from previous marriage),little to no help from him. He has for the most part shut me down when I try to communicate my needs to him. Even though when we were broke up he swore he wanted to change and he understood what I needed. Now he resents me for still needing these common things out of a marriage, time, consideration, respect, attention, compliments once in a while. I have never been jealous or had a low self esteem until I met and experienced him. I feel so stuck.
