Assuming you've already tried talking to him about this, you should go on strike. Stop doing all the things he expects you to do. You should still take after your son, but let the care of your husband's needs slip a little and he will take notice. The very first time he says anything to you about then tell him why you are doing it. A marriage is supposed to be a partnership, not a dictatorship.

If he has a heart, he will deeply regret the time he should have spent with his child, but didn't. Sometimes, neglect or rejection can be as hard on a child's psyche as physical abuse. In fact, neglect is emotional abuse and it has lasting effects on children, in their formative stage that will last a lifetime. Children that do not have a father in the household will never know the difference, but children who do have a father in the household, but he neglects or ignores them will forever be scarred by the rejection that they do not understand. The child will always blame themselves because they think the parent knows all and does everything correctly. Therefore the child has to assume that there is something wrong with himself and suffer from a loss of self-esteem for a lifetime.
Your husband has to be told that he is being selfish and that if he doesn't want to be a family man, then he can leave and regret it for the rest of his life. What was his father-son relationship with his father? The issue of neglect and rejection and not acting like he is your partner in taking care of the family is not at all healthy for the family. I know a father who was like this and both of his children have moved away, don't keep in touch and don't want to have any children of their own. I can only imagine the pain they must carry around forever because of neglect.

Seems like there is a lack of comminication between you two, so try talking to him about how you feel. Also, look for avenues on how to be self-sufficient. You can now order groceries online, and you can take driving lessons and ask the instructor to pick you up from home. You can't rely on him for everything or else you're not going to be able to do anything independently.

the fact that i have tolerated it this much is amazing. i think u should find some one who will love u and appreciate u for what u do. and ur child needs a proper father figure not a man who comes and pays no attention to him. and i wouldnt be surprised if he is cheating on u thats y he is not paying attention to u. no one deserves to be treated this way. respect urslef and ur son and leave this guy.

he sounds just awfull if he loves you he sure has a funny way of showing it that is not what a relationship should be like i think you should move on you deserve more in life than just that you need to be kissed you need to be held and told that you are loved he is far to selfish to do that so he doesnt deserve even a minute more of your time
