Maybe your problem is the opposite, you don't require enough of him so he basically goes about his life but doesn't really participate in your life as a couple or parent. You teach people how to treat you, you have taught him that he isn't particularly useful or necessary around the house. Perhaps you have done such a good job of convincing him that you don't need him that he figures you don't need him for anything at all. I know you have the very best of intentions in your efforts to take care of everything yourself but its sort of like giving a rich man your last dollar...to you that dollar is everything, he won't notice it because he has so much of it around. You see it as taking care of him and making his life easier, he doesn't notice because his life is so easy. Basically if you don't like the way you are being treated require more and don't tolerate less.
He probably couldn't make a list because man brains (such as they are) don't work that way.

Agreed--men aren't as good at expressing their feelings as women are, simply because they're told it's wrong for them to have them and/or express them. That's also a very high pressure situation for a man; if he answers wrongly, you're going to pissed. So he's freezing on the spot and saying something more neutral and "funny" to take the pressure off. Take it as a sign that he doesn't want to say the wrong thing and give you the wrong impression. I like the idea of giving him a few days to a week to come up with some reasons. That way he can think on his own, with no pressure. You'll probably be surprised by his response then. I know I always am. :)

String the cad up. How dare he not be articulate? He calls you cute. I gotta say, that's much better than thinking you're beautiful. Cute is a lot more. It implies that you are fun. Sort of a buddy. Like the girl back in high school that NEVER put out, but always had dates. .My wife went fishing for the first time, and caught one. She didn't look beautiful when she caught it, but she did look cute as heck. Face it, he's not gonna write poetry. But, I'll bet that he'd give you the last life preserver if the boat sank. In 40 years, beauty fades, but cute lasts for life.

I ask my husband the same question and he will never give a direct answer so I understand where you are coming from. All I know is that a lot of men do not like to share the feeling not even with their wives/spouse, so please don't take it personal when he soesn't give you a direst on why he loves you. You know he does or he wouldn't have married you in the first place.

Whoa! that question is a finished paradox of thoughts. maximum questions oftentimes precipitate a extremely simple answer or plan of action – yet that's a troublesome one. on the only hand you want to illustrate that you've moved on from petty jealousies by using installation more beneficial platonic relationships among a collection, who've historic previous, yet whose lives have grown critically in the advise time. the threat the following is that you won't be able to deny, notwithstanding small the prospect, you're chancing inviting a serpent into the backyard that ought to harm what you've equipped ought to an unlucky sequence of activities carry about ‘rekindling an previous love’. on the different hand you ought to be conservative, advise that the completed difficulty isn't an excellent theory, and play it secure – yet look petty, possessive and placing apart your better half because of lack of self assurance. I don’t imagine for a minute you ought to be ashamed about the way you sense. i imagine maximum typical human beings ought to sense that way. i ought to wager you'll want to be open about this with your husband (and in no way ashamed about it with him). i ought to ask him if he needs the contact – and if he needs an ongoing interplay then i imagine it must be his duty to attend to the multiparty relationship to each and each body’s pride. If he can't attempt this – then is it extremely an excellent theory?.

Men are not too good with these "pressure" questions. Maybe ask him the same thing; but give him a week to come up with 6 reasons. And give him the freedom to write his answers down, if that is more comfortable. Men aren't always comfortable with verbal communication--help him find a way to express why he loves you in a way that is comfortable to him.

Your subsequent question about a child reveals much into this question - you are dealing with a very difficult situation in your child - men don't do well if there is the hint of anything "wrong" - they are the stud, the man who makes the child, etc. etc. Of course, I think its all BS and ego ranting,but I think it does exist, and I think it causes problems such as yours - he could never have or father a "defective" child.
Ask him.

My husband is the same way! I've come to learn that "you're cute" means a lot of things in one little phrase, it means "you're beautiful, sweet, nice, funny, fun to be around and I just love you." My husband always groans when I ask him this question because men do think differently than woman. I know that I keep track of all the nice things he does for me and all of the things that make me mad and I remember word for word our last fight and all he remembers is how he feels. They really do love a bunch of little things about us they just keep track differently.

Men tend to freeze, most can't communicate with the opposite sex, unless they have the upper hand. Your husband knows he loves you. You're just expecting him to follow the same set of answers. The marriage counselor your attending will inform you. Watch and wait.

Sorry to sound so harsh, but.... IF this is the worst of your problems, you have a great life. Good grief, grow up and stop the silliness. Isn't it enough that he loves you? Now he has to tell you exactly why???? I see why you are at a councilor
