I think society tends to make men carry the burdens of providing for the family. They feel if the family doesn't look good then neither do they. They need to know that you believe your life is a good one because he works hard. That you are satisfied sexually because he loves well and that he is a good friend and a decent man.
Men have fragile egos. In all that you say and all that you do he needs to know that the above is true. I think that men need shelter from the world. That they depend upon their women to be their refuge, their buffer against the outside world. You need to be the arms he runs to when all else is wrong.
He has so many things he must be strong for. Hopefully he can be vulnerable to you and find that he is safe in doing so. Men need one place that they can let down their guard and that should be in the arms of their woman.

Try to revert back and remember why you fell in love in the first place. Do you have the same interests and desires? Do you have mutual goals for yourselves as a couple? If you love him, and it seems that you do, start writing him small love notes and tape a penny at the end of one of them and write: "A penny for your thoughts..." Maybe he's stressed out about his job and doesn't want to bother you with it. Ask him how his day went, show more interest in his routine. Hopefully he should return the favors, and you will both be satisfied emotionally.

Spend time with him doing things that he likes to do like if he likes to go fishing go with him or if he likes to watch sports watch them with him. Ask him how his day goes when you see him after work.... Tell him you love him and do little things to show him how much you do.... Respect and honor go along way with a man too!

just keep your mouth shut and he should be emotionally set as far as his marriage is concerned
