Once they are married, many men feel they have "finished the job" which was to acquire a wife. After that, they see no reason to keep putting in the emotional energy needed to maintain the relationship.
Women on the other hand, hope for and expect an ongoing experience of love and support from their husbands. For women, marriage is the beginning of a long journey of togetherness.
You can see why problems arise, with such different expectations! You need to find a way to discuss this with your husband in a way that does not make him feel inadequate or under pressure. This can be very difficult! But don't just let things slide, if you are feeling undervalued.

When me and my ex-h were dating we had fun. As soon as the honeymoon was over, we both changed. I don't know why but I felt almost obligated to fall into this.. "role". It was like role playing for both of us. There's expectations with marriages - like you're supposed to change and be more like.. something else. It happens to both men and women.
But my ex did the same thing yours is doing, and I left him. After 7 years and trying and trying and trying I got fed up and left.

They are usually the same person.Most women see them as the man they WANT them to be NOT as they truly are.After the honeymoon and he doesnt magically change or fall in line with their fantasies, they think the guy has changed.Not so usually.You want him to change.Ok.In what ways are you willing to change for him?You cant say youre a 100% perfect angel and he is the ONLY ONE who needs to change and cooperate dear.Lets be fair.

You don't have that much of a problem if you marry a man instead of a boy. That's why it's better to wait until they get to age 30.

Because when the woman says "I DO" at the wedding, it is usually the last time she says that the rest of her life. Meaning if you would actually do the do's and please your husband once in a while, he might actually be the guy whom you married.

Because most of us hang in there for the sake of ..........i don;t know.....parents? children? what would others say? being afraid of loneliness. It kills my husband when i ignore him and sleep in my children's room.You have to know what bothers him the most and try to nail him with that.It works for me.
