My husband got a new job 6 months ago. It's a high profile once in a lifetime chance. I have been very supportive of him (he had to go to school for 3 months and we were without his income for this time) and I am also very excited and happy for him. Anyway, ever since he took this job, he has been terrible to live with. I was always able to talk to him before (married a long time) but now whenever I say something about work - he says "Don't question me" and I have to walk around on eggshells to keep him from blowing up at me. It has gotten to the point that I don't even want to be in the same house or room with him. We have two teenagers. They notice a change too. He can't have a normal conversation anymore, it has to be about work. I feel like a piece of furniture in my own home. This has been going on for three months. We still are not where we want to be financially, but he is good at what he does and I know things will work out in this regard. Any advice?

Things got really bad at one point, and I threatened to leave, and he said go ahead. No feeling whatsoever. He doesn't hug or tease me like he used to. He says he hasn't changed. I am very low maintenance, I don't require alot, just some kind words from time to time.

Maybe his dream job has turned into his nightmare and he is having a difficult time with it or someone. However, he seems to have done a 180 with regards to your relationship and that seems like a bit extreme behavior over stress. Could there be another woman? If he continues to refuse to communicate, the prospect of getting him to go to counseling looks bleak. But I wouldn't stop trying to find out what is up. Give it your best shot and if you have to leave, you'll know when to do so.

my point of view is that he was using you to get ahead. now that he is. he sees you not his kind of a woman. and i bet he have eomeone else and he try to push you away. but don't you worry life is funny. just hope for the best for him and don't hate him either. once he notice you're gone for good he will regret it. its man like that who have a nice woman and blew it
good luck

He is under a huge amout of stress even tho it is what he wanted. Tell him in a nice way how his actions affect you and ask him how you can help. Good luck..Stay Strong..
