Been married over 18 years and have a wife that is so into her work. This is a typical week/weekend.... If she's not talking about work or people at work, shes watching home improvement shows, medical shows or anything else on T.V. When I bring up something of different interest, she just looks as if you took her away from some dire emergency. Unreal !! Anyone else have a spouse like this that shows absolutely no interest in what the other mate is doing???? Frustrated in nowhere land.

She sounds pretty self centered. No offense. If she doesn't take an interest in you and what you are doing, why not get some friends that you have some things in common with. It really isn't ideal, but it could make you less frustrated and part of something. I was married to a guy like that.....and I got tired of being treated like I didn't matter.

My husband plays internet poker every free chance he has. The only time he does anything else, is when his buddies get him to go out for drinks. I have to nag at him to do anything around the house, and then most of the time, I end up doing it myself anyway, ALONE. The even crummier thing is, we've only been married 2 1/2 years. I am totally frustrated and lonely. (only 31 years old) I cannot imagine this is it.....the rest of my life. Ugh. I can see why people cheat.

OH boy,you have no idea.
my wife and i knew each other for 16 years we have been married 4 of those years after i bought her home to the US from the UK,i`mm a uk citizen and she`s american,we applied for immigration and lost the paperwork in a house fire a;ong with everything else,she started to work three jobs to pay the bills while i re-built,all i heard about was what she had done,how her tip`s were crap etc,i was diagnosed with MS back in the uk where i went for a hip opperation and when i got back she left me claiming i didnt love her,respect,trust or care for her.
She said that now she can walk again after being told in the UK she`d never walk again that she can do things now and doesnt want to be held back by me,how bloody nice for her.I now have to leave the country and go back to the UK alone leaving my ex wife,my dog my daughter who is expecting a baby and all my friends just cause of her.

I make this mistake sometimes when I am so tired after working many hours that all I want to go home and maybe watch some stupid TV shows to unwind my head before I go to bed. This way I do neglect my fiance sometimes but I try to remind myself that I am not by myself anymore and I have to consider other person's feelings.
Did you let her do this for so long that it got out of hand? You need to sit her down and talk about it and lay down some boundaries. If not, you might need consider a temporary separation.

Yes I HAD a spouse like that. My friends still HAVE spouses like that. This is just one more form of addiction, not as easily identifyable as porn sites, Internet chat or Freecell, but the fact is, one partner is left high and dry.
You can confront her, or beg her or lecture her but the bottom line is you have only one question to ask: "How long am I willing to live like this?" When you answer that, you will be in control of.. YOU and your feelings.

No, you two need to get away and reconnect something bought you two together in the beginning. Try a romantic dinner. Or draw a nice candle light bubble bath.
