Okay well heres the basics. were young. were married, married under my husbands religion. not legally to the state though. i have been with him for 2 years and the first year i couldnt believe how happy i was! he was perfect. i could never think of anyone else. i was so in love and i still am so very in love and wanting that person to come back.
may of last year he lost his job. he fractured his spine at work. still deciding for surgery or not. so it not that he doesnt do anything. hes always up to fix my car if it needs to, he still works out at the gym, he went to school full time. he did stuff. but since its happened, our relationship has just gone downhill with it....i dont know if its cause we see each other to much now or what ?...but its been bad the past few months and really bad right now.
we went to egypt not long ago to visit his parents and it didnt go well, i cant speak arabic and he just went out with his friends and i got stuck at the house with a family i couldnt speak with...he left me there cause we were fighting (the real cause of the fight i still have no idea) but what made it worse was me trying to talk to him about it....hes not a huge fan of communicating about our relationship if were in a rocky spot he says its "drama" typical male i guess?
but lately we dont talk. he tells me he will move out as soon as he has money....and i keep telling him im dying for his love and miss him terribly and dont know where the heck we went wrong, but i get NOTHING from him....im straight outta ideas so im coming here. i need some major advice cause i love this man with all my heart and really really want to "really" marry him one day. the normal way....could he just be bummed form not working or did i do something wrong? if something bugs him ive always tryed to stop and always tryed to be perfect for him and work things through but somehow....this is what i get stuck with.
hes a difficult man! now tell me please, HOW DO I GET MY HUSBAND BACK ?!
Should i stay?....or Go ?

Report AbuseYou've done nothing wrong. But he is disappointed in himself and cannot admit it.. and doesn't want to be faced with it. The problem is, he has no one to blame for all of this, so he is chooses you. He knows it's not your fault he lost his job or had an injury, but he needs to vent his frustration somewhere and to someone.... and the only person is you. You are the target. He knows you love him dearly. Now, be quiet about that love. Go about your every day life as best as you can without making any noise. He needs to hear your silence now. That's exactly what he needs to hear. He needs to hear what life is like without your support.

Report AbuseI AM JUST RECENTLY SEPARATED FROM MY HUSBAND OF 16 YEARS AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF ANY RELATIONSHIP IS COMMUNICATION. HAVE YOU CONSIDERED COUNSELING? IF HE WONT GO THEN YOU SHOULD. IT WILL HELP YOU BOTH IN THE LONG RUN. MY HUSBAND AND I JUST GREW APART. WE WERE TOGETHER SINCE I WAS 17 AND JUST GREW TO BE DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT GOALS IN LIFE. WE ARE STILL ABLE TO TALK BUT IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. I HOPE THAT EVERYTHING GOES WELL FOR YOU. THE FIRST 5 YEARS ARE THE HARDEST AND ESPECIALLY IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES YOU ARE FACING. HE PROBABLY FEELS INADEQUATE AS A MAN AND A PROVIDER.

Report AbuseWow, if this is what you want - even after you've realized this is who he really is... I guess your in for an even more miserable exit - when he walks out.
When you love someone, like you say you love him, it shouldn't hurt so much. Love does not feel like what your feeling. Sure no relationship is without it's problem but he seems to have simply grown apart from you. At whatever point, whatever argument, whatever day, time, hour, minute... doesn't matter. You need to stop focusing on what you had and move on.
Stop fighting to work on something that's no longer there.

Report AbuseI will say this ma'am...
I dont know from experience, but I can only try to share some of the knowledge and wisdom that I have at my young age. I really dont know the FULL extent of the relationship that you have with your spouse, but I can say that if you two are in two different religions then there will be problems. I can honestly just say pray and fast about the situation. Some things only happen through prayer and fasting. Begin to read your Bible and ask God what is it He wants you to about the situation. Also, believe that through God ANYTHING is possible. I will be praying for you ma'am and I really hope it works out!
