Married and lonely

I recently became a stay home mom who does not socialise and have any friends. My husband works non stop. When he’s home, he’s either sleeping, watching his movie, talking to friends over phone or meeting friends. Only time with me would be sleeping in same room. We would occasionally watch movie together when kids are asleep but he will be focused on it that he’d ignore me talking. Ive had to beg for his time. I am starting to feel very lonely. Ive told him abt it and still the same. What should i do? I am so lonely that sometimes i feel like chatting with some strangers online to overcome boredom.

Most men are like that. When they get married, they become complacent. Maybe he is not interested in communicating with you, talking about responsibilities, kids, finances, etc. Maybe he is just worried he would be over-stressed and cause you even more stress. Maybe he thinks, what else do you want? Let you be SAHM also want to make noise. I’m telling you, most men are wired that way. They think we are emotionless robots. You can try spice things up once a week, tell him in advance of your plans. Probably leave the kids with a trusted family member for a few hours while you go on a date. Have some sexy-time if you don’t wanna go out. Wear something nice, cook his favourite food or order in. Maybe go out for a pedicure together or a couple massage? Maybe he feels bored, unloved and is secretly yearning your attention but just don’t wanna show it. Instead he does the opposite by distancing himself. You can even plan for a secret getaway, or a staycation, tell him in advance you’d like him to free up a couple of days because you have a little surprise. No harm in being the “man” in the relationship once a while. Sending you lots of love and positivity for a healthy marriage! 💙❤️
