There seem to have thorns in your relationship. Must find a way to get rid of the roots for these thorns in order to make your relationship better.
What does he like to do? His hobby? How about taking a liking to his interest? In my case, my hubby loves photography but I used to hate this hobby of his because he spent time away from the kids, spent hours editing the photos, etc. I felt we're being ignored. But when I decided to give it a chance to demonstrate some liking in his hobby, he was so happy (like I'm supporting his hobby) and his attitude towards me and the kids changes alot! When we want to talk about other matters, it was also more easily for me to broach.
