Is it normal that my husband sleeps in another room every night?
It is currently March 28, since about the 2nd week of December (09) my husband of 4 years (in July) began watching television in a separate room located in the back of the house. Since that time, he falls asleep there and has not come to sleep with me, in our bedroom. He says he's doing homework (last semester of Air Conditioning degree), but I constantly catch him doing word finds. Other that not sleeping with me, he is distant like never before, not touching or hugging me like before. I make advances, flirt with him, tell him straight out that I need and want to be sexually intimate with him, but he does not respond. We have had sexual intimacy once a month (last was Feb 19). He is constantly at his mother's house (12 miles away). His mother also is constantly calling him to go over and do some petty job/repair for her. My husband is one of 5 siblings (one brother who lives 3 minutes away from his mother), yet my husband is the one who is always there to do the job, when I need many tasks completed here at home, his mother's jobs are obviously priority. I am fed up with this nonsense. He leaves home at about 5:30 am, goes to class at 8:30 am 'til 12 - 1 pm, then goes straight to his mother's house, coming home 'til 'bout 11 pm, and it's every day! He also has a niece (daughter of my husband's deceased sister) who has 3 children (7, 6, & 1) and EVERYONE helps her with her children. My husband says it's her business to go out and do what she wants, but I tell him that it's my business too since he's the one watching her children, while she's out having fun and while I'm home alone, without my man. His brother calls him and he jumps as high as the brother says, only because he's in the Naval service. Plus, he's constantly hiding where he's at and what he does. Is this normal or am I overreacting?
