My husband ignores me
My husband does not pay any attention to me. Yes I know he works hard. Yes he provides. This has been going on for years. My husband is always on his phone playing games, he doesn't look up at all. The TV comes on when he walks in and never turns off. He don't look at it mind you, he is looking at his phone. I do all I am supposed to and more. His house is clean laundry done, I'm a great cook, have not met a man I cannot fatten up so yes he has great meals. I have no life. I'm here. Recently I got back with an old friend that lost touch with because life happens. We picked up where we left off and all that is great. We have a great time. I pushed it earlier, I came in with my shoes on, he asked where I was going, told him I was going out, he said get the mail while your out.... I could have left, was thinking about it, don't know where to go, other than shopping. I was taking the dogs for a walk. Here is one example of how he does, and this did happen, two of his friends came by one day. My husband was playing games on his phone as usual, one sat down, the other I have known for a very long time, he reached over and started touching my face. My husband never even looked up. He said "Oh ____, your wife's skin is so very soft!!!" He kept looking at my husband and the first friend was looking at all three of us, looking intently at my husband. He still never even looked up, or at them! That happening really bothered me, so I asked him about it one day, he said I know how to take care of myself. I tried talking to him about it and he is not a stupid man at all, I tried explaining how that makes him look, he does not care. He thought it was funny. I never laughed. This everyday. He won't take me anywhere but says " what do you want to go do?" I've told him one place I've always wanted to go and 17 years later I still have never been. I guess I will go with friends or alone.
I don't know what to do anymore, I have tried to talk to him but he won't listen, years now, we have nothing in common anymore. Nothing! When he is fed up, that's it, he doesn't even attempt to talk about it. It's his way or no way, and he will tell you that. I'm ready to have an affair. I don't know what to do but leave.
