What To Do For The Relationship Without Love?

Yes, It s my wedding anniversary and my husband is acting hypomanic...loud, picking a fight, avoiding my questions, on the day we were going to spend together. In the past, I would blame myself. I don t do that anymore. I know that he is acting strange and I don t understand, unless he is just tired and worried about finances..but why ruin our day? I kissed him and wished him a happy anniversary and told him to call me by cell phone when he wanted to do something today...no call. Always blames me. It really is not very pleasant.

Hello. Thanks for posting your query.
I'm Dr. Jaydeep and I am glad to assist you.

The issue is that, initially when you fall in love,you're in that " honeymoon phase " where everything seems great, every anniversary is special, there are no fights and only love "

Things start going downhill once the honeymoon period is over. Especially a few years after marriage, people feel that thrill is gone, tend to take his/her partner for granted,and starts overlooking all the special characteristics that the partner has,which actually made him/her fall in love.

Your husband might be worried about his finances. I don't know the severity but if it's too bad, then you should give him some time. If not, then you need a frank discussion with your husband and tell him that this behavior is hurting you. If he really loves you just as much,he will understand and acknowledge your problem. I feel like he's taking you for granted. So for the next few days,stop reacting to things. Once he realizes that you're becoming indifferent to his behavior,he will change and make an effort. For example,next time don't wish him on your anniversary, let him remember and wish you. The more leverage you give,the more he takes you for granted.

Hope this helps. You can write to me again if you need my assistance.

Regards

Let me start off by telling you that no marriage is perfect and that both the partners have to constantly work on their marriage to make it work. How many years have you been married since? Has this problem been a part of your marriage since the very beginning or is it a new development?Was the marriage with mutual consent or did either of you get married out of some sort of compulsion? To be able to really help you, one needs to know these aspects of your relationship. I understand it could be very frustrating to be in a loveless marriage, but what you need to understand is that your partner could very well be going through the same emotions as u. Lack of communication,perhaps because of both of your pent up anger or individual egos from what I can see, could be the root cause. Ponder over the questions i asked and try and talk things out with your partner. Remember to not be offensive when doing so. If the problem still persists, there is no harm in taking professional help. Good luck!
