Dear Anonymous, You do not say how you feel about your husband speaking to this woman on msn every night. However, it is making you question why he does not talk with you every night. This seems to be a reasonable question for you to explore together. If the situation is something you would like to change, it is important to discuss your feelings early enough for you to do something about it as a couple and before you reach a point where you have had enough. If you do decide to raise the issue, it usually helps the discussion if you make 'I' statements...for example, 'I feel hurt ,or fed uo,when you spend hours talking on msn and do not talk to me' You might also like to post your comment on the 'Talk it Out' section of this website , where you might get helpful comments from the community. I hope you find a way forward on this.

Dear brownskin, It sounds as though you are in a difficult situation at the moment. As with the person who posted above you, I recommend that you post your message on the 'Talk it Out' section of this website, where you may get ideas and comments from the community of users. You might also consider making an appointment with either Relate or Marriage Care (see Related External Links section to the right hand side of this page), who are experienced at helping people in your situation. Best wishes, Jenny
