I met my husband when we were both in our early twenties. At the time he was hanging out with a bunch of losers. After a couple of years we had our first child and I felt that we were on the right road. We had two more children and life hasn't been easy as he has taken on the finanical/father role and I took on the house/mother role. We have been together for 16 years now and he has suddenly became moody and doesnt feel there has ever been a connection between us. I have recently completed a degree and have admitted to him that I have been distracted. He feels deeply connected to our children but not me. I feel he would like me to leave but I love my family. I have tried to be more affectionate and have suggested that we go out and experience things like meals, museums etc and walks but he doesnt want to know. Right now I feel so lost and unloved and I dont know if we can salvage or find love. I know I am and always have been security conscious and hate this feeling of having the rug pulled out from me. I really need some support from somewhere but dont have close friends or family to help me.
