My husband and I have been married for 5 years and our first child is due in 3 months. My husband has told me that he is not happy in our relationship and doesn't have the same love for me he had when we were engaged. I want to work things out and stay together. He wants a separation and then a divorce. The main issue has been that I have taken him for granted and put my other interests ahead of him. I am not an affectionate person while he is. I am willing to do anything to stay together. I love him and I want him back in life.

Default re- Dont wanna lose him
I suggest you to go to a marriage counseller.

When you say that you are not affectionate, what do you mean? Your hubby may be looking for more physical attention from you. He may be concerned that your reserved manner may mean that you will be emotionally withdrawn from the baby. You two need to talk this through.

Your hubby to explore what underlying issues are at work to cause this crisis. If you truly want this marriage to work you need to have patience and encourage your hubby to be honest with you about why he is so unhappy. Be prepared to listen and see what changes are possible so that this marriage survives.

All the best!

I think before that you must give more attention to him & make him feel important . Its important that your husband realises that he is the most important thing in your life . Take him to your gynaecologist & make him feel more involved with the child & your pregnancy .
He's bound to start caring for you more . You must not take stress at this point of time as it may adversely effect your baby .So let him know this & give him all the affection you can & i guarantee you'll get much more in return .

Default Undo Your Mistakes
The fact that you are thinking about making this relationship work out shows that you have it in you to make things right. Life is very precious....and to find someone who would really care for you and look after you , is EXTREMELY difficult. You have made one of the worst mistakes in a relationship. What happens is that when you care for a person and start going around with him. You make him the centre of attention........then with the passage of time you do not think it is necessary to make him feel special any more...You start taking him for GRANTED!! Try to undo your mistakes and make a fresh beginning......................Make him feel special once more.....

A relationship is like a spling...it has to be constantly looked after and nurtured in order to make it spread its roots deep into the soil...in order to make it give shadow and shelter to the other saplings nearby it. Thus as you see if you want your relationship to be strong , healthy and enchanting for generations to come...You ahve to work on it. So run and make it grow by leaps and bounds........

Hi,
Now interesting case. Hubby was loving her even six months back. She is pregnant for six months. They had sex till then( not rape I suppose) she admits she did not care for hubby all these years. Now hubby is fed up and want release.
It looks funny .any mature man who loves his wife all these years is less likely to go haywire. If he wants to leave, it wont be because of her not caring much .It will be much more and wont be deciding so fast. What could be reason for hubby to decide? humm ,one could be he found other lass with whom he enjoys time ,or he find life boring with this lady .In either case , no male decides so fast and calls it a day. You know, every male knows divorce is not easy and cost fortune .He still decides , then it is not true that he is bored , no one pays that price for entertainment. Woman without marriage are always available, he won’t invite such problem. There has to be more to matter.
Any way, my advise to lady to be polite, admit her mistake of not caring but don’t bend to show weakness. Fault is there but two hands are required for clapping, there will be some shortcoming from him too.. No arguments to be offered. Yes, that is life. .Life won’t end with him. It will continue. Over bending may have negative results? Apologize but not surrender.. Agree to accept past mistake but nothing less than equal partner in life. She should talk to him and offer friendship even after divorce but after taking all her lawyer can manage. Message should be clear. If he decides to live with other woman, he is welcome. But he will be lady’s first choice ,if he wants to be back.
I am sure hubby will understand. After all he is equally sufferer. Woman should not give up her dignity.

I think you should talk to your husband and tell him your love. Tell him you are willing to change to whatever he demands you to be. Ask him to give you another chance. After that put your words to actions. Be more attentive to his needs and be more affectionate towards him.

You have to tell your husband how you feel and how you want to change to save your marriage. If he doesn't change his mind, then you have no choice but accept it. You cannot force him to stay in the relationship.
