Marital resentment
Answered 9 months ago
How do I get over resenting my husband? I used to treat him like a king. He'd come home from FIFO swing and the house would be clean, I'd have his favourite snacks on hand, and have his clothes laid out for him after a shower. We've switched roles and now I'm FIFO. But when I come home, the house is disgusting, there's dog shit on the floor, the dishes are piled up, there's no food in the house, the laundry I washed last time I was home is still on the fucking line! Because he "didn't have time" and has been "so busy". He was off work, and the kids spent all their time on ipads and TV. So I'm not sure what makes him so busy.
Making things worse is He's been saying some downright rude things to me. He's led me to believe he's only with me because I treat him good, and he thinks my body is gross. He wants me to lose weight, and he hates my boobs.
I've got other men in my life who treat me better than he does. Better than my own husband. That's fucked.
I guess I really need to know how to stop this resentment and find the love again. Cos right now we're tracking down hill towards a divorce if nothing changes.

Tell him straight up everything you wrote here. If he doesn't take notice then I think that tells you something pretty big.
