I love my wife very much, problem is i dont think she loves me the way i love her. Every single day i tell her how beaitiful i think she is, how much i love her, i try to be so sweet everyday. I work so she doesnt have to, she spends time with her son and sometimes my kids when they come over. she is 30 , i am 36.
We use to have the most amazing sex life, i mean beyond amazing but now its more like she just does it for me. I always want to be near her and give her affection, and the way i am is what she loved about me when we first got together. she use to tell me that she cant believe that there are men like me out there, so loving and sweet and family oriented. She would always tell me how lucky she was to have met me.
Now its just really different, she is always so angry towards me for some reason. When she gets mad she calls me names all the time too, really hurtful things, and i cant understand how if you love someone you could talk to them that way. I feel alot of the time i know i deserve better then the way she treats me, but i am really in love with her, and i really do think she is the most beautiful women i have ever seen.
she use to be all over me all the time, now its like its a bother when i try to be close to her. i try talking to her and she tells me that she wouldnt be here if she didnt love me. i just feel thats a cop out.. i dont know what to do, any insight would be great, thanks

Funkman,
Think back what the timeline is for the decay of your relationship, perhaps you can identify events which accumulated to get you where you are now. Write it out that might help you understand what happened.
Do you believe she is in an affair, is there anyone in her life outside of your marriage she is very involved with. Do you know the signs of an affair. Did she ever tell you that "she loves you but is not in love with you"?
God Bless

i really dont think its an affair, she does tell me she is in love with me, it just feels very different from the way i am with her to how she is with me.. I dont recall any specific events which led to any decay, it just seems that over the 3 years we have been together, her affection has dies down alot. We are together all the time and we talk alot during the day , so i dont think its an affair , i pretty much know where she is or am talking to her during the day. i just wish i could find a way for her to have that old desire she use to have for me

Are you married to this woman? Is this the same woman you were dating back in 2007?

You are actually married?
do you think it is odd you have the exact same problems with this one that you did with the last one?

not really the fighting problems in this one like my last relationship. but yea i guess that relationship died out and so did the love on her part... I just hope this time around its not heading the same direction, i really dont know what else i can do to be a better husband, i really do try to be the best spouse i can and just love her everyday. we married june 10 2011

well she had a thyroid problem and ever since it started is when i started to notice it, her doc told us it could affect her mood and make her angry... but she has since got her thyroid levels under control so i dont know if its still from that, but thats when it all semmed to start.. other then that i dont know why she seems to be so angry all the time, but it just seems to be with me not anyone else.

What does she get angry with you about? What are the issues that trigger her anger?

Does she have any friends other than you? what about other family? what does she do for fun? do you allow her to do things that interest her or are you two always together? It sounds to me that you are smothering her and she needs some space. How old are your kids?

It sounds to me that you are smothering her and she needs some space. Your suggestions will make the situation worse, though. They are already so detached that the intimacy is gone, so becoming more detached will not solve the problem of detachment. "Space" does not create intimacy and romance. Nor does the intrusion of friends and family. They will hamper any efforts to put the marriage back into a state of intimacy. He is not in a position to "allow" her to do anything; she is a grown woman who does not need permission.
