Her husband is particularly naive in thought, not thorough in considering issues, like a child? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

My husband and I are both from 1991, but he is incredibly naive and doesn't think things through very well. I often feel like he's a child, with poor language skills. When I speak to him, he never seems to grasp the main point and always says irrelevant or laughable things, leaving me feeling amused and distressed at the same time! Now that our child is over a year old, I'm taking care of her myself, but he doesn't show any understanding. He says I'm not working for him anymore, calls me lazy, and suggests I should leave the child with my mother! I feel so wronged! Our marriage feels like cold ashes, and I want to reignite hope, but he never respects me. When I try to talk to him, he never says a word. He just listens to me without expressing his own thoughts. I spend all day guessing what he's thinking! I've been so disappointed in this marriage and have given up numerous times, feeling exhausted.

Dear Question Asker,

It appears that your marriage has reached a period of relative stability. Your husband's apparent neglect and indifference, as well as

The dearth of communication between the two parties has resulted in feelings of profound disillusionment and disappointment. There is a palpable desire to salvage the marriage.

It is evident that you are experiencing a sense of helplessness.

It is evident that your husband displays childish behavior, a lack of complexity in his thinking, and an inability to empathize with you.

The inability to comprehend one's emotional states and necessities gives rise to feelings of indignation.

Despite a desire to salvage the marriage, the individual in question experiences a sense of powerlessness and helplessness, accompanied by a profound fatigue.

It is unclear how many years you have been married. Could you please elaborate on the foundation of your relationship and the point at which it began to deteriorate?

At what point did the relationship begin to deteriorate?

It is unclear whether you are employed outside the home, as the responsibility of childcare can be a significant source of stress, even for those who are not engaged in paid work.

Furthermore, men are typically unaware of the exhaustion women experience, which can be perceived as being on par with the difficulties associated with work.

The effort required is considerable.

The question thus arises as to how one might initiate such a conversation.

It is essential to consider the attitude and tone that should be employed when expressing pent-up emotions and dissatisfaction with the marriage.

What kind of attitude and tone should be employed?

Should one carry a sense of accusation and complaint, it may prompt the other party to choose silence and avoidance.

It is recommended that you attempt to express your needs directly, inform him of your feelings, and engage in discourse regarding the nature of your interactions during the period of your relationship.

What was the nature of the interaction in question, and how did the feeling of being taken care of dissipate?

When an attempt is made to express oneself in a negotiated and discussion-oriented manner, the effect may be different.

Discuss mutual interests and other shared connections.

Ultimately, it is my hope that you will be able to rekindle the joy that marriage once brought you.

Hello, dear questioner! I'm Whale Social Worker 53 Hz.

Sending lots of love to the OP ヽ(

It's so hard! The question asker is now not only responsible for her own child, but also for her husband. It's like having to raise two children. I can see she's having a hard time, so I give her a big hug.

From what the questioner said, it seems like her husband might not think deeply enough about things. I think it would be great if the questioner could directly state the topic she wants to discuss. That way, her husband can follow along and really understand what she's saying. And I think it would be really helpful if the questioner could also encourage her husband to take on more responsibility at home.

I saw a video once where the wife looked at her husband doing nothing and she also felt like doing nothing, taking care of her own meals and laundry. Over time, her husband will also feel that this kind of life is not what he wants. It's a great lesson to learn through experience!

Maybe it's because he hasn't had the chance to learn these things before, and no one has shown him how to handle certain situations or how to think about things. That's okay! The questioner can choose to teach him step by step, so that he knows how to shoulder his current responsibilities.

Wishing you all the best! (Yi Xinli Whale Social Worker)

Walker Davis Life is a continuous process of learning and unlearning.

I can totally relate to feeling overwhelmed and undervalued. It's tough when you're pouring your heart into everything and it feels like it's not even noticed. Communication is so key, and it seems like that's where the main issue lies. Maybe finding a way to open up a dialogue in a calm setting could help. Sometimes it takes professional guidance to get through these walls.

Alice Thomas Truth is a torch that shines through the fog without dispelling it.

It sounds incredibly challenging to be in your shoes. The lack of support and understanding from someone who should be your biggest ally must be heartbreaking. Have you considered expressing your feelings in a letter? Sometimes written words can convey emotions more clearly than spoken ones.

Martha Anderson The beauty of honesty is that it needs no ornament.

Feeling unseen and unappreciated is such a painful experience, especially as a new mother. It's important to remember that you deserve respect and partnership. Have you thought about seeking advice from a counselor or therapist? They might offer some strategies for improving communication and rebuilding the connection.

The weight of carrying everything on your own while also dealing with a partner who doesn't seem to understand must be exhausting. I wonder if there are any local support groups for parents in similar situations. Sharing experiences with others who understand can provide comfort and possibly solutions.

Morgan Thomas Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

It's heartbreaking to see your marriage losing its warmth. It's crucial to find a way to reconnect, but it's equally important to take care of yourself. Perhaps taking some time for selfcare and personal growth could give you the strength to address the issues with a fresh perspective.
