If a plain chicken breast, piece of broiled salmon or striploin steak, along with potatoes and a side vegetable are beyond his tolerance, (every cruise line I've ever been on offers these standard choices every night), I'm not sure exactly what you are cooking to suit his tastes.We went on a cruise once and went to the main dining room for dinner. Nothing sounded good to him so all he ate was the bread and butter. It was all food court after that.
I ask this kindly; what exactly are you afraid of in trying to change the dynamic with your DH? Afraid he'll physically attack you or abandoned you? Afraid it will "make him sad" or upset him? Afraid he'll just ignore you and confirm he really doesn't care? Afraid what others will think? Seriously - try to get to the root of why you think what you have now is better than risking trying to make a change.I feel like I’m crazy. His whole family definitely is so I guess it’s a given that it’s rubbed off on me after all these years.
I'm a woman. We aren't mind readers, if you want something to change you need to say something.
Yes, just so. And these comments from the men implying it's impossible to have a conversation with a wife about behavioral changes that would make meaningful improvements in the relationship and your quality of life are pretty ironic in a thread where EVERYBODY is encouraging the OP to talk to her husband about changing their dynamic. It's ridiculous, really. All you "happy wife, happy life" guys who refuse to deal with issues are the author of your own misery as much as the OP.You can't complain about someone never fixing something that they didn't even know was a problem.
