My husband shows no affection towards me. He doesn't hold my hand, randomly hug me, or give me romantic kisses. If he does hug or peck kiss me, it's because I initiated it. He never spontaneously says "I love you;" if he does say it, it's because I said it first. We used to have sex 3 to 4 times a week, but now he says it's only for special occasions. He often tries to go out without me, even though I've expressed interest in joining him for walks. I've noticed that he sometimes tries to leave without me, even when he used to ask me to come along. It feels like he always finds reasons to go to the store multiple times a day. I'm exhausted from feeling like I'm fighting for someone who doesn't care. After 18 years of marriage, the past 4 to 5 years have made me feel like we are just roommates sharing a bed. It seems like my husband is intentionally pushing me away.
