We’ve been married for two years, together for 5. I just don’t know what to talk about anymore other than the mundane things about how my day was at work.
One of his biggest complaints about me is that we just don’t really talk anymore. He says we can still have the silly and goofy conversations that we used to but anymore the only things he wants to talk about are the state of things in the world and how he thinks everything is going to hell and war is coming. He talks about the things we need to buy (but can’t afford since I’m the only one who works, he has a long medical history), how I need to be more observant in the world and not be a lazy sheep like everyone else, and how the end is always near.
I would love to have goofy conversations again but I don’t even know where to start. I want to get back to the old us. I know people change with time and I expected that but what I didn’t expect was to no longer even recognize who my husband has become. I feel the most lonely when I’m at home with the person I’m supposed to love and cherish.
I would absolutely do couples counseling and therapy if we could afford it but I’m barely able to at the bills and buy groceries. Any help or advice would be fantastic.
