Stop attempting to fix your husband— try this instead
I totally get it. You’re frustrated.
And rightfully so.
The man you said your “I do’s” to doesn’t seem to be maturing into the man you pictured growing old with.
As life brings your marriage through the crucible of time, the person with whom you share a bed and a home appears to be traveling on a different trajectory than the path you had hoped for back when you tied the knot.
A long time ago he was your best friend, but now you wonder if he even shares your highest values anymore — if he does, it’s hard to see them being put into practice.
He doesn’t show signs of caring about the things that matter most to you and the more you press him about the differences that are eating away at you the more he retreats.
You’ve tried appealing to him.
You’ve talked with your friends or family about the problems.
You’ve read books, listened to podcasts and watched marriage conferences online.
And nothing seems to be gaining you any traction.
You don’t want to jump ship but you can’t imagine your situation persisting much longer.
Where do you go from here?
