How to make husband value me?

Been married for 4 years and nearly after everything argument the topic divorce comes up and I had enough. He gives me signals towards that as in if I carry on with my ‘never ending, unrealistic expectations’ of him, it may be better we split our ways?! Like when it’s him wanting something from me I try do it but when I ask its either something he doesn’t mind doing anyway or he doesn’t like it ‘I’m not that kind of person’ response. He did eventually say he doesn’t wanna divorce but again entirely not 100%. I feel like I wanna erase my memory and forget about it all or a car hit me, something fell on my head etc..

Never beg a man to value you, he either does or he doesn’t. If he actually cares about you, he will try to make the changes you’d like to see (providing they’re reasonable) sometimes the relationship issues can’t be resolved and it is better to split ways, especially if he’s not willing to improve. See if he’ll consider couples therapy, sorry you’re stuck with a crappy husband :( Remember you don’t have to put up with this, be strong!

Im sorry but you cant. And if you have to beg for a man to value you its time to leave.

The last 2 sentences are the most worrysome. I think honest reflection and conversation is needed with in, and then with your husband. Rather than the questioning how to make your husband value me, I think you've got to ask youself a few other questions. Ultumatley, we cannot make somrone value us, thats outside our contol. Whats in our control is how we learn to value ourselves. Ask yourself in the utmost honest way, what are my values? Which personal values do/do not allign in your relationship? How does his words/ actions impact yourspitit, self-love snd overall well-being?

Sometimes, you only appreciate something after it's gone. If he's going to be throwing divorce around, maybe a trial separation would give you both some clarity as to what that might look and feel like. He can at least see that his household tasks and parenting obligations don't disappear when you're not there to ask or remind him.

Thank you everyone for all the replies, really appreciate it!

Next time he mentions divorce just say okay sure and walk away.

I agree with sab. My ex was trying ti hurt me when he said "if you choose your family its over between us" when i said ok fine it was like i lost 210 LBS that is didnt know i had on my shoulders
