Feeling alone
I know deep down my husband loves me. However this past week we had his daughter which always seems to cause fights or for my anxiety to flare up. There is lack of boundaries/respect and I tend to overreact. This week was even worse since they both got sick. 🤒 when I try to explain to my husband how I feel it turns into how I shouldn’t feel this way or that I’m overreacting. Mind you I had my own little girl 6 weeks ago (so she has no immunity). My husband now I feel is choosing to work versus come home or just hang further away from me on couch than love me. I know I have overreacted in the past but I still need to know and feel he still loves me.
I don’t know if this is a correct approach but maybe bc you already tried talking and that didn’t work you should try to give him a bit of the silent treatment like don’t ignore him but be short and just let him be? He will notice eventually and perhaps will start to worry that you are the one drifting away instead of you wording about him drifting away. But again I don’t know if this is right but maybe you should try since you already tried talking it out and he just shuts you out.
