does my husband still love me?
My husband barely talks to me..we never sleep in the same room..and for christmas eve he spent most of the day in the other room doing his work..he makes time for his family, but when it comes to me, he is busy.. we have children together, and when i am home with them, he just goes into the other room..when he does call me when he is at work, it is always the same conversation, just about work..he never talks to me about anything deep.. he also cheated on me several years ago.. is he just staying with me because he is afraid to leave? he is also inconsiderate about my feelings, and for example, on christmas, he will say that his family is not coming over, so i will cook enough food for my family, and then his family will show up and i run out of food because i didnt know his family was coming over.. i try to hang in there, and work on things, but its the same thing year after year..

It sounds like a communication problem. You can only get that answer from your husband. You need to ask him this question. It maybe that he just doesn't realize how he is avoiding you. Make an effort to talk to him. Why are you sleeping in different rooms? This is one of the things you need to change. Let him know how you feel without becoming angry. Tell him that you miss him and that you would like to spend some time alone with him. let him know that you realize how hard he works but you feel the need for some of his time also.Take baby steps. Go into the room and give him a kiss and a hug. Show him that you are there for him as well. Let him know that you long for closeness at bedtime. Communicate and show love.

In this situation the question definately deserves an answer. My suggestion would be, if you have friends or family that can babysit for you for a night or two, you two need to sit down and talk this out. If this marriage is worth saving, it is going to take both of you to work on it. Only you and your husband can decide if the marriage is worth saving, the fact is that the two of you need to find your base, do something together that doesn't involve work or the kids. Men are attention starved, they love nothing more than for the spotlight to be on them. Just like us, they love to be pampered and catered to, although they will never admit it because to them that is considered "girly" but, b ehind closed doors, they love it as much as we do. Talk, spend time together, find that spark where love began. Trust me it's there.

You may find that if you are willing to leave him, he may come out of the closet with his true feelings. In my opinion, that is a "win-win" situation. If he doesn't love you, he will honor your wishes to move on to experience happiness in life without HIM dragging you down. If he DOES love you, he will begin to realize that he has to show some interest and input into your relationship. Either way, I see you as having the upper hand. Don't play the victim and put up with a life that has you remain unhappy.

Only he can answer your question about loving you, but from what you have written here, he's emotionally distant. There is a reason he is like the way he is. I would suggest talking to him about these issues. Make it easy for him to open up to you on these issues and you will have more of a chance of him talking. Encourage him to express his feelings in a safe environment and you will have your answer.

You have some serious issues that you should discuss with a marriage counselor. If you can't find the answers to your questions directly, you need some help. You need to figure out what is going on in his head.
p.s. If he does love you, he sure doesn't show it.
