Should I stay with a husband that ignores me?

I've been married now for 14 years, and my husband lost his romantic side. He sits on the couch and watches TV for 4 hours without even saying one word to me. He snaps at me all the time, if I ask a question. We haven't had sex in over 2 months. Should I stay here, or move away and start a new life?

    a lack of communication spells divorce. talk to him about whats happening. if he refuses to talk or address his behavior, give him an ultimatum. if you choose to end the relationship, you owe it to the marriage to at least say you tried.

    he's obviously frustrated so give him a chance to talk about it. don't "confront" him about his behavior. tact requires you do not accuse him as this will only set him off. no one says anything rational when theyre emotional. if persists, give him an ultimatum. the bottom line is that know one should have to live like this.

    I am not religious at all, but I know this prayer by heart and live by it....

    God grant me the serenity

    to accept the things I cannot change;

    courage to change the things I can;

    and wisdom to know the difference.

    If it's that simple to leave your husband, did you love him in the first place? There's something going on. Maybe it's your approach, maybe something has changed with his job or he's struggling with life because the lack thereof. Find ways to spend time with him, but dont do the same habits that are causing him to retaliate at you.

    Why don't you try telling him exactly how you feel about it first? Tell him you need him to help you work on those things. If he doesn't, then yes, I would get out now. Life is too short to waste it with the wrong person. First though, do what you can to save it so you can walk away knowing you tried.

    God hates divorce.threaten divorce,and see if he changes.even go to a relatives house and stay for awhile.before you leave be sure to spray your perfume all over the bed.leave some of your garments and things in obvious places where he will find it (fridge or tv).after you leave,do not go back until he BEGS you back.once you are gone for a few days then your items and scent will make him miss you,and he will probably BEG you back.as you leave,tell him you love him;but the fact he ignores you is making you unhappy so you need to leave until he changes.if you go back after he BEGS you back and it starts all over again.repeat.men are slow learners.lol.most men get lazy after marriage cause the devil's works are usually stronger than he can handle.tv and computers are the main sorces of the devil's works.

    or before you leave,offer to watch a movie with him.an eye opener... Fireproof with kirk cameron in it is an awesome marriage eye opener!

    Well dear, it seems to me the problem is the tv set.

    Get rid of it!

    I could suggest something, but Yahoo might not like it.

    Do a strip tease in front of the TV. If he chooses the TV then you know.

    Put it this way: If you stay, don't complain. ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR HAPPINESS...NO ONE ELSE. LIFE IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL.
