He is not one you can talk to he usually just brushes things off

So you have tried to discuss your loneliness with your husband before?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Yes he tells me it’s just in my head and I could just go out with him, but he drinks then to much so I do not like going out with him
user

I am sure that is frustrating! Does he drink at home as well or just when you go out?
assistant
Question
Just when he goes out I do not go with him I do not drink and drive And he hangs with some obnoxious people

Would a date night at home with take-out and a movie just the two of you be an option?
assistant
Question
He would go to sleep , and then he thinks I am crazy he says we are no kids anymore that need to go on a date we are married

Do you think you both might be open to talking to a marriage counselor?

I want that but I doubt he will talk he tells me he has no problems I have them, and all it does is I doubt myself I turned this situation in every direction and I just am not able to find a solution

Well, what about you finding a counselor for yourself who could help you with your own self-care? Perhaps it could be a start and then he/she could help you end your marriage if you still want to. It took me awhile to learn my own value and how important self-care is.

You know what I like that idea Maybe you are right I might get then some self esteem as well again

I know from experience that our self esteem suffers when we're in an unhappy marriage. It takes a lot of courage to seek help so I applaud you!
