I wonder what it takes to have a conversation.

My husband got badly hurt and is off work and home for the next 8 weeks. I was trying to see the silver lining of my husband getting injured. I thought, we will have time to spend together, maybe strengthen our family bond. He will have nothing to do but talk with me & our son. Might be good. I mean, hard on me, with my full time job, parenting, housekeeping, summer activities and now im a nurse for my husband. But, lets focus on that silver lining I was excited about.

I couldn't have been more wrong. Before his injury, if he was distracted, or ignored me I blamed it on him being foggy from work, just exhausted. I made excuses for his bad behavior with me. But I always have let him know when he upsets me. I dont believe in letting details get fuzzy, people should be called on their shit immediately. But now, now he is home, in bed, well rested & just healing. He acts the same with me. Makes me more sad, because he has even less of an excuse now.

I am literally his nurse, im massaging him, emptying his urinal, serving him 3 meals a day, helping him change his clothes, filling his ice bags, doing everything for him. He wont even have a conversation with me. I was sweeping the house and talking to him about an idea I had for a family member. There were several pauses while I was talking, leaving room for him to interject a thought of his own. Nothing, so I continued. By the time I finished my thought, I said, "Dont you think?"...Nothing. I got so mad at him, he was just scrolling through facebook the whole time I was talking. Not even a day before I got mad at him for doing the same thing through text. He will read my texts & not respond. Then when im like, "You dont have anything to ad? No thoughts on what I was talking about?", he gets MAD at ME, like im so annoying expecting him to say words to me.

The man wont freaking talk to me. I have zero connection with him anymore. It wanes with every day that passes. He wont share a thought or emotion with me, especially a nice one. Any time he brings words to the table its usually really rude, or expects something from me.

I have expressed that I am unhappy with how im being treated several days in a row now & this morning he had the nerve to ask me for a blowjob. All shocked when I declined.

Im so sick of being taken advantage of, so under appreciated.
