"When should I give up on my marriage?
I’ve been married for 6 years but I feel like I’m alone. We get along well, but my husband is absorbed by his work. It wasn’t like that before we got married, as he used to spend more time having fun.我们相处融洽,在许多事情上也能达成共识,但我就是觉得只有自己孤零零一个人。他给我的感觉更像是一个好朋友和室友,而不是一位人生伴侣。
In the past few years, all he cares about is work. Hanging out with me seems like a chore. It’s great to be serious about work, but it’s gotten to the point where he complained he used to be productive during mealtimes but now he is less productive because I keep talking to him during meals.
We are not doing anything interesting or fun together. All my favourite things, I’m left to do by myself because he has no interests outside of work. He even asked me to hang out with friends instead. I have to eat my favourite foods on my own because he doesn’t like them.
I tried to do something for him by cooking dishes that he likes. However, it’s never good enough for him and it’s very difficult to please him. He’d rather just eat out. I take care of all the household chores and also call when repairs are needed. I feel like I’m alone and I’m tired of always asking him to participate more. He never does anything for me or with me unless I ask.
Now it feels like if we have kids, it’s going to be a chore rather than a fun thing to do together. I have talked to him about it and he’s prepared to do it, but he openly said taking care of kids would be a chore to him, although he’s willing to. It seems like he’s being responsible but not enthusiastic. If so, what’s the point?
We get along well and agree on many issues, but I just feel like I’m all by myself. He feels more like a good friend and housemate than a life partner.
Should I move on?"
翻译:我结婚6年了,但我觉得自己始终孤单一人。我们相处得不错,但我丈夫完全沉迷于工作。在我们结婚前并不是这样的,那时候他会花更多时间去玩乐。
在过去的几年里,他关心的只有工作。和我一起出去玩对他来说仿佛成了一件例行公事。对工作认真固然是好事,但现在已经严重到他甚至向我抱怨,说他以前吃饭时都很有工作效率,现在因为我在吃饭时一直找他说话,导致他的效率变低了。
我们不会一起做任何有趣或好玩的事。我所有喜欢的事情都只能自己一个人去做,因为他在工作之外没有任何兴趣爱好。他甚至让我去找朋友玩。我也只能自己一个人去吃喜欢的美食,因为他不爱吃。
我曾试图为他做点什么,比如做他喜欢的菜。然而,这永远达不到他的要求,要讨好他非常困难,他宁愿去外面吃。我承担了所有的家务,家里需要维修时也是我打电话联系。我觉得自己就像是单身一样,我已经厌倦了总是请求他多参与到生活中来。除非我开口要,否则他永远不会主动为我做任何事,也不会陪我做任何事。
现在我觉得,如果我们生了孩子,对他来说也会变成一种负担,而不是一件能共同体会乐趣的事。我和他谈过这个问题,他表示准备好了,但也坦白说照顾孩子对他而言会是一项例行差事,尽管他愿意承担。这看起来他很有责任感,但毫无热情。如果是这样,那还有什么意义呢?
我应该选择离开吗?
