Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. My husband never seems to be happy with me: Advice?

Fuck no. Problem isnt you. Its him. I have one at home now, 12 years later not much has changed. Then we look at ourselves like wtf for staying so long and being willing to do so much out of love alone… Let him go

Stop doing it and see then how he acts. Just tell him, if you don’t appreciate what I try to do for you then why should I do it? Some people don’t know what they have until they loose it :woman_shrugging:t3:

Its because your acting like a maid and not a wife. Its not about all the things you do for him. Its about anything and all he does to make you smile or laugh. If he doesn’t do it, value yourself and love yourself enough to walk away. Someone right is waiting for you to treat him like a king and you as his queen.

Why don’t you ask him? Not in an accusing way… Ask him and let him know you genuinely are curious. Let him know it’s important to you that he’s happy because clearly it is. Sometimes men are worried about something that has nothing to do with you but cope in ways where we as wives take it personal.

Just stop doing anything to please him, when he clearly don’t appreciate what you do. Instead, stop doing his lunches, clothes and anything else that is specifically for him… start looking after yourself and focus on what makes you get up every morning. Sometimes us women lose ourselves because we always take care of everyone else around us, we forget to look after ourselves in the process… start working out, going out with friends even just for coffees or lunch etc.

Try communicating and find out why he us frustrated
If no answers look through his phone
He doesnt appreciate you and you shouldnt feel like just a maid, cook
Maybe give him an ultimatum
Tell him stop the bitchin and if your not happy then leave
Stop letting him walk over you

I don’t know what gets into some men. They seem to get in these moods. Is everything ok in the bedroom? They seem to worry about that before everything else. If you’re trying your best there too, come right out and ask him what his issue is. Tell him he’s walking around with a chip on his shoulder the size of Mount Rushmore and you’re tired of it. You’re doing everything you can to make him happy. So what’s the deal?

First ask him. Straight up. If he says nothing but continues with that mood then stop doing everything. He may need a reminder how much you do and that it is done by CHOICE. That HE can also be held responsible to do his own things like pick out his clothes and make his own meals and clean his own messes.

Did you ask him what’s putting him in such a sour mood lately? Men are conditioned to “suck it up” and not show or talk about their emotions, but clearly something is bugging him and it’s probably not you.

Is he worried about his job? Is he being bullied or sabotaged at work? Is he worried about finances? Is his health or abilities in decline? Is he having a midlife crisis or is he depressed? Anxious? Why now? See if you can get him in therapy, and talk to his doctor about a depression screening.

Is he able to perform in the bedroom OK? Is he losing his hair? Men can be really insecure too. Just gotta find out what’s weighing on him.

If you’re suspicious he’s cheating and trying to alienate you, check bank and credit card statements and phone records, and if nothing seems amiss, just ask him point blank if he’s having an affair.

Individual and couples counseling are always a good idea. Have or cultivate the self esteem to be happy with yourself the way you are and know you’re doing a fabulous job of being a supportive spouse no matter how cranky he gets.

Go on strike, let him see what it’s like when you’re not doing everything for him… He needs to learn some appreciation for how blessed he is.

Not at all it’s your husband who has the problem.

It is not u! Please don’t let him do that…make u start questioning ur worth/value. U aren’t doing anything wrong hun. He needs to show some appreciation for all that u do AND reciprocate that. Honestly, as hard as I know it can be, u need to stop doing so much for him. He’ll either realize just how good he had it or you’ll realize that he’s just selfish & wanted someone to wait on him. Either way, it’ll help to give u a clearer picture of who he really is. If nothing changes…u have to decide if ur willing to live the rest of ur life this way. In the end, it’s up to u. U deserve appreciation & to not have a partner that causes u to question if ur good enough. Please take care of urself :black_heart:

Do you know about love languages? There are 5 different ones and everybody has their own love language. Actually everyone has 2 but like their primary and their secondary. Judging by what you do for him it sounds like your primary love language is acts of service (mine is too). But with the way he reacts to what you do for him I can tell that his is not. So you doing all these things for him is your way of showing love but he doesn’t feel loved that way bc to him that’s not what makes him feel loved. You should really look into it and figure out what his love languages are. The 5 are: Acts of service, physical touch, quality time, gifts, words of affirmation

please tell me why you lay his clothes out for him? Is he disabled? If that is a n, you seem to be acting more like his mommy than a wife, Stop being his personal maid & be a wife, You also didn’t’ say how old you guys are or how long you are married. Again, stop acting like his mommy or a maid, Making dinner is fine & getting his lunch ready, is OK to a point, But if he isn’t happy & he won’t say why, then stop doing everything for him & start doing things that make you happy

Stop doing that stuff for him, let him do his own things or he’ll never be able to function like an adult. Do not baby him like his mom. Do what you want to do for yourself. If you like cleaning and keeping a tidy place, go for it. Don’t like picking after his shit? Leave it. Don’t make him lunches, he’s not in elementary school, he’s a grown ass man. Unless you enjoy and want to do it. Let him be a proper adult.

You can did everything for him including wipe his butt but that doesn’t mean you two are communicating clearly and effectively. Maybe he’s upset bc he’s not allowed to choose his clothes?!? Idk it would make me upset and I would feel like my partner was trying to parent me. It’s possible it’s just stress from work, bills, whatever rugswept stuff you guys going on. And nothing to do with alll the stuff your doing.

No there is nothing wrong with you except that you are looking to blame yourself for his behavior. Has it always been this way or something new? Is he a narcissist (Kinda sounds like it)? If new it could be anxiety/depression?

ETA- I read the other comments and never saw the word narcissist come up, but I’m willing to bet that’s the case. Look into it :purple_heart:
