    Have you talked to him about how you feel? Us men might be great but we are not mind readers, (although a lot of women think we are).

    No one ever stays the same, and we all feel we want to change.
    What would you like to do instead?

    I think i am asking too many questions?

    A few years ago, Mrs 74 and me had similar difficulties..

    She worked for a gym and did evenings and weekends and I did Monday to friday. so we only say each othe a few hours a week. it nearly finished us.

    You said you are after a new job, can't you do that, and see if the situation improves. the only thing that can help a relation ship is time and effort.

    Do you think you could talk to him about this? Maybe he's feeling the drift too. If you talk about it you might decide to try spending more time together to see if that rekindles things?

    If he already thinks you're being strange his mind will be spinning trying to work out what's wrong and it'll make it harder for you both in the long run.

    I can see why you feel trapped. Not spending time with some one and him not wanting to change your job.

    Something has to change hun, or you will gorw further apart. Mrs 74 took a less paying job so we could fix our relationship. as there are more important things than money.

    I agree with Marky. A text like that will send his mind into overdrive. Why not suggest having a quiet night in instead?
