One look

...See more I have been trying to keep my emotions in check. My husband is an avoider and doesn't know how or like to express emotion. Building emotional intimacy in our marriage is very difficult. I am trying to educate myself on ways to help him, but at times I am so frusted that he doesn't seem to understand or care why this is such an important thing for me. He gave me one look as soon as he got home that triggered my anger, and after a difficult week of work and feeling down about our marriage, I lost my cool and started yelling. I was upset that he didn't understand what I meant by what I said and I felt like I frustrated him. I guess I feel like I need him not to be mad at me because then I feel alone and unloved. I already feel alone in my emotions and I am sad because I don't know how to make our marriage better. Really just looking for words of encouragement and not judgment.

...See more I am exhausted. Having 3 kids under the age of 8 is difficult. Someone always needs something or is talking. My husband doesn't know how to connect on an emotional level and I am just really sad. I am a home body and my hobbies get neglected because everyone always needs me and I am exhausted by the end of the day. Anyway have kind words or shared experiences to help me get through this?
