Question

So we’ve been married for 6 years and honestly, it’s like we’re just roommates who share a kid. He’s Taurus, super set in his ways, and I’m Cancer, always wanting more emotional connection. I try to talk about how I’m feeling, but he shuts down or says I’m ‘too sensitive.’ Like, last week I brought up therapy and he laughed? Not even a real laugh, just this awkward ‘you’re being dramatic’ kinda thing 😭

We used to watch the sunrise together, plan little trips, but now it’s just him on his phone and me pretending I’m not crying in the shower. I love him, but it’s exhausting trying to feel seen when he doesn’t even notice I’m gone. My mom keeps saying ‘marriage is work’ and ‘kids need both parents,’ but I can’t help wondering—what if we’re just not right together? Leaving feels impossible but staying feels like dying slowly. Idk if this is astrology or just me not knowing how to fix us.

man i been in similar shoes, feel like im just goin through motions with someone i love. my wife, she's always on my case about bein more open, but it's hard when you're used to keepin everything inside. what helped us was just takin small steps, like schedulin regular date nights, just me & her, no kids, no phones. we started doin little things together again, like cookin dinner or watchin a movie. it sounds simple but it helped us reconnect. you might wanna try that, just start small, don't expect him to change overnight 💪
