I'm new here and not sure where to go to post.
I have been married for 5 years. My husband and I have a long distance marriage as he works and lives in another city during the week. The BIG problem seems to be his lack of communication skills and his defense anger. Whatever he does he may be incorrect it somehow is "My Fault" that he did what he did. Hubby takes zero responsiblility for his actions. This lack of communication skills translates into his not speaking to me for days on end. This is a problem as we are currently trying to sell a rental home we own and I need to contact him with info BUT he won't return my calls. Oh yea did I mention he probably drinks a bit too much also. He's in construction and his way to unwind his to kick back a 12 pak every day. I've never seen him drunk but he can get to that point where he becomes combative. I am left to take care of paying our expenses, my home, making sure he takes care of things on his side..I'm more like his mom than his wife..We are no longer a team. This communication battle is too much for me as I feel I'm in the marriage alone. I can no longer depend on him, I have things that need to be addressed this week BUT need his imput but I'm not getting it.
Any suggestions??
