Everyone wants to feel loved, especially within their marriage, so I can understand why you are hurting. If you have felt alone for some time now, it's only natural that you have built up some resentment towards him at this point. Have you talked to him about counseling? It might help you to re-connect if there is a third party involved that won't dismiss your concerns as jealousy. If he won't go, I'd considering going for yourself so you can figure out how to move forward.

I am so sorry to hear about this. I think it sounds like emotionally you are trying to protect yourself becasue of how you have been treated. You deserve to be respected by him and his children. Have you tried telling him how that hurts you? Maybe he senses you are pulling back and he is hurt so he is too? Maybe you can try something....every day maybe once or twice touch him in a meaningful way, a hug, a hand on his arm or shoulder, touch his hand, and see if this changes how he reacts. This was something I learned in Mort Fertel's Marriage Fitness, and my husband (who I feel is emotionally shutting down from me) suprised me by listening too to the tape and picking up on this behavior. It has helped us both. We still have or issues but you can't find that connection again without touching one another. I wish you all the best.
