All my husband wants to do is hang out with his guy friends

Marriage

Dear Dr. Patty Ann,

My husband and I are married for a year and a half; we dated for only a few months before getting married. Three months into our marriage and all my husband wants to do is hang out with his guy friends. We never have sex anymore and we never do things together. I am miserable and he refuses going to counseling when I suggest it because he says he doesn’t believe in it. What should I do Dr. Patty Ann? I want to make my marriage work but I am so unhappy and my husband refuses to do anything to help the situation change.

Dear Miserable in Missouri,

I applaud you for being dedicated to making your marriage work, but as I often tell couples, it takes the commitment of two people to make a marriage work! Unfortunately, you stacked the odds against your marriage when you married after knowing your husband for such a short period of time. If your husband continues to refuse any professional help to improve your marriage, you should enter therapy for yourself although, I am sad to tell you the chances for saving your marriage are slim. Through your own therapy, learn from this experience, know someone for at least one year before committing a life-time to them in the future and move on. Life is too short to be miserable when your husband seems determined to maintain the status quo.
