The lack of communication has been worrying me also, hes very hard to talk to (he takes everything as a personal attack) and loses interest in conversations very quickly. I have tried a variety of ways to approach him, God I even found myself taking Dr. Phil's advice once (you understand my frame of mind better now ) and nothing seems to work..
he does like his new job better and other than the said problems things are good. He tells me I'm miserable a lot but as I told him if he was taking care of business in the bedroom (or any other room) then I'd be happy as a pig in muck. I'm a relatively easy person to get along with I just need daily attention.
All your advice has and is greatly appreciated
Thanks
