Husband wont say how he feels good or bad

I can have a conversation with my husband and ask how he feels about something and he never answers. Just I don't know. Is this normal? It makes me feel crushed because I never get to talk about anything because he's not interested unless he talks cars

Was he like this before you married him? Where did you meet, at a car show?
No we didn't meet at a car show we actually both ride motorcycles. But his hobbies are cars.

Sounds like motorcycles and cars are the areas he feels comfortable talking in. Some men are just not emotionally expressive. If he's the same age as you are, or older, he's not going to change. You'll have to look for emotional connections with women friends. Or decide that this marriage is just not satisfying for you.
Grrr I'm so bored lol, I love the guy and four years is a long time to end a marriage. I guess I was just hoping to get a little more attention. I know I changed a lot for him and he just stayed the same. I'm afraid I will start to resent him because after our child i gave up a lot! my income, bikes, cars and friends in order to raise a kid and make him happy and I can't even get a simple your pretty or how was your day. But you are right I need to do some thinking

A friend of mine married after a 3 month engagement and a huge fancy church wedding. 6 weeks later he was filing for divorce. I asked him what went wrong with his marriage. He said, "It went on too long."

A few years later, he married again. It's 30 years later now and he's still with her and happy.

There are no exact time tables. You have given up a lot and invested a lot. So now the question is: How much more do you want to give up and invest?

You have a child and that is an important bond. Remember that how you interact with him will be what your daughter learns to expect or how your son thinks a man should act with his wife.

Jane Wyman, Ronald Reagan's first wife said she divorced him because he was "boring." So if you decide to cut your losses,and split, you'll be in good company; Wyman was a fine and successful actress.

Best of luck whatever you decide. These situations are never easy.
