Not many men here I see. I wish there were more. However I am sure to get some opinions from a gals point of view.
My marriage is falling apart. All aspects of our love have eroded.
I plead with her to at least have a kind word. No affection can be shown and none can be recieved. Im shut out. She IS working two jobs to make ends meet. I cant work right now due to chemo sides. My heart pines for my bride of 25 years. Now Im kept at arms lenghth. She refuses to talk much about our relationship.
Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel.

25 years is a long time together.  Do you have any children?  This sounds like a very difficult situation, and my advice to you is to try and talk to you wife.  Ask her if she will go to couple's counseling with you.  If she will not go with you, maybe you can go to counseling yourself.  It might help you figure out how to deal with this situation better.  I wish you the best of luck.

Call your local hep suport group.  They will idrect you to someone who can give you good counsel.

I am sure your wife is stressed, she is caring for you andworking two jobs.  She is probably so exhausted she doesn't have the energy to spend time with you.

im guessing you have cancer? you two have a large and heavy load on your hands. im sorry you have to experience this. i read your title triggertime. i think if you are really serious you need to get help immediatly. if it was a joke, i dont find it funny at all. i know you are going through a lot, as is your wife. she needs to open up to you and tell you how she feels. even if she is angry, sad, scared, all feelings i bet you both have. there wasnt much info in your post other than she works 2 jobs, isnt close to you and you are not working due to chemo. there are many more tidbits of info that could make what anyone might say different.

Thanks pert. No I havent cancer. I do have hepc and am on my second set of daily shots of infergen. It'll be 2 years come this Aug.
What more can i say? Theres no communication allowed. She will not hear me
and wont tell me why.I know that with putting up w/ me feeling yucky all the time is quite trying. I cant afford a therapist as we have no $. Even w/ med ins. the co pays on a regular basis is too much. Way too much.
All I know is that I watch my Best Friend and our relationship run raggeder and raggeder. Rejection hurts so much.

i know this will sound bad but you said you have hep c. did something from your past cause this that would be hard for your wife? you are sick i understand, but she is involved as well. we hear your side, just a little. we dont hear hers. do like anxious said and call a hotline for some help. im sure there are some clinics you can go to for a sliding fee scale. even some of the psychology schools will do work for less $$. sorry i cant offer any more advice.
