Comments on "Worst Time of the Year for Breakups?"

valentines day history

Love makes men weak?
When Claudius II became the emperor, he felt that married men were more emotionally attached to their families, and thus, will not make good soldiers. He believed it made the men weak. So to assure quality soldiers, he banned marriage.
Valentine was a bishop who held secret marriage ceremonies of soldiers in opposition to Claudius II who had prohibited marriage for young men.

For the guys

For the guys out there, Mens' Health had a great article in this month's copy. It covered many aspects of why we feel the way we do after a break-up...especially if they do the breaking up.

I have a personal problem- the truth is I am very upset because my relationship with my husband is getting colder and colder and I don’t know what to do
He is avoiding me all the time, we are having sex only once a month, and in many cases it’s because I am almost begging – I feel terrible to even talk about it. Before he used to come from work and kiss me - I’ve realized the other day he is not kissing me at all- He used to grab me and hug me – he does not do that either- I don’t want to become one of those couples that are distant -
I know he is loyal to me .I am 32 and he is 34 – we have 2 kids – he works a lot and I am in school. He is always tired and when he gets home(never before 9) all he does is watch the news – during weekends all he wants to do is to be with the kids, so I am like the last person he wants to give his energy to. But it’s unfair I am tired too and stressed out –
Still I would like at least on weekends, when the kids go to bed, to disconnect- put some music-glass of wine and just spend some time together. I am getting tired of always being the one making it happen- the truth is I am building up some anger. And I don’t want to start to reject him as a vendetta, the few times he gets inspired. I have tried talking to him – – he says I am always giving orders around the house and the kids and he says he is not attracted to me when I am like that. Which is partly true but I am not always like that- plus he is always in a terrible mood- to be honest it is really frustrating – He was not like this before- he was always attracted to me- And I am not fat – actually I know I am attractive -
Why doesn’t he like me anymore? To be honest I am not sure if he needs sex anymore- what can I do ? Do you think he has a problem?
The reason I am sharing this with you -because you have experience with relationship issues –
Thank you
