I believe having been through this before myself that it is hard to get through but it is possible to have a good communication solution to your problem. You have to have patience and faith in the relationship. He has to understand that you love him and that things are just not right or the way that you would like them to be between you both. Perhaps you should try this.. Sit down one nite at dinner just the two of you and discuss how your day went and then you may lead into how you feel. Have him listen to you talk and then ask him to repeat what he thinks that you said in his own words, this will let you know what he heard from you, also if you do this you both will have the chance to change whatever was said wrong and clear up any misunderstandings. Then you will finish what you feel and he will tell you how he feels. It sounds obserd but it does work. Remember tell him how you feel, have him reinstate what he thinks he heard you say and then you can clear up any misunderstandings and work through it together. Communicating is not easy but it is possible.
