Husband says he’s not into me anymore, feels trapped at home
My husband recently told me something that has shaken me deeply. He said he is “not into me anymore” and that being in this marriage feels like “labor” for him.
The context is complicated. He has been managing several household responsibilities, including going up and down daily to bring food because of strict kitchen rules set by his mother. Due to ongoing tension around kitchen duties, I stopped participating in that part of the household work.
He also handles other tasks like bringing clothes from outside and organizing things like the almirah. Over time, he seems to feel that the responsibilities are uneven and exhausting.
On top of this, he raised issues about my communication style, lack of physical intimacy, and general dissatisfaction with the marriage. Eventually, he said he doesn’t want to continue in the marriage.
I’m trying to process everything without reacting emotionally, but I genuinely don’t understand how things escalated to this point or whether there is any realistic way to fix it.
