I am from a very strict background. My husband didn’t have a father and his mother was VERY loose and uncaring. He has had a rough upbringing and life. We have had many problems already but we both know we are meant to be and stay together, no matter what. A past "friend" (female and very jealous) lied to him about me to cause a serious problem. He has been "running" ever since. He says he is to blame for the problem anyway, but he can’t seem to get himself together. He quit his job and went away for 8 weeks. We have a 2 yr old and I am 8 months pregnant. I just don’t feel the closeness we used to have. I have offered to do anything he feels he needs to help our situation. He just can’t seem to put one foot in front of the other, even though he says he wants to. He has made attempts but has failed so far. What can/should I do?

I feel like he doesn’t need the closeness that I want. I feel like him providing for our family and sex are the only ways he shows me love. I want a partner, trust, communication, and to enjoy each other again! He seems happy (except for when I complain), but I’m not happy at all. He’s hurt me and hidden things from me, but hasn’t cheated. Sometimes I feel like I don’t know him, or that he wants to appear like he’s what I need. Whenever I’m not around (he travels once in a great while for work) he just sits around and plays video games, drinks (only when I’m not around) and watches trashy stupid movies (and sometimes porn).
