Hi,

been married for 15 very happy years. 3 children - 12,8 and 7. Every few years my husband stops talking to me for up to a week at a time. I think I have narrowed it down to visiting relatives being the catalyst. Last year and again this year it has co-incided with a sister visting. She has stayed for a few days and now left. He gets very insecure and builds molehills into mountains. I ask whats wrong to get the answer Iam just being quiet. Last few nights in bed he has turned his back on me - no cuddles no kisses. He will not come near me and refuses to say what is wrong. This is happening again as I speak (started on Saturday) and I find it so hard to deal with. He has huge trust issues - when we started to date I was seeing someone else and was not honest with him. I then admitted what had happened and we went on to get married. He has had no lies, no affairs, no reason to doubt me from that day. One of these times he will walk away. We honestly love each other madly apart from this . He hates his job, hates the town we live in (I work in a family business), dislikes my father and the fact I can get called into work at short notice - I get paid well and don't work when the kids are off school so cant have it all ways. HELP - any advice
