At the end of the day, the more you say all the things you don't like about him and all his bad traits just reflects poorly on you.

You chose him, you married him, and you choose to stay with him. Has he turned into a completely different person since you met him? I mean it does happen, but usually it's essentially the same person, and the other one just gets tired of it.

The computer games can be a real problem. I myself have played them and it causes issues. Try to get him away from them by giving him better things to do. Maybe some DVD nights and let him pick, or play a board game, go to church, etc.

I'd be careful just divorcing the guy. You didn't say if he was cheating on you. Biblically, that's the only reason to divorce, not being grumpy. I wonder what he's grumpy about. Start praying to God to bring you closer if that is what you want.

Easy answer. He'd be classified as: your husband.
How you define what his role is ...is yours. Not anyone else's. Okay ..actually he gets to define his role.

Hopefully, he'll soon be classified as a Wasband. Man, I hate guys who don't do their part in a marriage.

My official diagnosis is he is a POS.

That's fine.

But has he always been who he is?

Giving him better things to do? SOunds like he's the child...give him chores to do.

It's sad but many end up with the wrong partners and many can be better off without.

And I'm wagering the tech world has put a greater divide between people. I escaped that but the marriage still didn't make it.

I’m 41 and am much happier being single than being married and miserable. I fail to see the benefit of being married just to be married.

I sort of wonder if the OP has unintentionally trained him to be even less involved with their marriage than he was to begin with. By not being "present" as something that needs his attention, keeping out of his line of sight emotionally, not asking anything of him, waiting on him, doing what he wants without question or discussion, staying pretty private or self sufficient about your own troubles, he has even less reason to care. He may feel you don't need him either. There's nothing to work on and not much reason to bother. That habit of thinking took a long time to develop and it will take a long time to change if it ever does.
