I never had a problem until recently when so much has change with him. He has a new hairstyle...interest in designer items that were never a priority (he always made fun of friends and family who were into that) a new sports car....what am I to think? I cannot get anything from him but defensive behavior
This actually sounds like it could also be just a mid life crisis. Sounds like my brother in law, it was a short lived phase that he grew out of.
update. I tried to have a conversation with my husband about our current differences but got no where. He would not listen to my concerns. I asked him if he is going through problems that I should be aware of or if I can help in any way. I want the smiles to come back and the tension to go away. I was told there is no problem only me making something over nothing. So I guess his opinion is take the situation or leave ir.

Has he always behaved this way when the two of you have an issue that needs to be discussed? Or is this new behavior?
he would want to go in depth into issues fully if they were concerns for him..but not for me. this has always been the case
Everyone is different. For me, this would be a huge problem. My needs and my feelings count too, or else I am not interested in maintaining the relationship.

You should really watch the employment advertisements and do his resume for him
If it pays more, and is less stressful, and it's almost done for them, he might leave his current position

Me, too. Relationships are a two way street.
OP - I guess you have some decisions to make. You can put your foot down and make him deal with this with you, you can leave, or you can just accept that this is how he is and continue on like you were before.
