Failing marriage

by Teresa ()

My marriage is failing. My husband dislikes that I struggle with confidence/ self esteem but I am growing in those areas through spending time with God and study. He keeps saying we aren’t in the same place spiritually. He is a Christian and is studying a lot. I am a believer as well since childhood but growth is continual. And my walk with Christ is personal.
I am a new wife and what I feel from my husband is criticism, anger, and bitterness.
He keeps pointing at separation and has expressed he doesn’t feel in love or as attracted anymore and has said it many times directly. Those are hurtful words for a wife to hear and especially more than once.
He wants respect but how can I respect a man who criticizes me. I won’t accept things that are untrue. His perceptions of me are not positive. I have expressed he has a critical spirit. My prayer is for clarity on what to do regarding this marriage. I’m starting to lose hope these problems can be healed. He seems to have already given up hope sometimes. He even doubts God blessed our marriage.
Thank you.
