Communication Breakdown in Marriage: How to Resolve Conflict with a Unresponsive Husband

Question
Hi. My husband and I have been married for 2 years and together for 10. We have 2 children, aged 3.5 and 10 months. We have some huge problems in our marriage that need to be fixed, but my husband refuses to acknowledge any of them. If I bring up anything that's bothering me he gets mad and says he's not going to talk about it and leaves the room. He'll be quiet for a few hours and then act like everything is ok. I am tired of going on like this. Our fights are escalating, and now they've started to be personal attacks on each other(calling names, etc). We don't spend any time together, he's on the computer as soon as he wakes up and is on again as soon as he gets home. He also won't kiss/hug/hold hands with me anymore either. I've suggested counselling thousands of times and he refuses, and says there's nothing wrong with our marriage. I am at a loss!! Please help! Thanks

Answer
Since the family is a system, each component has the capacity to influence the others.

You are encouraged therefore to seek immediate counseling. Once you start, the chances are high that your husband would either join or be influenced by your initiative.
