Advice and prayer
I need prayer and advice. My husband and I aren’t really getting along right now and I’m not sure why. We’re both so touchy. Everything we say to each other seems to tick us off. I’ve been in a weird funk lately and I can’t seem to pull myself out. I’m just not happy with the way things are headed in our lives right now. I love my husband to death and I do not want anyone but him, but he’s just been driving me nuts and I want some space. However, my husband is a very sensitive guy when it comes to our marriage. He has a very low self-esteem and always thinks I’ve fallen out of love with him or want to leave him, which is not the case at all. It doesn’t matter how much I reassure him or try to show him that I’m still madly in love with him, he still seems to think differently and I know if I ask for some space he’ll think I’m packing up and about to hit the road running. He’s smothering me. He always wants us to be together all the time and if we’re not together he wants to be on the phone. I don’t want to complain, b.c I grew up with my step dad never wanting to be with my mom and us kids and my biological dad avoiding my step mom like she’s the plague. I love the fact that he wants to be with me, but sometimes he pushes it too far and gets his feelings hurt when I’m tired of talking on the phone and want to get off. Sometimes I really have to get mean just to hang up and then that starts a fight. He just won’t listen to me or believe me when I tell him nothing’s wrong, I’m not mad, I just want to get off the phone or be by myself. He over reacts to everything and gets his feelings hurt by the smallest things. Don’t think my husbands a pansy b.c that’s the furthest thing from the truth. He’s had a hard upbringing and was never really shown the proper way to behave in a relationship so I’m having to be his teacher along with being his wife. I don’t know what to do. I’m at my wits end. We also really really need a place to live. We’re having such a hard time finding any rentals or houses for sale that we can afford. We just can't seem to catch a break.
Yup. Exactly what I thought would happen, did. I mentioned in passing that maybe, MAYBE we were spending a little too much time together and need a little time apart and he completely freaked out. He text me and I quote “Hey u said maybe we need space from each other. What does that mean? U want time away from me?” And I said “ I just thought maybe we’re getting on each other’s nerves a little bit.” And he replied “Like u want to break up?!” I am so tired of this argument that it really is a sore spot for me when it’s brought up that all I replied back was “no.” And now he’s wanting to rush back home from work which is the last thing I want him to do.

RE: Advice and prayer
This couple are not saved. They need to repent and accept our Lord Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
