Today, my husband and I were arguing about him not communicating anymore. Instead of talking to me about it, he messages my mom to say, "I'm not mentally strong enough to handle her anymore." FML

He wasnt always like this. Used to listen and talk. Now hands are just being thrown up in the air. Says he doesnt know how to handle fights.

It sounds like you two need help; maybe in the form of a therapist.

My fiancé would do almost the same thing to me. Couples therapy helped a lot.

Looks like talking to him won't do any good...hope things get resolved...

As far as arguments go, "you win because you're smarter than me" is a fairly decisive victory for you. That sucks, though. It's like in school sports where one team scores 500% more points than the other.

That's not what the husband said. He said he's mentally exhausted. Probably tired of having to argue so often.

Exhausted? When I get sleepy I don't say I have to go to bed because I'm not strong enough. I use "strong" to describe my physical capabilities. I assumed the word works the same for the brain as it does for the legs or arms.

The fact that he feels comfortable talking to YOUR mother about it is interesting. Definitely bring this up in couples therapy. By the way, whose side is your mother on?

OP is not providing space to her husband and treats him like a child. Relationships are built on respect and sacrifice. She is still not getting why her husband preferred to text her mom rather than talking to her. Think OP think! With an open mind..save your relation.

Even if you don't see it or think you are, he may think all you talk about is negative things and it may be starting to wear on him. Try easing off on him and ask him in a couple of days if there is anything bothering him and what can be done to fix it. Writing an actual letter, not a text or email, may help as well, I've done it before. Remember though, don't try to make it seem like it's his problem or nag at him about it. Even if it is his fault, some people shut down when they feel like they're being blamed or judged, and nothing positive will happen.

Punch him in the mouth then ask him if he's physically unable to handle you as well?

I know there is a stigma but there is no shame in getting some help together. It can do a lot to get people talking and sharing again. Best of luck to you, OP.
