Husband has energy for SGK but nothing for me

I am so discouraged. So I moved out and was supposed to be "dating" my husband. What do I do if he doesn't want to go on dates. He says he is stuck in a rut and doesn't feel like doing anything. I told him that some days I do. All he wants to do is go on the back deck and drink. He even moved a tv out there so he drinks and watches tv out there. I go over and that is all we do. Drink and watch tv. Not much of dating. Not much of a relationship if you ask me. He was gone out of town to see his granddaughter (my step grand) for a week. He sure had energy to do things with them. Then he doesn't call me for two days. Says his charger was missing. I am like what you can't borrow a phone. I told him we are becoming two different people and I am afraid it is the truth. Part of me wants this to pass. Part of me wants to cut ties and start over with someone new. He was already putting his daughter before me. Now it seems like I'm not even a priority.

What would happen if you stopped being so available? He's not making an effort, and it seems like he sort of doesn't have to if you are willing to continue going over there just to drink and watch TV. I would suggest showing him that he is less of a priority to you, and see how he responds. If he doesn't notice or doesn't care, you'll have your answer about whether or not to move on.

how did you make friends? My whole life seemed to revolve around DH. I am trying to get back in touch with high school classmates and old friends but they never invite me anywhere.
