No physical intimacy, frequent fights over this. He never says or expresses his feelings.
Asked by Female, 28, Married
Been married for 2 years. It was an arranged marriage. He never says or expresses his feelings. There is hardly any physical intimacy between us. We fight frequently over this. I have tried my best but it is depressing and I am just giving up on him, us and the relationship.

Dear Writer, thank you for writing in. You have shown a lot of courage by reaching out to us. I understand you are upset over the state of your marriage. You have expectations and it is natural to want intimacy and for your relationship to evolve. Have you tried talking to him about it and if you have what is his take on it?
Although you fight a lot, how is your interaction otherwise?
Could you also tell me more about yourself and your husband as individuals? It will help me understand better and guide you accordingly.
Please message back to continue discussing. I am here to help. Regards
