He is a very hard worker, and works two jobs to make sure that we live comfortably, because I go to school and can only work so much so my grades don't suffer. But lately, he hasn't been showing me much affection. For about a week or so, he has been quite distant. Not overly, liek ignoring me, but just not like how he used to be. He literally gets up every morning at six to go to work, and I know he gets really frustrated and everything. But I really don't want our relationship to suffer. What can I do to let him know that I really do appreciate everything he does? How can I try to stop him from being like this? Im so frustrated and confused because I feel like I don't matter anymore.

Not saying turn into a huge maid, just help out as much as you can. Tell him you appreciate everything he does. When he walks in the door from a hard days work give him a hug instead of jumping down his throat about being distant. Us woman have a tendancy to jump to conclusions, it's probably nothing. Don't read into the situation to much. He'll snap out of his funk. Smooches, I wish you the best of luck!
