Today, I feel underappreciated and unloved by my husband. I've tried to bring it up and show him my appreciation, but he responds with, "Well you haven't shown me appreciation or respect once in our relationship. If you feel that way that's on you." What do I do other than divorce? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized my husband of 30 years consistently makes fun of me in front of friends, and he gets mad when I express opinions contrary to his. I don't think he respects me. FML
Today, as with most days, I’m reminded of how little my husband thinks of me. He makes me hate myself everyday. FML
Today, I left my wife of 25 years. For every one of those years, I was treated like a stupid child or a worthless burden. When I finally got fed up, everyone said I was the bad guy. I just want to be treated like a man. FML
Today, my husband of 12 years announced that he wants a divorce and that he hadn't liked me in YEARS. FML
Today, I tried to talk to my soon-to-be-husband about how he needs to take a more active approach in his own life. It devolved to him screaming at me and putting words in my mouth. This has been going on for six months. FML
Today, I finally realized my husband sees our son and I as more of a financial burden than actually wanting to provide for us. Well, now what the fuck do I do? FML
Today, I asked my husband to be a little more responsible, pick up after himself, and spend a little less. I earn more than he does, so it's usually my money that he splurges. He has gone on a non-stop tantrum for the past 5 hours, giving me the cold shoulder, and shouting at me. What have I gotten myself into? FML
Today, after an entire week of doing all the household chores, and feeling under appreciated, I suggested to my boyfriend that we go on a date night, to feel a little more connected. He has spent all day trying to get out of it. I offered to pay, because I just want to feel loved again. FML
Today, I really tried to talk to my wife how I feel that she hates me and is with me out of pity. She denied it all but by the end of the conversation mentioned she wants a divorce. FML
Today, I have a family but I just feel all alone and unloved, almost on the verge of depression. I just wanna cry. My wife is always threatening me with divorce and says she can’t stand the sight of me, and my son hates me. I just wanna feel like somebody is there for me and that I can lean on someone else. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, this might seem a little bit out of left field but you could try showing him some appreciation and respect. If you did that honestly I suspect he'd come to appreciate you a lot more.

without specifics it's hard to say anything, but you both feel unloved and unappreciated by the other, and that's not good. You should discuss your feelings with each other, and both try to be as receptive and considerate as possible, and as you want the other to be with you. Maybe also get the ball rolling and talk about what you do respect and appreciate about each other. If that doesn't help, take some time apart to reflect on and consider how you feel about each other, and whether you're better off staying or going. Only you know enough to make that call. Don't leave it up to strangers on the internet.

If you had never shown it during the relationship then why did he marry you? I call bulls**t. If you cannot fix what is broken because he refuses to try then divorce is the only way. No point staying together if it's a one-sided fix as the other won't try. Life is too short.
