I have a problem I hope you can help me with. My husband is treating me like I don't exist. He rarely will engage in conversation unless other people are around to see. At home he is dismissive and often just plain nasty.
We have been married for almost ten years and I know of nothing that could have made this change.
I have asked him what is wrong and he just looks at me as if to say that I should know. This has been going on for three weeks and I am becoming quite upset by it.

WELL, anything or nothing could be the issue. He could have a health issue, although if he is okay with you when you are out, I sorely doubt it. The problem is that you cannot explain or mend something if you do not know what the issue is.
It sounds a little like from your email that he may have heard or indeed been told something that has caused his attitude. Now we all know what I think of gossip and those who cannot help but talk about others. My instincts tell me this may well be the case. In your position I would talk to him and tell him you cannot fix anything you are unaware of and he is being mightily childish withholding the information which could in the long run damage or end your marriage.
Be firm. You are allowing him and possibly others to control not just your history but you future. Stand up!

YOU must have done something. We don’t get upset over nothing!
