Not looking for divorce advice—just trying to figure out how to emotionally cope.

My husband’s a good person in many ways. He’s a great son and has stood by me through my mother’s illness. But when it comes to our relationship, I feel like I’m always the one at fault in his eyes.

If something goes wrong, big or small, the blame somehow lands on me. Recently, our kid had a minor accident—no one’s fault, just one of those things that happens with kids—and his immediate reaction was to snap at me for not “being more careful,” even though I was right there and handling it.

He may love me in his own way, or maybe we just don’t speak the same emotional language. I don’t know. But I do know I’m tired of being the default target. How do you cope when you’re in a relationship where love doesn’t feel like love—and blame feels constant?
