I was just married May 15. He shows all the signs also we have not made love since the wedding. So I think he wants to be left alone

We are all living in the world 🌎 of social media connections and interactions where people only focus and waste all the time on liking others pictures and leave comments and get reply ! Today's, relationship simply sucks due to this and no real ❤️ love.
