Things I don't really want everyone to read about

Lonely

I have felt a disconnect between us for a while now. Right now he's asleep in the bedroom. I'm in the living room on my laptop. I forgot he was here.
In some ways I wish he hadn't come with me. I know he hates it here and I feel guilty, because I was the one who got the job. I took him away from his job, his friends, his whole life. I know he chose to come with me, but that doesn't make me feel less guilty at all. In fact, it makes it worse. He chose to give it all up, and now I feel like it's not working anymore. And I don't know how to fix it.
He doesn't seem to make any effort either. He doesn't even touch me unless I ask him for a hug. Once I tried to see how long it would take him to say something to me. Three days later I broke the silence. Now I don't let that happen. He does start conversations now, but not often. He still doesn't touch me.
I don't know what to do. I feel like he thinks that he is trapped here. I think that he wants to leave but he can't because he's broke and there are no jobs here. I think that he resents me for making him come to this horrible place.
I want to tell him that it's ok. I understand.
I want to tell him to get out, leave, go back home.
Most of all I want him to love me again.
