My husband has been suffering with depression for around a year now. He had one month off work in the summer because he just felt so bad from a mix of the depression and the side effects of the medication he was on. He went back to work and things seemed to be fine again.
This weekend thigns have gone downhill again. He WANTED another baby, he has always said he wants a big family and so we agreed to try for another since he was feeling ok. I told him I was pregnant last week and his response was not only unreasonable and a total shock to me but it really upset me and still does even though he has tried to take it back.
Since then he has been wallowing again, he slept all weekend, he has been lying in bed and he hasnt bothered to go into work he is just lying in bed doing nothing. I am terrifeid he will lose his job and tbh I just dont want to sit with him while he talks about how awful his life is. It isnt we have a great life, orur house is nice, we are not short of money, our lids are healthy and generally well behaved. I dont get it.I am so annoyed with him at the moment I just cant bring myself to even sit next to him let alone talk to him try and persuade him to get up etc.
Is it totally unreasonable to just leave him there all day - he seriously will not get up for anything other than to use to the toilet, last time I had to take him drinks.
unreaosnable to get on with my life and leave him there to do what the hell he wants?
