DH and I have been married nearly 10 years and have two DC (5 and 3). On the whole things are good and we have fun. He makes me laugh and can be very thoughtful and considerate. But there are times when he disengages. He can sulk for a long time over something very petty and seems to resent having to spend time on his own with the children. We both work full time but I do the lion's share of housework and looking after the children. This rankles but most of the time I accept it and we bowl along. Every now and then though I start to question how happy I am. I don't want to leave him but there are creases I'd like to iron out and I'd like him to truly appreciate all that I do for him and the children. Would counselling help us? He's not big on talking about his feelings but I think he needs to be open to the idea that we need a bit of help. Otherwise I worry that the periods of sadness on my part may become frequent enough to be a problem. I DO love him but there are times that I question how long I can carry on bottling it all up and not having a proper conversation about anything. Sorry for waffling. It's been a long day of sulks and I'm so tired.
