He is not happy a lot of the time but the main thing that makes me think it is that he sleeps so much. I can not get him up before midday. He is not working just now (I am but am on maternity) . He is under a lot of stress for various reasons. I did manage to get him to the dr about a year ago and he told the Dr he thought he was depressed but because he had been in the middle of tests for something else they said there was nothing they could do until that was sorted - it is taking forever to sort that and in the mean time Dh's sleeping is driving me insane.
If I try to talk to him about the impact that his sleep has on the rest of the family (we have to dc) he turns on me and has a go at me about various things such as I don't cook or that I want to have some time to myself when my 'job' is to look after the children. I know it is a defence thing but it makes me feel like I can never bring it up because I will just get verbally attacked in this way and he is impossible to deal with when he is like this.
I feel like it is never going to change and he is just sleeping away his life. He is in other ways great - he does his fair share in the house, is kind and considerate. I just hate wasting every bloody morning we are off waiting for him to be up and I hate being on my own with the kids during that time when we could be together as a family. Nothing I do will get him up but I am so fed up with it. No one I feel I can talk to either hence posting here.
