My DH has always suffered from depression but lately it seems to be so much worse and more regular.
I often look forward to things like bank holiday weekends but he seems to always be depressed on these kind of days.
It manifests in him loafing/ moping around, being snappy, sometimes seeming brighter ( I dont really trust it because this sunnier mood has gone before I get used to it), uncommunicative, shut down, doesn’t do jobs around house yet irritated when I get on with them, rude/ snappy to me in front of others, lazy with parenting, untidy, poor personal hygiene and just goes on his phone it reads a book.
I’m starting to contemplate ending our relationship. I can’t tolerate the constantly changing and
unpredictable atmosphere in our home.
He does go to therapy but won’t consider taking anti-depressants. Ironically it’s making me depressed and resentful.
Is there any solution?
