DH has been low level depressed for some years. A lot is related to his work, overbearing boss who constantly shoots him down. I’ve encouraged him to get a new job, put a lot of effort into building him up, helping him, but he’s only ever applied for one job. Keeps saying he will do, but just browses listings with no action.
He’s been increasingly snappy and shouty, snapping at me over little things and constantly shouting at our small kids, for stupid stuff like just playing in a messy way. Just what kids do.
He’s starting therapy but won’t go see a doctor. I love the guy and he is incredibly hard working and does loads around the house etc. But he won’t sort this out and is turning into a shouty grump bag and I can’t take it - especially towards the kids.
I’m feeling worn out and worn down and don’t know what to do. I don’t feel I’ve got anyone in real life I can talk to because we are religious and marriage is for life and anyone I’ve tried to speak to has either told me to suck it up or leave.
I don’t know what I’m expecting posting here, but any kind of advice would be appreciated. I can’t carry on like this but I’m terrified to end it or anything, I don’t want to loose everything we have - I feel totally trapped.
