Crying - hand hold please.

I'm normally a together person who just "gets on with things" but not today...

This is unlikely to make much sense but here goes. I can't drop crying and feel completely alone and disappointed with my life.

Yes, had an argument with DH today but not over anything major. I think it's more to do with simmering resentment and anger. I do snap at him constantly but I think that's partly because I've come to the realisation that we are not well suited and this is not what I'd hoped for from a marriage.

I hate arguing in front of DCs - especially DD9 as she gets really upset - but we have done that on and off all day.

We fundamentally disagree about so many things - how to discipline the kids, how to renovate our home, how much time to spend with our respective parents (illness both sides) these are just a few examples.

To be fair to DH, he really can't do anything right for me. But I think that's because I resent him in some way for not being more supportive, helpful, loving, just different I suppose.

He is not a talker, doesn't really do emotion and likes to "solve" problems. I need to talk, mull over things and to be supported. And I worry about us being awful role models for DCs.

What a mess. Don't know what I expect anyone to say. I guess I'm just posting because I feel so crap and don't want to share with anyone IRL

Sorry for blabbering on.

Sending you lots of love and hope someone will be along with some words of wisdom soon

Thanks Daisy.
Feeling bit better - for now anyway.

Does your DH recognise these differences? Would you be able to have a frank and open conversation when your DCs are in bed?
