DH has had a difficult year with a parent dying and having to sort their house and belongings after nursing through a short but sudden illness. He is only child and has now been left with not parents and also some facts came to light about his father's personal life when he died that have made dh quite angry. He is also unhappy at work and we have young kids so we are generally exhausted anyway (and I have basically been a single parent this year while he is away doing family stuff so I too am exhausted). Anyway it is therefore understandable that he (and I) are grumpy but it is really bloody tiring. We are away for a few days and he is not enjoying anything we do and acting like an extra child - not communicating at all and then sulking when we don't do the thing he had thought of but never communicated. Aaargh- send me patience please and tips for dealing with a grieving/cross/distracted/maybe depressed partner when also exhausted yourself.
