Every day there's a new thing. It seems like once he has sorted something there is a new issue. If I asked him what the issues were last week he wouldn't be able to remember. He literally moans on and on about work from the minute he rings to say he's on his way home. I try to be supportive. I listen and give advice etc. but I am starting to get depressed about it. It is like a black cloud descends on the house when he gets home. Trouble is I am a SAHM so feel I have no right to tell him to shut up about it as I know I am lucky not to be working myself. Help!

I would start by asking if a total career rethink is needed because you're concerned he seems so unhappy. Assuming the answer to that is no I would then suggest the time limit idea and sell it to him as him needing to switch off from work for his own sake. Good luck OP, hope it works Flowers

It depends. My Wednesday this week was utter shite (borderline bullying going on) and I literally could not shake out of feeling crap all evening / night.

Things moved on Thur/Fri - and finished the week on a relative 'up', so now I can get more involved in family again.
But - on Weds I just wanted everyone to STFU.
