Moody DH driving me mad

Does anyone elses husband's act like this?

He works long hours in the week and on Saturdays at the moment as he is self employed. However, whenever he's home at the weekend he is so moody!

You know when you can just tell someone is annoyed with you but they say they aren't? He barely speaks, will grumble that there's nothing to do, he's bored etc... Like a child. Won't have a laugh with me and the kids, just sit there with a face on him all day.

In the week he's completely different. But at the weekend he just picks at everything and gets in a mood over nothing. This morning he was in a mood because I didn't make a cup of tea for him when I got up because I nipped to the shop instead to get stuff for breakfast... Apparently he's worked all week and yesterday so the least I could do is just make a brew for him. He's now been in a huff all day because of it.

Honestly I'm so sick of it. I work 9-5 myself Monday to Friday. I help him as much as possible with his business. I do everything at home, cook, wash up, wash clothes, take kids to school, make lunches etc... But he still thinks he's hard done to because he works longer hours.

In the week he's fine but there's something about weekends that just make him horrible to be around. I'm getting fed up now of trying to make it a happy environment for the kids so they don't see it and making excuses for him being a pathetic child.

Just ignore him until he can be a civil human being.

Why didn’t you deserve a cup of tea this morning?
Tell him that you’ve noticed his predictable behaviour and can he explain himself?
This isn’t fair on you or the dcs at all and he needs to be pulled up on it. Don’t accept it.

Has he always been like this, or is this a recent change? Is he happy in the week?

Could there be an OW at work? Huge leap, I know.

You are enabling him to behave like this. You should have gave him hell for it long ago, put up and shut up isn’t the answer. You need to fight fire with fire.

you work 9 -5 so in his eyes that's your working week, butyou also run a home,look after dc etc youare in effect in your 'home job' once you finish work, so apart from sleep you are a in a 'work' situation and therefore work longer hours than him, does he realise that ?
