Relationship suffering

3.5yo, 22mo, 10 wo.

Bbt it's as if my dp and I...we've just lost each other lately. I'm really upset writing this as it's just so up and down. My tiredness/ hormones I just take anything personally. I get angry over silly things, I snap and just take offence easy. I don't know what's wrong with me, /us! We use to just laugh things off but we hardly talk and if we do, we disagree on things. SadSadSad

It's like the love part is non existent. My heart aches that we're going through this. We've always made the efforts. But lately nothing. A peck on the cheek if that to say hello after work.

The 3.5 and 22mo are seeing us be moody at each other, and I have a short fuse so he'll remain calm and softly spoken when I get shitty and shout. Which makes me look fantastic to an impressionable three year old Sad

I don't know where I started to feel like a miserable, stress pot.

Most days I'm great! But the days I'm not, little things tick me off, and not having an adult to talk to in the day and being around three kids under 3.5 it can be tough some days. And it can't just be me because any human would feel a bit brain frazzled. I use to be so chilled. I've had a lot go on the past few years good and bad (in other posts) but I got ,y life back, we shouldn't be wasting time arguing and disagreeing.

It's other things like he'll come home from work and start tidying, or put a wash on. But in my head I think he's saying I don't do bugger all all day. Sit and watch Jeremy Kyle of course. He doesn't say anything but sometimes it's as if he doesn't have to. Then he says well I try and help and it somehow makes you feel bad? I just think well I have to reheat my cup of tea four times in a morning, hold my wee all day and forget to eat, listen to moaning (on a bad day) and wait four days for a shower. This is why I feel moody some times.

He says maybe I need time away from them, do an evening job. And I said no, I need my business start up to be taken seriously then I could make a job out of it.

Sorry for the essay

I think you have a load on your plate just now and it's no wonder you're knackered and stressed out. I'm impressed TBH that you guys kept it so nice between you so far because me and my DH have fairly chewed each other's ears off in the last 2 years since our twins were born.

My DH sometimes does that with the housework, like he'll come in and sigh and get the hoover out, and it makes me really rageous, as if it's like "oh god, you still didn't get round to this?" I wonder, on the housework front, could you and your DH agree on some tasks that are definitely his? Maybe like he could do the day's washing up and the bins or something, and you could just leave that for him to do knowing it's his problem not yours?
