Hey all,

This is my first post here!!

Myself and my partner have been together for 5 years and have a 3 year old son together, were due to get married in September. We always got on great and rarely argued but on and off the last few months have been awful for me.

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in Feburary and my partner was made redundant in May. We have got threw it and will continue to but its so hard. Im a sahm so we obviously were spending more time as a family with us been in the house. It was grand for the first few months but not lately.

I think my partner thinks hes prefect, im the one always in the wrong, will take no responsbilty for any arguement. Ive to basically give up in an arguement because its not worth it to be honest. He would sulk for hours and i cant live in a house with tension so i just shut up and let him think hes way or opinion it right. I don't have the enegry anymore.

I do love him and i know he loves me but im forever walking on eggs shells around him. He never wants to do anything anymore with me. There's more incidents that would take ages to go into and ive probably bored you enough!!

Hi anon27 - sorry for your situation.

Is it possible to have a good old chat with him about why he never wants to do anything with you anymore?

hmmmm, sounds like things are really tough

I would find it impossible to always swallow down an argument or give up every time.. if my partner didn't want to listen, even if he didn't agree, i couldn't do that for ever !

you don't have the energy now.. do you think you've got the energy til death do you part?

Have you told him you find his behaviour draining/upsetting? What was his reaction?

anon27 · 08/01/2011 17:42

Ive told him how i feel but he doesn't get it. He on medication for the last while to stop smoking so i think this has been a factor in his behaviour.

When things are great there excellent. I think were just going through a rough patch.

Yes it is champix!

Hes on them nearly two weeks and has mood swings but he doesn't notice them. I point it out to him but he doesnt realise it.

Im really trying to ignore them but its hard

Champix can be really tough on moods, my Dh has tried it twice, has this been going on any longer than the 2 weeks tho?
