Dh annoys me. We have been together 18 years and have two dc age 10 and 6. I gave always done the vast majority of housework and cooking, and was a sahm when the dc were smaller.
Now I find myself being more and more irritated with dh - the way he leaves his shoes in the way all the time, the way he watches football all the timw, his opinions, his politics, the way he disciplines the dc - everything annoys me.
I don't want sex because I don't feel close to him. On the surface all is fine and we get on ok, though it does seem like I have three dc sometimes. I gave to ask him to do house things etc, he wouldn't think of doing things unless prompted.
If it was just us, I think I'd have left him. But because we have the dc, I have put it to the back of my mind - it's not a thing I want to subject the dc to. They would be devastated.
But can I live like this for the rest of my life? Feeling stressed, low level resentment, like I always have to be in charge and thinking about homework, packed lunches etc?
Can anyone suggest how I can get the love back? I used to love him so so much, and feel really sad now.
Thanks if anyone can help.
