It's really getting me down. He has cycles of negative thoughts and gets really down, distant, unaffectionate and disengaged.

Happens every couple/few weeks. He blames it on work, but his work isn't that stressful - no commute etc.

We have a 2 year old and been together 5 years, and I feel like a cheerleader. He's better when he goes to the gym and takes b vits but will stop and lose interest. I have to be on his case to go.

I'm sick of having to be around these low moods, they rub off on me. He's never happy or cheerful, he's either really down or just neutral.

It's fucking draining. I would hate my ds to have to creep around his moods or feel like his dad doesn't like him, because that's how I feel when he's down

Does anyone else live with someone like this? Do they try and help themselves as they know the effect it has on others?
