I'm not really sure what I'm looking for as I don't post all that often but I don't really feel I can talk to anyone in RL about this.
I'm struggling to get along with my husband. He says he loves me but I don't always feel very supported by him and sometimes I even feel a bit bullied by him. He often undermines and bosses me about in front of our children .He's not a very emotional person whereas I am , however, I always saw this as a quality of his but recently I have felt so alone and annoyed that he doesn't seem to get excited about anything. I do most of the housework but when he does help he usually moves things that I use on a daily basis and puts them somewhere and I end up spending ages looking for them or asking him/getting annoyed with him. I have tried to talk to him about these issues but he seems to get very defensive and if I say anything like 'i feel you micro manage me' he 'holds up the mirror ' IFSWIM and often throws the same statement right back at me. I just sometimes feel like its so draining , am I fighting a losing battle here ?
