So we've been married 9 years, DCs are 4 and 6 now and we have a dog (my idea).
Overall things look good from the outside, no money worries, I've gone back to uni and the kids are great.
DH seems fine to other people, chatty and friendly and he is with me and the kids most of the time. But under the surface he's bloody miserable, mopes around, and this week it's all come to the surface with a couple of rows.
Apparently life is harder than he would want, we are always busy, he'd rather be doing things like renovating houses (he currently works in IT) and not having family stuff getting in the way.
Things that get him down:
The fact I have to walk the dog before we go out for the day (he almost never walks him).
Not having enough time to do stuff in the garage that he wants to do.
The kids being annoying.
I just feel that he is being a petulant child and he needs to adjust his expectations of life and enjoy what he's got.
He refuses to do anything like CBT, hypnotherapy, or any kind of practical solution. He just says I'm laying the blame at his feet.
What else can I suggest? Just go off and be single and do a house up?? It's just infuriating.
