Partner Problems

Hi. My partner is getting me down. He comes home early from work some days with a headache and goes to bed for several hours then when he gets up goes to the gym! Surely if he's had a migraine he wouldn't be able to face doing exercise. At the weekend he often says he's under the weather and needs to lie down which lasts 4 or 5 hours then he'll stay up late playing on his PlayStation. Sometimes if he's working from home he'll have a three hour sleep during his shift. He's had blood tests and nothing has shown up. I've asked lots of time if he's depressed and he says
Not. I'm looking for advice on how to live with someone like this. We have two children.

Has he been to his gp? Could be low iron? Or maybe he can't be bothered to partake in family life and spends his energy doing what he likes instead.

Is he an equal partner and parent, does he take equal responsibility for everything that needs doing?

He has a good job and earns more than me. I work part time and do everything else and I mean everything else. He says I only have to ask him to do something and he'll do it but then when I do ask he says I'm bossing him. Yes he's been to Gp and they can't find anything wrong. I've told him to go to his parents for a couple of weeks as I'm at the end of my tether and he said no and went back to bed.

Sounds like you have 3 children. He obviously doesn't want to be a father. What's your housing situation, own/rent etc? Joint names?

Yes it feels like it. Would have to sell up if we split. Luckily I've got good support from my parents.
