My DH is really unhappy. I think he’s suffering from some low level depression, possibly somewhere on Autistic spectrum. He never laughs anymore, doesn’t seem to enjoy anything, hates his work, constantly negative, has little tolerance for noise or mess from the kids, constantly snappy at them and me.
There’s so much backstory I don’t even know where to start. He’s a good man, but completely bound by rules (Legal or moral), he can’t break them and can’t cope with me or kids or his boss breaking them. Lockdown has exasperated everything, and I’ve felt like not even been able to go out the house.
He does loads around the house, and loads with the kids, there’s just no fun. I’m worried it’s affecting the kids, he seems to particularly pick on my eldest who is a massive free spirit.
How do I work through this?
