What's happening to my marriage

Hi all
So I'm getting the feeling that my marriage is slipping away. A lot of things are going on at the moment and I just get thr feeling my other half doesn't care. I was recently made redundant due to Covid so I'm trying to find another job which is very difficult in the current climate. I spend most of the time looking after the kids and rarely get a break. My OH has not been well so I've also been doing everything else as well as trying to look after them. We also have an issue with the F-I-L health as well. All this while I'm battling depression. The OH gets in a right old mood with me for actually trying to relax. I fell asleep at 18:00 the other day and OH came in and woke me up then stomped on downstairs sighing and huffing and puffing their very snappy as well. It's all getting too tiring for me now. I've tried talking but just get fobbed off all the time and told I'm being selfish. I don't really know what else to do. I don't want to leave as I love my OH but I can't carry on with things the way they are. Any help or suggestions would be grand

Have a blunt chat about how exhausting it all is. Lots of jobs as a science technician change areas ? My husband moans when I fall asleep as well god knows why. Have a romantic date night in the house when kids are in bed with a bottle of wine xx

Huffing and puffing and blowing the house down isn't a very good communication strategy, is it?

That aspect needs to change.

You sound very low. Do you think a walk with your children tomorrow might help?

Maybe give the job searching a break for a bit and do something which you enjoy doing? Concentrate on what is important for you.

If you and your husband love each other, then you'll both find a way through this. I hope others will be able to offer you more advice. x
