Honestly, if I were listening to someone else tell me their husband was speaking to them the way mine has been to me today I'd be telling them to LTB so why is it so difficult on the other side?

He started ranting because I turned Alexa down without asking and whilst I agree it was inconsiderate of me the rant that followed was completely disproportionate.

He complains he's "doing everything" and yet when I washed the dishes he complained that he was going to "do them properly and not like Stevie effing Wonder".

He took the girls out for a walk/bike ride & picked them up a hot chocolate and he's acting like father of the year. This is the first time he's spent time alone with them in MONTHS I do all the school runs (key workers), I sort all their online dance and stuff.

Honestly he's driving me mad, he's such a bellend.

I don't want my marriage to end but I do want some bloody respect. I did tell him his rant was a complete overreaction and that he was being bloody rude I'm not a complete doormat but I do find myself sometimes saying nothing for the sake of an easy life.

How do you feel about him? Do you fantasise about being on your own? Do you think he would go to couples counselling?

Yes I fantasise about being on my own. Half the time I think me and the kids would be so much happier if he lived elsewhere - we'd all be less stressed. I doubt he'd entertain couples counselling because he doesn't see himself as a problem.
I actually think he's suffering from depression but he won't seek help for that either.
