Hi all,
Me and my partner have been together for nearly 9 years. During that time we haven't had any major fall outs but I can feel one brewing if things do not change.
Basically, I work full time which is about 3 or 4 12 hour shifts, some of which are nights. My partner is a SAHD with my 3 kids, one of which is autistic and needs near constant supervision. I've been both a SAHM and a full time worker and I know how hard he has it. I personally prefer working and I can't blame him for finding life difficult but I've told him to look for a job himself if it's too much but he doesn't try.
He's miserable and depressed but won't go to the gp. He says he finds it all monotonous, which it is and fed up of having no help. I've literally just come off from working 3 night shifts in a row and I've needed some sleep, I'm now trying to help as much as I can.
He is shouting and snapping at everyone and it's making us all feel like shit. It's not fair. The kids are misbehaving, one because they're bored and two, they pick up on the energy in the house.
I just don't know what to do because I'm exhausted of it all. Every single day off I have is ruined with his mood and its just not fair.
This is mainly just me having a moan because I don't know where else to vent.
