Constantly trying but struggling

I'm really finding my marriage difficult and I feel like it's just getting harder and harder. My husband has slowly stopped being interested in what I have to talk about. He gets really passive aggressive if he's upset about something and seems to get into a habit of ignoring me or giving me awful looks. It sounds childish (and sometimes it really is) but it is really starting to get me down. I don't know what has happened to my kind, caring husband that actually liked me.

If I'm ever having a difficult time with work (we've recently had a huge restructure at work), he doesn't take that on board and think oh perhaps she's feeling upset or stressed - he just gets worse. If I'm ever unwell he tends to get annoyed with me and get all stressed that he has to do more around the house and with the kids.

I'm sorry to go on but I'm really strugging with what to do. I've suggested marriage counselling in the past and he just gets annoyed and says I should go. I've really tried to sit down with him and find out what's going on with him - is he stressed about things, but he just says he's fine. I worry that he's depressed - he hardly ever sees his friends and says he always just wants to do everything with me and the kids. I find it all quite suffocating and feel like I'm living a life with someone who doesn't care about me or even like me. He blames most things on me and get's so aggressive and stressed and the smallest thing. It's absolutely heartbreaking to be honest.
