Hi all,
I’m really struggling with my husband’s behaviour.
We have gone through a stressful time. My mum died suddenly and unexpectedly earlier on this year, which came a huge shock. I picked myself up and got a new job a few weeks after she died, having just lost my previous job after a burn-out and some extremely unpleasant behaviour I had been subjected to at work.
Since my burn-out, husband has been cold, distant and nasty, constantly reminding me of what I put the family through with the stress I was under at work. In the days after Mum died, I kept bursting into tears and he would say “what now?” for example.
He can’t sit still and is obsessed with going on walks. We’re walking constantly, for miles on end. I’m exhausted. I managed to sit on the sofa this afternoon - for the first time in weeks - and as soon as I had sat down, he was pestering me to go on another fucking walk.
He insists on going to bed late and is then comatose until 9.00am while I wake up at 6.00am, fold the washing, straighten the flat and leave for work.
He’s also developed an obsession with me having ADHD and needed to be diagnosed.
Other strange behaviours is that his driving has gone very bad, very aggressive.
He also talks a lot. He’s almost unstoppable. He will read something and insists on telling me all the minute details very loudly and without taking a breath. This includes when I’m sending emails for work.
He’s driving me mad. I just don’t know what to do.
