Just a bloody miserable house

[always2323]

Just a moan.
Sick of my miserable house!
I get up feeling fine, content with the day to day family life shenanigans. But my other half gaaaaaawd, misery, misery, misery.
He is only happy when he's at work or at his mates! He hates being at home, sighing every minute, moaning, watching his phone, moaning about the tv being boring, moaning about the kids moaning. Taking himself to sit upstairs alone because he's bored, telling me he can't wait for the kids to grow up and move out. Getting on at the kids for being annoying kids like they're supposed to be. From morning till night he can't crack a smile. I just want a blood chat from him or a laugh but Jesus, he can't even do that. Even the kids are struggling with him.
Sorry for moaning, he must be rubbing off on me.

God he sounds horrendous! Why didn't he do something with the kids instead of moping about being annoying and miserable!

Venting is all well and good but the underlying problem i.e him remains.

Your household is miserable primarily because of him.

Why are you allowing yourself to put up with this crap behaviour from him this fun sponge?. Your kids are also struggling because of him. What message are you sending these children if you as their mother are also tip toeing around him?.

"...telling me he can't wait for the kids to grow up and move out"

How about getting the miserable bastard to move out himself and not making your poor kids put up with him.

telling me he can't wait for the kids to grow up and move out

I'll bet the kids feel the same.

As soon as they're old enough you won't see them for dust.

Is this usually on a Sunday?
My husband used to be so miserable on a Sunday as he hated having to deal with shit at work on a Monday.

I can tell that my depression is worsening when I start writing things like this in my diary. Is he just a miserable bastard or is it something deeper? If the former, leave him if he refuses to cheer up because no-one deserves to have to live with that all the time; if the latter, tell him to get to the doctor's.

Oh I could have written most of this. I've tried to talk to DP today but he's ignoring it as he doesn't want to face facts. Thing is kids are 10 and under and we aren't married. I bloody put his name on the birth certificate so shit gets complicated if he wants to be a dick.

He's not depressed, he's just miserable. I get that kids can be a pain and he says these things in frustration but I've told him many of times that if he's not happy then he can go. He stays put 😂 neither of us can afford not to go though 🙄 just wish he would cheer up a bit, he's as boring as a white wash.

My dh was like this and I left. I cannot tell you how much better life is without him acting like a dementor. I realised how on eggshells I was. Absolutely no violence or threats etc. just a grumpy bastard who likes peace and quiet and kids and family life don’t fit that.

Glad you're happier now. No abuse here either, just miserable. Even on holiday, miserable. Everything is pessimistic. And I can't tell you how much him playing candy crush on his phone pees me off. He's been playing it for 12 years 🙄
