It sounds to me like your husband is seriously depressed! Anytime anyone prefers to "hole up" in a bedroom for 5+ hours, there's GOT to be some depression.

Why not ask him to have a checkup at the doctors? He might be more apt to discuss it with the doc than with someone else. Or the doc SHOULD be able to see that he's depressed.

I know alot of men don't want to go to therapy, but encourage him to try a few sessions. It sounds like he needs some help.

In the meantime, don't hound him for answers -- try to stay upbeat and positive. I know that can be difficult, but it may help. I hope he'll at least see his doctor, if nothing else. Best of luck & God bless. Hugs, Lee
