My husband is really irritating me. we have 2 children together, and have been married for 5 years. He is sooo lazy it drives me nuts. He works 1-9:30pm 5 days a week. on the days that he works, he always sleeps until it's time to get ready for work, then once he gets home he stays up all night playing computer games. on his days off he stays up all night and then sleeps until 5 pm or later. He always says that if he takes a vacation day, it's to spend time with the kids and myself. He never does, he'd rather play games with his friends and sleep all day. I am so sick of feeling last on his list of priorities, or not even on that list at all. He also acts like his days off, that he doesn't have to do anything. Must be nice to have a couple days off. I may be a stay at home mom, but I am always busy, I never get a break. I don't think he has ever gotten up with the kids. Every day I wake up at 6 am with the kids, and from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed, I am busy either making meals, reading to the kids, bathing them, playing with them, teaching them, and cleaning. He never gives me a break. Today I asked him to take the garbage out on his way out the door, and he couldn't even do that. So, since we live in an upstairs apartment and the dumpster is all the way on the other end of the parking lot, I have to bundle up both kids and take them with me,when he could have just simply taken it out. And anytime I bring anything up that is bothering me, he acts like he is annoyed. we were going to separate about a month ago , but decided to stay and try to work things out. He told me he would put in more of an effort. it's funny because anytime I ask him for help, he always says "I never ask you for anything" the reason it's funny, is because he doesn't need to ask for anything, everything is just expected of me and I do it, not questions asked. He never has to ask me to care for the kids, I enjoy it and would do anything for them, never has to ask me to cook meals, I just do it, it's my responsibility, and am glad to do it, never has to ask me to take care of doctor's appointments, dentist appointments, doing the paperwork, and the grocery shopping, i just do it. My responsibilities as a stay at home mom make me feel good about myself, that I am actually doing something, but once in a while, I don't think asking for a little break is a big deal......not to mention he lies to me all the time...about little things...but it ticks me off. he thinks that telling the truth to me, i will bi*ch about it, but he doesn't realize that lying about stuff makes me more ticked off and not trust him.....He needs to put in more of an effort, or I might have to leave. I am so sick of feeling like I am nothing to him...He says he loves me, but he never shows it. There is barely any affection between us anymore, except for a little peck on the lips,that i go up to him and give him

Any idea why he is so lazy, and detached? I know he is depressed, but he needs to do something about it. I am seeking help for my emotional problems...it's his turn.
