I think I don't like my husband. I love him, but don't like him. He's a good man, helps around the house, good dad, gets homework done with daughter when I'm working, and usually is very supportive.
Usually.
When I have mood swings, he is not always understanding of depression issues. I have had a couple of rough days, he thinks it's just a matter of staying on track and keep on keepin on. I know he's not a therapist, and I don't mean to completely "check out" I can't explain myself and how I'm feeling. I sleep a lot! He get mad, says I'm lazy and selfish (am I just these things?) then I feel worse etc...I've given him posts on depression, he doesn't read them. We (me)
Need counseling, it seems like a mountain to get started.
More talking, and opening old baggage. He can get very defensive and I try to be diplomatic in any criticism, then he plays dumb "what did I do?" He'll say. It drives me crazy (sorry) how does everyone else get by with a complacent spouse
