Sisabel, your husband sounds difficult for sure, but also supportive of you, so it seems you have a mixed bag. Yet you spend more time apart than together and he is too grouchy, moody and doesn't want to see people. It does sound like an unhappy marriage in my opinion, and I am soooo very sorry to hear this.

You could branch out even more and make your own friends, get out of the house even more than you do, but that will lead to even more separate lives. And yes, I think it's indicative of trouble in the marriage when two people generally spend more time apart than they do together, and on purpose.

I don't have the answers, but I feel for you. It's not an easy situation, and I do see the positive aspects that he gives you. He's just plain difficult!

Only you can decide what you can tolerate and how much you're willing to put up with. Life is short -- far too short -- to be unhappy for a prolonged period of time.

And it's not you -- these are real issues in the marriage that seem to stem mostly from him being the way he is.
