Hi everyone,
I have trouble with depression. I'm being treated and it's gotten a lot better. I need to work hard to keep my mood in check. But today my husband and I got in a fight, because he says he feels like he's responsible for my happiness. and if I'm not happy it's his fault. Well this is partially true only because I want to spend time with him and have a companion, but because he doesn't like going out often and he likes playing video games, I do so much by myself or with my young toddler and it makes me unhappy. So in that way he is responsible for my happiness. I just wasn't sure how to react when he said that.

Can you two sit down and have a talk and compromise?

Everyone needs there own time to do what they enjoy but in this case it's effecting you whether you are/were depressed or not.

Yes, compromising seems the best option.. some days he can stay home and some others he can join your activities..

I agree with the previous posters about talking with him and coming up with a compromise. I do understand where your husband is coming from. I always felt responsible for my daughter's happiness and would get stressed out when she wasn't happy. I still do to some extent. Good luck and best wishes.
