[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have the phenomenon where ones spouse just turns inward, silent, and uncommunicative towards the family if a grandparent, friend, spouse, or nanny is in the house? And then if alone and forced to be with the kids or in charge of them for some activities, musters up a whole different personality for them (similar to how they are at 8-6pm work)?  Said spouse also sleeps a lot, from 8pm to 6 or 7am, and usually comes home or up form home office to eat, not talk, and crash. Mornings are also stressful for them, they tend to focus on inanimate things like putting out breakfast and then disappearing, never sit down and talk/eat w kids before school.

Is this extreme introvert or a thyroid energy issue or a Split personality thigg by?  It has gotten to be a lonely marriage, impossible to have a back and forth conversation with them (they peeter out, change topic, or get angry), and the kids are usually ignored by them unless I make him doing stuff only with them, no me or other adult.  When there’s another adult around he either walks off or sits with them silently. It’s such a pattern, but disheartening. [/quote]
