[quote=Anonymous]I'd say 8.  Been together 6 years, have 1 DD age 21 mo and another on the way.  Ask me again this time next year, and hopefully it won't be a 2!

The main factor that makes me unhappy in our marriage is that DH is high anxiety (clinical diagnosis of generalized anxiety and OCD).  He thinks catastrophically, as in, what is the WORST possible outcome to a situation.  That alone would not make me unhappy-for better or for worse, after all-but it's more his reaction to it.  After a pretty big fight, he was in CBT for about a year, and showed vast improvements, but lately he's fallen off the wagon, and really needs to get back to therapy.  He is putting up a fight again, and flat-out refuses to consider any kind of meds (which I supported, UNTIL I went through post-partum anxiety myself, and found that meds helped solved the issue, along with therapy).  So every time I have to reassure him yet again that he's not dying from some random cancer, or calm him down when DD wakes up coughing in the middle of the night, I feel resentful and annoyed that even after multiple talks about this, he's not only doing nothing to help himself, he is closing himself off to an avenue of help that might actually be worthwhile to him.

Maybe it's more like a 7, come to think of it...[/quote]
