[quote=Anonymous]Im pretty sure DH is depressed and has been for the last two years. His self confidence is in the toilet, gained a lot of weight, thinks he's stuck at his job, health issues (due to weight) and constantly refers to himself as a loser. But he refuses to get counseling or make lifestyle changes and the job search is half hearted. I went to counseling six months ago for about three months but it didn't really help.

I'm not looking to divorce him or anything but I'm so tired of having to do everything (work full time plus all childcare, cleaning, etc) plus constantly reassuring him - no, you're not a loser, yes the kids and I think you're wonderful, etc, while he just lies on the couch watching tv and feeling sorry for himself.

We are on a tight budget with no room for extras so I can't go away or hire a cleaning service. And mostly I'm sick of being fake chipper and upbeat to try to keep his spirits up. I feel like a hamster on a wheel. We've been together almost fourteen years and he used to be so funny, optimistic and outgoing. I really want to support him but I'm just tired and don't know what to do anymore. Nothing is working and I feel so alone[/quote]
