[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm the negative one in my marriage. Would you like some insight as to the causes? For me, at least, it was a combination of being anxious, unhappy and tired. Oh, so tired. I didn't know how to effectively articulate my feelings and my needs. My husband didn't know what was going on with me, at all. I taught myself to say things like, "I cannot stay up with you until 11 and then get up with the kids at 6 am. That's not enough sleep for me. Is it okay if you get up with the kids every other morning so I can sleep later? Also I am going to go to bed earlier than you do some nights, even if it means less couple time." I stopped waiting for permission to pay for the house to be cleaned by someone else, for the groceries to be delivered. I told DH what he needed to do around the house. I started taking time off work for down time, and not to get caught up on house work. I'm so much happier, and when I complain now it's a specific, directed complaint.[/quote]
