[quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with those that suggest an antidepressant. The wanting to sleep all the time is a huge clue. 
Also, here are other things to think about. First, you may feel that you "shouldn't have to deal with this", but this is the hand you are dealt. Find some way to get that perspective in whatever area will spark an interest, reading nonfiction, Scriptures, whatever makes you stop feeling like you're the only one being pooped on. Two books that really struck me were Unbroken and The Boys In The Boat.  Treat this as a medical condition, meaning your husband needs effective treatment. He doesn't get to snap at the other members of the household, just like he wouldn't be allowed to barf all over the counter and say "That's just how I am, folks". Be loving to him. Have sex, there are always things you can do in bed. As for g-rated activities like the park, maybe he doesn't like parks, or doesn't like the parks you do. That's fine. Find stuff you all can do as a family. The kids need to realize that you both have things you like too, and to be included when appropriate and possible. I exclusively pump, and I am not going to tell you to stop breast feeding. I don't think that will solve anything, and I am surprised someone would suggest that. I think a large part of your husband's problem is your attitude towards him. Change that, and at the same time offer him all the suggestions I presented to you. See what combination works. If none do, or he refuses to take *any* action, then think about leaving.
