[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do NOT assume he'd be happier leaving. [b]Generally these people tend to bring their own worries with them[/b]. He's using you as a dumping ground, so please don't automatically think that he's desperately unhappy all the time. Suggest individual or couples' therapy for him, suggest doing meditation, getting a full check-up at the doctor's, downsizing his life, etc...

If he's confiding in you that much and you suspect his wife keeps him on a short leash, do you see the connection here?[/quote]

The type of things you mentioned may have as much to do with him as his wife.  Family vacations can stress me out and lots of those reaasons have little to do with my DH.  A lot has to do with catching up at work after vacations, all the planning I have to do for vacations, having a daughter that gets anxious when things aren’t exactly to plan etc.  I had to sit down and figure out what I could do to mitigate those things like taking shorter vacations so the work doesn’t pile up, having a resort or someplace that I don’t need to plan out etc.  because I was starting to come back from vacations more stressed out than when I left.

You don’t know how he is handling the things that are within his control so I would focus on the actions he can change.
