[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DH sounds like me. I had mono in HS and since then have had constant fatigue. It sucks. If I could have one wish/superpower it would be to only need 4 hours of sleep a night instead of 12+. At any point I could nap. I never wake up 'fresh'. A few times a month I sleep 18+ hours a day.

Having said that, when/if my DH needs help, he asks specifically for what he needs. I think you need to do that. Be specific.

I am wondering if he is also a bit lazy- as I get up and do for my family as needed- but when I CAN sleep in or nap, I do.

(no alcohol/drugs ever for me- that would really make the fatigue even worse I'm sure).[/quote]

IF this is true, then I feel bad for the DH but then he should also have been honest that he would not be able to contribute to having 4 kids.

The reality is that DH didn’t think through this situation — his wife probably wanted the kids and he just said ok because he had no idea.  Then when it happened, he was overwhelmed but what was done, didn’t think it through and he said yes to kid numbers 3 and 4 because this routine of him doing nothing was already entrenched.

OP, I like the idea of your leaving the house.  But you also need to think through what you are looking for here.  Neither of you really thought about this at all.

Also, maybe he can do some other things.  Maybe he needs to start making dinner, or at least doing all the cleanup. Until then, umm, no sex.
 Really, since the last thing either of you need is any more procreation.  Good luck! [/quote]
