[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't about age, it's about incompatibility. If you're in your 30s it means your DH is in his fifties. My DH is 14 years older than me and in his 60s now, and wouldn't do a single one of these things - if anyone's likely to nag, it's me. So if you're in a bad place, look at the actual issues. Sounds like you either need counseling, or you have to decide to do the only thing you control - staying or leaving. [/quote]

Yes, OP. everything you mentioned could have come out of my ex-husband's mouth, and he is roughly 2 years younger than I am. Hey, if you want to stay married, there's a lot to work on. I've read some excellent advice on DCUM for dealing with a hyper-critical spouse. Please look into that. Braver souls than I have worked with their spouse to turn down the volume on that behavior. If this nastiness is new, do you think DH is going through the male version of the change of life? He is in a very different stage. Is there a way to reconcile his increased agitation with his encounter with middle age? This is clearly HIS problem. Is there any way that you can help support him through this change? Maybe taking it from that perspective could remove the burden, the idea that any of this is somehow your fault?
