[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have WFH for many years, and worked pt raising kids. My Dh has been 100% from home for the past several years. Kids are at college, and DH has no local friends or family. I do have friends locally and try to get out of the house as much as I can around my FT job to exercise or have lunch with friends.

I am going insane with dh here all the time and no one else in the house. He has narcissistic tendencies as it is and he feels that my entire life needs to revolve around him, and that I should be his entire life as well. I think this is unhealthy.

He is driving me nuts. He expects me to be at his beck and call. Frankly I’m sick of him being around all the time. [b]It’s little things like him telling me he’s going to shower. I do not care. Or he’s going for a walk. I do not care[/b]. Why does he need to announce his every movement to me? Let’s have some mystery in our lives!   He doesn’t do anything around the house, doesn’t leave the house for days, and isn’t particularly engaged in his job.

Am I just a b**** like he thinks I am or is this a really a unhealthy situation?

I get being put off by someone who doesn’t help around the house or have any ambition/passion in life, but the bolder seems normal to me. DH and I both WAH and will tell each other when we go for a walk so the other knows where we are. We will plan to take coffee breaks together and so we may mention I have a meeting at X time or I plan to shower at lunch or whatever. But we actually enjoy being around each other.

It sounds like you don’t like your DH very much and now that there aren’t kids at home you can’t avoid it.[/quote]
