[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - this is very helpful, and I appreciate the thoughtful responses and lack of snark. Especially appreciate the people who responded who are men. He is the breadwinner and I’m sure he does feel a lot of stress, and sometimes resentment because of it. I work part time, but also do everything with the kids and their school and our home, life, sports, groceries, meals, taxes, chores, laundry, etc.. so I do feel like we have a pretty good balance, but I also don’t understand the pressures of working.

I do think he probably has some anxiety or depression, but he does not want to get treated for it. [/quote]

My husbands grumpiness is VERY related to sex. If we have sex, it disappears for a few days. I know it's going to kick up a storm, but after 15 years together, i also just know it's true. [/quote]

That's honestly me as well. My gf doesn't give me much and I am a little irritated and a good sex session changes a lot of things. Same goes with her. [/quote]

Np here and I could have written this post except we both work full time. He does some work for our family (drives carpoools) but meal planning and cleaning and organizing fall mainly on me. I had a severe medical problem in the fall partly induced by stress so I know something needs to change. It’s really hard when I’m under my own stress and being snapped at (and now the kids - 8 and 13 - are getting snappy too) to offer sex. I mean we still have sex but I don’t want to initiate much when I’m tired and grumped at. Tonight for the 3rd night in a row he came out, fixed himself a plate of food, and took it to our bedroom while I ate with the kids and cleaned up. The first night I think he was working but now I need to stop it. [/quote]
