[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty much that you simply don't like him anymore. When every little innocuous thing is bothering you this much, what is the point in staying together?  [/quote]

+1. If you can't stand your DH's presence, or try to get him to leave the house, and he has no friends, there are underlying issues that you can't solve yourself, OP.  He has to want to change. You can't change him.  You are incompatible. You have not mentioned one thing you like about him or have in common.  Why did you marry him? [/quote]

I said earlier, he was not like this at all in our 20s and 30s. He had tons of friends and we had fun. He also participated in a few hobbies, as did I. I married him because he was funny, outgoing, loved to travel and had other interests so that I can also have other interests and hobbies of my own.

Now all of that is gone, and I know he wishes it were different but there is only so much I can do. He has to make the effort.[/quote]

This pretty clear sounds so depression. Losing interest in the things you liked. Distancing from other people. Wanting to change things but not being able. He needs treatment. It has to be something he wants for himself.

But if you approach him about treatment it needs to come from a place of genuine love and concern. Not "I'm annoyed that you're around all the time so go get therapy so I have more time to myself." [/quote]
