[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like clinical depression. If a DH had posted such a 180 from his wife after a child most here would say PPD. His is obviously not hormonal, but I would bet this major life event, which he I'm sure realizes he was not up to the challenge of, has gotten him off the rails.

Suggest he see his pcp to discuss an anti-depressant.

I'm sorry things have turned this way for you OP. You seem really sweet[/quote]

OP here and I do wonder if he is clinically depressed.  The only thing is that he cheers up real quick whenever I do the chores without complaint.  As soon as I have finished vacuuming and have something baking or simmering on the stove, he virtually skips around the clean house and asks what's for dinner with a grin.  Clinical depression is not so easily lifted, so I feel as if clinical laziness is the problem here.  He was raised by a stay at home mom who did all but wipe his ass for him.  While he expressed disdain for that kind of lifestyle before we had a child, he now seems to be trying to settle into a role in which I wait on him hand and foot like mommy did.  That is where a lot of my feelings of being tricked come from.  If I had married a man who never pulled his own weight, that would be one thing.  The fact, however, is that being equal partners and sharing both the chores and financial burdens was something we agreed on and implemented prior to having a child.[/quote]
