[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is currently spiraling now. It’s bad. I know he doesn’t want to be here anymore. He’s emotionally abusive to me, angry all the time, and absent as much as he can be. Meanwhile, I’m trying to keep the kids, house and my own work going. It’s depressing.[/quote]

This is mine- I could have written it except mine has turned on the kids. I’m talking to lawyers now because I can’t believe the 180 he’s taken. He used to be happy and fun!

He’s so angry and even when he’s physically present, he’s absent and mad when asked to engage. We have elementary aged kids and I don’t understand how anyone can be angry and checked out with kids that are at such a fun and capable age but still cute and charming. And yet he is. And he thinks everyone is making him like this instead of seeing it as a choice he’s made. [/quote]

NP here and exact same situation. [/quote]

I can’t put into words how much it means to see these replies. I really and truly thought it was just me and it was maybe even my fault. [/quote]

OK but why not think harder about how to help DH overcome his psychological crisis rather than just filing for divorce?[/quote]

I don’t know which PP you think you’re replying to but I’m not one that is filing for divorce. Yet. I do have my ducks in a row because if he doesn’t put any effort into our shared family life beyond earning money, what’s the point? I have my own money. I want a husband for shared experiences, companionship, fun, and support. And my kids want a dad for those reasons, too. Not for his job title.[/quote]

If you were going through a rough patch mentally, would you want him to have this attitude about you?[/quote]
