I’m just over everything at this point

Work is toxic. Home life is….boring. Husband and I have been going through a bit of a rough patch, just not really as close as I’d like to be anymore, barely a sex life, don’t plan activities like we use to with the kids…just dry. I’ve been under so much stress at work. I don’t have any friends to vent or talk to so I’ve just been bottling it all up pretty much. So as an attempt to lighten the mood, I got my parents to watch the kids so we could go on a date today and he’s had an attitude all morning. I just want to sink into a hole and cease to exist, honestly. I just don’t care anymore.

Sorry you’re feeling this way and life is a lot at the moment. Really disappointing that he’s acting that way. I wonder if he’s feeling the pressure too and it’s coming out the wrong way? Have you got plans? Unless he’s being really horrible I think id try to reset and hopefully salvage the day. It sounds like you both really need it. A bad morning doesn’t have to ruin a full day. It’s annoying having to be the one to rise above it, but sometimes I think people get themselves into a bad mood and then feel stupid coming round so just stay in a bad mood out of pride. If you feel there’s no way to turn it around or you’re too annoyed with him (which I can understand) then just take a breather and enjoy some me time alone. Maybe with some space you might even have both cooled off later and can enjoy dinner together?

I would voice my feelings in a clear way, “Is there something wrong? I’ve made an effort for us to spend time together but it seems you’re in a mood. Can we both just try to have a good day?” Or something like that

Go by yourself ! Get some you time. I wouldn’t let his shitty attitude ruin my chance for a few hours Alone.

@Sorrel thank you for this 🥹 I ended up letting him know that I have been feeling so weighed down by everything and that I felt like we both needed some down time, preferably together, but that if he was still going to have an attitude that I would just make it a self care day and he could do the same. Well, I guess that did something bc he ended up coming to me apologizing that he’s been feeling blah lately too, mostly about life and he’s just been feeling very burnt out. So we went out on our date and it was really nice and relaxing, we talked and agreed to a date at least once a month to start getting back to us.

Ahh that sounds great, so glad you guys were able to be open and turn the day around. Hope you’re both feeling a little lighter and more connected. And lovely to try to make it a more regular thing, I think those little touchpoints where it’s just the two of you (not just being mum or dad) are so important. Take care ♥️
