Hubby seems like hates his life in Age 36

Hubby has been complaining of work, home life, kids…What he tells me is legitimate. There are some really crappy conditions at work and I don’t hold anything against him. Its just he’s always grumpy, always unhappy. He texted lately that he needs an escape from the kids, from home, from work. I know that we all need a break, but this isn’t the first time he says stuff like this.

I just wish he were happy with the family he has and the life he’s created for himself. He isn’t. I saw this short on Youtube where the title was married single moms. Where the spouse comes home and shuts off while the mom keeps going. Earlier this year he went to Spain by himself to visit his brother. I wasn’t interested in going. I really wasn’t, and he was saying at that time that he needed a break. He went, came back, and about 6 months later here we are again.

I’ve always told him that if he needed to leave that I would never stop him. I know that he’s going through some deep shit, and I have to try not to take it personally. I just feel like…its just another blow to my self confidence, which is super non existent anyway. All I can is be patient right? Talk it out if he wants to? If there are any men ready this, give me some insight. We’re in our mid 30s if that helps.
