You do not know what is wrong with him... and neither do we.. I'm afraid he doesn't know it either..

I suggest a marriage counsellor or a couples counsellor..

If you have to fake a heart attack .. do it.. but take him to a counsellor.. cos only then you will figure out what is actually wrong and help him out..

Till then try to atleast get him out of the house .. like just for evening walks..

He might say no.. but tell the baby needs it and drag him out of the house..

Dear Mandy agony auntHI

Its sound like his suffering with depression, these are all signs of giving up. Sometimes when the honeymoon period is over , people tend to get into a habit or routine so to speak, but this is gone beyond that. Do you know if he takes drugs? sadly though unless he admits he has a problem and wants help, there is little you can do to help this matter. I would suggest you take time out, let him see what he will loose if he dosen;t get help. Maybe stay with a relative for a week or two, you need to be around people who care and are understanding for your sake and your child. Leave him some leaflets on the side about depression and how to cope with it, he may realise then what he needs to do for his family, but mostly for himself. If you cant or dont want to leave for a few weeks, try just getting on with your own life around him, let him see you are going out, having fun, being happy with friends when his not around, after a few weeks of this YOU will start to feel better about yourself and you will know for sure then what you want to do and where you want this marriage to go.

I wish you all the best

Mandy xx

Well in a lot of respects he sounds like your average husband! ;-) It's only usually when courting that they pay you a lot of attention so try not to take it personally!

What does concern me though is that he doesn't respond to anything you say and this is no fun for you. You do want to get some happiness out of the relationship. If he is lying on his bed all the time it sounds like he is depressed so it might be worth suggesting he sees the doctor to ask for free counselling, which is widely available now.
