            :mad: MEN! What's that saying ? ' Can't live with 'em, can't live without ' 'em'. I suggest just ignore him & let him sulk. If he's anything like my OH by tomorrow morning it will be as though nothing was wrong.
 That's because a lot of men don't tend to carry over acrimony from one day to the next. That was yesterday, now is today, and tomorrow will be a clean slate too...At least you can come on here & vent- most men just bottle it all up.
 You just need to be able to ask questions without them seeming to be accusations... "Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI) "Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

            Thanks Zed - it's just when someone sinks into a depression every time they are faced with spending 2 full days with you, you do start to think that maybe it's you (er, me, not you.....if you see what I mean).
 I'm not really sure what to say about his drinking - he's not drinking exessively and getting drunk (he gets breathalysed regularly at work, and if he failed he would lose his job, so he can't), but he does drink most days. Difficult to tell if he is using it as some sort of crutch or not - probably a bit, but not so much I would say it was a problem.
 Thanks for the hugs - he has woken up so am going to try to use the problem solving techniques we have been learning about today on my course and see if I can get to the bottom of it a bit.

 So he's a happy soul during the week?
 Spending two days with me would be something worth getting depressed about...I'm not really sure what to say about his drinking - he's not drinking exessively and getting drunk (he gets breathalysed regularly at work, and if he failed he would lose his job, so he can't), but he does drink most days.
 Is this more than he used to?Thanks for the hugs - he has woken up so am going to try to use the problem solving techniques we have been learning about today on my course and see if I can get to the bottom of it a bit.
 Is that the "removal of fingernails" technique?I will not get cross

 Be unemotional about it. Problems are solved by logic: The aeroplane was not invented by shouting at a pile of wood...

            maybe he is just tired snaggles, I sometimes have to spend 4/5 hours a day driving to and from meetings for work and find it really draining. maybe he needs more exercise - I know it sounds mad but it helps.
 Hugs to you anyway, tomorrow's a whole different day and it'll be a good one for you I hope. xMortgage OP 2025 £7500/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
