On the verge of crying
QuietNefertari Started conversation Apr 4, 2007
I can't cry now, I'm at w*rk.
But I'm exhausted. The Husband is a depressed perfectionist. He goes to pieced over not being perfect at the dance class we go to. He is demanding unreasonable performance from himself, as well as from me. I just don't know how much more I can take. Not only do I have to be happy, lose weight, dress sharply and want sex, I also have to comfort him again and again.
On one hand, I'm not yet ready to give up on him - he is the father of our children, we usually have a good life together. But the burden of him and his sadness wears me down.
I wish he would like himself for who he is and not by what he does. I wish he would not demand perfect performance of himself and others.
How can I convince him to get help?
