I knew DH was feeling down about not being home for the holidays. But he actually admitted yesterday that he's feeling depressed. I've been really down lately myself, but more because of an overwhelming amount of stress from work and keeping our house going. I just hate knowing that he's depressed. He's usually a happy-go-lucky person that rarely has a "bad" day when he's home, so it just makes it that much worse knowing he's dreading every moment he's there. I try to put on a happy face when I'm talking to him but he just sits there looking sad and depressed. Family and friends wanted to send him something but when I'd ask what he'd like to receive he just kept saying don't send me anything.
I feel like as his wife I should be able to make him happy, but I honestly don't see anything I can do to change his disposition.
Re: Don't know what to do...
Thank you for all of the e-hugs! I wish I could express how much it means to me to have you ladies to reach out to during this time apart from my husband. I hope that the next few months fly by!
