My husband is extremely down on himself. His parents constantly told him growing up that he wasn't worth anything and so he still feels worthless. He's gone through several jobs because he takes offence instantly if I or anyone else makes a suggestion. It has affected our marriage to. He has severe bouts of rage in which if I or one of our kids says anything negative he throws things and "acts like a 2 year old" he no longer has any desire for sexual relations. He tells me he loves me so much yet treats me like dirt. If the house isn't perfect when he gets home he gets upset. I love him and so do our kids and when he's happy, things are great. But lately we've had more downs than ups. Please help!

I'm so sorry for the trouble you're going through, Carrie. Is your husband opposed to counseling? St. Johns Wort might not even be a bad place to start. Does he drink or take drugs, out of curiousity? Just be sure that you are able to remain detached in some way & remain aware that his behavior is not what you deserve or because of what you have done.

No, my husband doesn't drink or do drugs and is highly opposed to counseling. He says its no ones business but ours. When he's in an "up" mood, he's great and loving but otherwise it's hell for me and the kids. Our 4 year old is even starting to tell him to calm down. I love my husband dearly but I can't go on like this. Our sex life is almost null and void. I know that's not supposed to be important but its something that we share together alone.
