Let your husband know that you trust him and will be there for him no matter what, even if his unhappy feelings involve you. Listen to his needs without getting defensive. Respond to him and then share your own needs and communicate until the situation is resolved.
-
2
Give him some space, particularly if he's dealing with an unhappy situation at the office. He needs time to unwind in a peaceful place when he gets home. Let him have some time to himself before you start asking questions.

Support him by always being on his side. Your husband should be number one in your life, and you need to let him know that you are on his side. He needs to know you'll stick with him no matter what.

Ask him what you can do for him. Even if it is only running an errand or making a phone call, you can help take some pressure off him during a difficult situation.

5
Give your unhappy husband extra attention and affection without asking anything of him. Be aware of how your husband deals with stress, and draw his focus away from the unhappy situation. Remember what made him laugh when you were dating and do something together that he loves to do.

i was stuck with a miserable selfish, self centered, egotistical, control freak infact a insecure vile person of a man!!!! I am sooooo much happier with myself now as u can't make a person like that, happy, if they are stuck that way! also he enjoyed making others suffer with his misery and always taking all the air space that it left me feeling suffocated!!! the best thing I did was going away on holiday and it sorted my head out, which led to me dumping the sad fuck!!!! hahaha and now I av met the man of my dreams and i am a much more confident and happier person as a result! ;))))
