Mrs Ding, It is hard, isn't it to feel that you're the one who always has to give support and you don't get appreciated back.It is also extrememly difficult being with someone who is permanently depressed as it makes you question your own role in their lives. Is there ever a time when Mr Ding has been there for you? Is the way you feel now new and sudden, or have the feelings been growing for a long time?
I do think men really take business problems even harder than we do - my OH is very down at the moment because his business (hill farming) is doing so badly because of the raised feed prices. He hardly talks to me and constantly feels below par. He worries a lot about money and because he has his pride, won't let me help out.
I think Elsie's advice is good - can you and Mr D get a little time - even just a couple of hours, to do something on your own together away from work and home? It might cheer him up and bring you closer again.
Meanwhile, sending you a hug and best wishes.
