It could be anxiety but I'm not convinced of it. He is, however, quite unhappy at work and has been for the past year. Although there are places I could go to for support I am holding back from doing so as my H is quite senior and it would probably make things worse. He does seem to be acting as though he's going through a MLC but he's too young for one. Perhaps he's feeling that his youth is slipping away and he's wanting to prove to himself that he still has 'it'. There has been a positive change in his attitude toward our M since the weekend and I'm going to bring some of my concerns up at MC tomorrow. The only downside is that he's away from next week, for 9 weeks. Hell be back for weekends but it means no MC until the end of July (and he goes away in August!)
