I've started wondering whether H has ME or is depressed. He claims he isn't the latter. He is on medication for it anyway. He is always exhausted and has v little oomph. Any small demand on his attention feels like a huge one. He's seeing a doctor tomorrow.

We are managing to be together much more harmoniously than a year ago but it is difficult for me with him being so tired all the time. He says he feels as if he'd need to be on holiday for a year to catch up. I end up feeling like a single parent and feel resentful.

He's going away for work next week. In a way, that's easier because I am a single parent and don't expect his help.
