I like that miserable but stable. I can relate, but actually I am not miserable, unhappy maybe, but not totally miserable, if I was, I would either move to the basement or leave. We have been talking more lately and he said something that makes me realise he has his own set of resentments with me. Recently my son and his finace called it quits and I have been pretty occupied with that, alot of soul searching within myself due to son being a real jerk.
