Shadowar
Humble Servant
I really need some prayer. My husband and I have both been battling depression and he lost his job in May which has just added to his. Since then, he's very hot and cold and constantly snapping at me during mild inconveniences. (Example: yesterday I called him saying the AC was making weird sounds and I was concerned. He brushed it off and I took his non concern as a sign that I shouldn't worry. Then today the AC wouldn't work at all. It appears the fan has broken. He blamed me because I turned the thermostat down from 73 to 70.) I feel guilty being at work all day while he's at home by himself (small town without much to do) and so I find myself constantly neglecting household to-dos because I'm trying to make up for time not spent with him and trying to care for myself. I've been asking him to take steps on improving our marriage. Then tonight, during an argument, I brought up how we should start praying together again (he stopped praying with me earlier this year and it's bothered me) and he told me he's not even sure if he believes in God anymore. I was shocked and so hurt.. all I could say was, "you know God never leaves us, we are the ones that stray from Him." And he didn't comment then and there but when bringing it up again he really shut me down. He's had a lot of tragedy in his life and his faith has been declining for awhile now. I'm not sure what to do. I've been praying for so long for God to work on his heart. My husband just keeps becoming more negative and closed off and so quick to blame me. I'm feeling so stressed and overwhelmed with this. Please pray for us.
