I need advice to help my husband. He says he feels like a drain on our family and like he drags everyone around him down. Idk how to get him to not feel that. I’ve obviously told him over and over that he isn’t and try to compliment him and tell him how grateful I am for him. But he everytime I do he just says “no I’m not/that’s not true”.
I’m very happy with our life but he hasn’t seemed it in a while. He thinks he doesn’t make enough money but we have everything we need. A house, food, clothes, we can go out to eat and buy clothes and can do small trips. We aren’t rich but I’ve never needed to be. I got a social work degree so I’ve never expected to have money.
He also says he thinks he makes me a worse person. He didn’t give me any specifics. I do think I’ve become a little more impatient/reactive since knowing him but in every other aspect I think I’m a better person. Idk what to do but I don’t want him to feel that way.
Has anyone else gone through this/know what would help as a man?
