He doesn’t seem interested

My husband and I are coming out of a rough patch and we’re both trying to be better for the sake of our marriage and family . But he doesn’t really seem all here we’ve been meaning to get a new clutch and kitchen table for a while I told him I would love for us to take it on together and finish . I finally got fed up waiting for him to make a move ( if I don’t take initiative it doesn’t get done) I looked for everything bargained prices and saved us almost 2000 dollars . And I came to him to help with looking for help moving everything and getting the space ready . Not only did he not do that but also was so negative about the whole thing saying it won’t work and really discouraging me. But he’ll be the first person sitting on it playing video games till 5 am … when I told him how I felt he only gives me excuses and the famous I can’t do anything right/ everything I do is a problem … I feel like giving up trying to include him and make conversation . Thoughts and opinions ??

Show your support

That’s narcissistic behavior. If talking with him won’t solve anything then yeah definitely don’t include him. Start doing things on your own. Narcissists hate that. Show him you don’t need him and he may start coming around

When he says “the famous things” I would ask him what is doing really for this family ? and trying to understand his point of view.. I would try to understand how he is committed for his family. That’s would be a good start.
