Question about Partner

Is he talking under his breath, like about the house full of children. Or is he responding to himself and stuff? It could be psychosis, which would need medical intervention. My husband has depression, and I kind of think bipolar. But I haven't ever seen him talk to himself, so that makes me lean more towards just depression.

Have you mentioned it to him?

Maybe he’s rehearsing the conversation with himself before he mentions it to you or someone else?

Not going to lie but some people do this. I do this just normally not around other people lol. I feel like if someone was there they’d think something was wrong like in this situation. My dad is like it too but he does do it around others so maybe it’s something behaviour wise that he has learned from parents or someone else? I usually talk to myself when I’m redecorating even ask a question to myself and answer it and make like an out loud plan. I don’t complain out loud tho. My mum actually complains aloud because she wants to be heard without having to approach the topic. Maybe he’s sort of hinting he wants to speak to you about it or someone else but doesn’t want to approach the situation. Definitely approach him, ask him if he’s alright and if there is anything he wants to discuss. You could say “I heard you say how it’s a house full of children, is there anything you would like to talk about? Is there anything on your mind?” Let it be open, and if he wants to talk

He will. If he doesn’t want to talk about it then perhaps he complains a lot without giving it much thought? Especially if he’s done it before, is there a chance he thinks no one is actually listening when he says something? Maybe he feels unheard. But I do see it as a slightly aggressive thing to do. Tell him it would be much easier if he could come to discuss any issues he has off the bat because you’re not going to be able to understand how he’s feeling if he doesn’t actually talk to you and maybe over time he will stop complaining out loud and actually just talk to you about stuff
