DH is 35, we have been married for 8 years and have 2 DC under 3 years old.
For the last 2 years he has lost motivation for his hobbies (buidling/restoring a car and gardening) and seems to have lost his self confidence. He says he is frightened of phoning/emailing colleagues at work in case he says something wrong. He has "his areas" at home (shed and garage) where he does/stores things for his hobbies. He is fed up with them because he has loads of stuff that he wants to get rid of but is frightened to. He would love to have a very ordered garage but cannot achieve it.
I have made time for him i.e. taken the DCs out so he has time/space but when I come back he is sat looking overwhelmed by it.
Sorry for long post...
