    I have a lot that I should be thankful for - a wonderful wife, a beautiful daughter, a very good job.

    For quite a while now, things have been getting me down. Finances are strained, but a little belt tightening would sort that.

    Feel like I'm getting older and haven't really enjoyed youth - this sounds crap I know. I used to like meeting up with friends having a laugh, but now I feel work and home life puts astop to that.

    My wife wants another child which I'm not keen on. I know everyone (almost) here will say I'm being selfish but I really don't want another kid.

    Anyway, with all of these small issues, I feel like I'm not as happy as I could be....anyone got any advice, even tellling me to cop on would - I'll listen to all viewpoints....

    Hi, I really don't see your problem? It sound like you have a great life/family and a good job which is what people would kill for these days. I don't know what to say really I aint got a solution because I don't see the problem. That's the best I can do for you lol

    Why would you tell this stuff to strangers online before you would tell your wife?

    just think about that as for the whole feeling down thing its called feeling depressed - Im not on about full blown depression. I mean we all get depressed and its a normal human emotion like how you sometimes feel really happy for no particular reason and this will pass. Just listen to sad songs and have a cry about your wasted youth or whatever and it will soon go away.

    As for having another child you shouldnt have one if you really dont want one but rather talk to your wife and tell her everything your feeling and she will understand and ye can come to some decision that ye both agree on.

    So ya TALK TO YOUR WIFE especially about the baby thing but also about you feeling down. If you have been feeling down for a long period of time (more than 3-4 months) id consider checking if you have depression but again talk to your wife about this.

    I think if you explain to your wife your not ready for another child she will be
    understanding. Make time for your friends and do something you enjoy perhaps a hobby
    or a class. It sounds like your stuck in a rut, once you sort out these things I'm sure
    you will feel better.
