He's even refused to spend time with our 4-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter, claiming "That will deflate my ego".Everything he does revolves around his ego, or making it bigger. He even won't eat certain things, claiming "it ain't good for my ego".I've tried talking to him but he just claims that his ego needs looking after.I suggested going to Relate or couples counselling but he said "Pah, now that WILL deflate my ego a lot!"This is stressing me out. How do I get him back to being the good loving father and husband he used to be?? Reply to this Question

reader, anonymous, writes (28 November 2008): What? How old is he? Does he know that it's bad for his "ego" not being a good husband or a father? Bad for his "ego" to even go on about his "ego"?Ego should be built in the right way, accepting and completing your responsibilities in life to best and being proud of that. He's a father and a husband and he should fulfil his duties as a husband and a father.Really all this doesn't sound good and a bit OTT, is it possible that he has suddenly developed a mental issue? In this case maybe a psychiatrist/therapist can help.
