My husband of 20 years puts me down a lot. He makes me feel that nothing I do is good enough, in particular around preparing meals for the family. I do most of the cooking, plan the meals, washing and general housework. He offers a critical comment, grunt or trust to give positive feedback but it's always about improving. I am in full time work with a long commute and a lot of responsibility. I should get home and be able to relax but it just feels so tense and negative.
