Work trying to stuff DH around

Keike - if you are that scared, can you tell him? It really sounds like he needs to take some leave now before something serious happens. Call it stress leave - he needs to relieve some of that pressure fast.

Is there someone else he can trust that he could talk to/offload? How does he usually de-stress?

He kinda doesn't, that's the problem. He leaves it, a lot of the time not telling me about it, til he wakes up one morning in tears because he can't face going to work He's applied for a week off on May, but we've gotta get to May. So far his work don't realise he's taking stress leave, because he just gets a generic doctors note. I've told him over and over to tell them it's stress related, I think it would make a difference!

He's just called me, supposedly to talk to me about the argument we had this morning - which is very out of character, he would usually just ignore it, lol - but after I drew him out he told me some more stuff about work. His manager just told him his performance review will be some time this month, to 'discuss some work related issues' I've made him promise to make an appointment to talk to HR about the situation, I guess it's a compromise, because he's really not comfortable going to the MD. I've met with her a few times, when she was interviewing me, and she seems to be a very competent woman, so I'm hoping it'll lead somewhere and the issues will start being resolved
