And when I continue to ask him "well, what should I do or we do" then he just gets mad and then talks to me in a derogatory tone. This is most of the time and lately it's worse.Then I get depressed and feel like our marriage is hopeless. I know he is frustrated because he lost his job 2 years ago and things haven't been the same financially. But he talked to me this way since we got married 2 years ago, just not as often.

I tend to be the more overbearing one when it comes to talking things out in our relationship. My poor husband never says no to me but keeping in mind everything that was stated I'll try and see if he'd like to try this exercise. I'm hoping he does and if not then I'll try to keep in mind not to "force" him to say yes. Thank you for the steps and good luck!
