hi everyone, would love some advice.
dh and i have two children, age 6 and 1.
I do everything around the house but do not work. my husband works and feels that this entitles him to do nothing with children etc. (same old story).
he contributes to the joint account(so do i as much as i can afford as we are on a tight budget) yet dh still manages to keep aside 350 a month for his hobbies etc. I dont mind him doing these but he seems to think it is his right. same old, same old.
I have known for years things werent great but my excuse was always "well, he doesnt hit me or have affairs etc and he loves me ."
six months ago i found out he did have an affair (3years ago and in another country so almost seems irrelevant). BUT i am still struggling to come to terms with it(think it is just whole marriage i am struggling with actually).
In a way things have been better since I found out because he has been making more of an effort. thing is i just think that i dont love him, or even really like him, anymore.
Am with him for the children but a split seems inevitable in the end. do i just do it now?
dont think dh would be very happy about this as he says he is happy, but why wouldnt he be? life is very easy for him at the moment.
sorry to go on andwould be grateful for any advice.
