Been with DH 9 years, two children 4 and 3 months. DS 3 months born prematurely in scbu has stomach problems doesn't sleep well. DH helps sometimes but I am becoming incredibly miserable and not sure if it's new baby stress or cracks in marriage. Today is my wedding anniversary, I normally get a card in eve never remembers to do it on morning. Today DH offered to go for a coffee at lunch but had to be back to pub for 2 as he wasn't missing the football ended up wolfing a sandwich and coffee down at lunch. He's been at pub since 145 and no word. This means I will be dealing with children all night on my own all evening as he has been drinking . No prior warning. On my anniversary too. Since my sons been home 9 weeks he's been on two nights our, all day stag doo and goes training once a week. We have to watch money being on mat leave but he seems to spend on what he likes stag dos costing £600 I have declined my invite due to money, anything I spend I have to justify . I try and speak but get batted down. I get very stressed as DS has terrible reflux cmoi, I get approx 4 hours sleep a night for past 9 weeks. when I get stressed he has a go about my mental health ' sort myself out' when all I need is a bit of help. I do all cooking cleaning washing shopping. He thinks being at home with 2 kids is an easy job. I feel very trapped and unhappy. Things are starting to become clear that I don't want to stay like this. He can be very good with children but I don't think it's enough
