I have a husband who goes to football all day Saturdays (10am-8pm), Boxing Day and any other day of the week there's a match.
He also does marathons and trains 90 mins 2 or 3 nights a week.
When he's not doing that, he's often reading the sports in the paper. On top, he usually goes out with his friends once a week.
I totally get that he has to have his own hobbies and interests and don't want to suffocate him. But at the same time, I feel like I don't have a moment to spare to even read the newspaper as I'm so busy running around doing things: ferrying children, washing, ironing, cooking and my own full-time job.
I've tried setting up a chores list for help around the house, but my husband just got angry and says he's at his limits and has no time to spare. (He commutes to London and doesn't get home til after 8pm).
I feel depressed and can't sleep most nights as I feel disrespected and unloved and like I'm just not that important. Then, I wonder if I'm being unfair or unreasonable.
Like he stayed out overnight for a work do, and didn't call or even text. Then, when I told him that made me feel upset, he said: "I can't believe we're even having a discussion about this".
I'm so unhappy I'm thinking about leaving. Is there anything I can do to save our marriage?
