I'm at my wits end with DP and have gotten to the point where i'd rather be on my own. I'm a SAHM with our 1 year old DS and no2 due in Feb. Before this i was a full time student.
On one hand, DP works 40+ hours a week, pays all the bills and cooks our evening meal every night.
On the other hand, he does nothing around the house and complains about having to do certain things with DS. For example, he'll complain about having to do nappy changes when he gets home or having to play with him so i can go do something else, "I've just got in i want to relax", even though theres only about 3 hours between him getting home and DS going to bed, so you'd think he'd want to spend time with him right??
Around the house he doesn't do much at all. He'll take off his trousers in the middle of the living room floor and if i dont pick them up, they will stay there for literally weeks. DP will just step over them. He does this with everything around the house, never really having the consideration to just do things without being asked, and when asked he complains.
I no longer feel like i want to be intimate with him, our sex life has dwindled to nothing and frankly with the inconsideration and unappreciation i feel like i get from him, thats fine by me. Of course he complains about the lack of sex but what does he expect??
He blames the pressure of being the sole breadwinner and being the only one who goes to work for his lack of help. Some days i find this reasonable, on most others i think, he's a grown man who should be more than capable of picking up after himself and sharing the responsibility for our child, soon to be children.
I'm the one always made to feel like i'm just constantly nagging and being unreasonable. Am i????
