We had a big argument last night. He's packed his bags and gone to our flat (which we normally rent out but is empty). We do have issues - he's not happy with our sex life, says I don't instigate it and he has to (which is true as in not very confident). I'm feeling stressed and depressed because I'm the breadwinner (and have been for 6 years), a situation I didn't choose, and I want to spend more time with my children. This all came to a head last night as I think my issues with sex are linked to feeing unhappy day to day. I feel like time is running out as my children are 8 and 10. We live in London and my view is that if we moved to a cheaper area I wouldn't have to earn as much and could spend more time with my kids. I probably shouldn't have brought it up last night as he was feeling insecure about our sex life but it came out and I got upset and he's said that I turned into all about me and that he's leaving because he's inadequate and a rubbish husband. Maybe I did turn it into all about me I don't know. Anyway he's gone and doesn't care about what I tell the children. What do I tell them when he doesn't come home! I want to protect them. I'm also sitting here feeling angry that he's gone rather than talk it through.
