My relationship has been on the rocks for a looong time. We do love each other but my DH is constantly stressed and becomes a very difficult person to live with. I am on my own a lot of the time. We argue a lot and I have cried myself to sleep far too many times. Divorce has crossed my mind.
I work full time and we have a 4yo son. I do most of the childcare. He (DH) is getting better but he still doesn't do his 50%, not close. My job is extremely demanding and many times I feel I am about to have a breakdown.
He is now working away 2 days a week and since then has made a lot of efforts re. things that were very important to me. We have spent more time together etc etc. The last months, for the first time in a very long time I felt happy.
As it happens, I am pregnant. Totally unplanned, obviously.
I have no idea what to do.
I am basically looking for positive reassuring stories where a second baby worked in favor and not against a strained relationship. Or am I just being hormonal and delusional?
