We've not had a massive row, as such. He's run up some sizeable debts, and kept them hidden from me.
The same thing happened at the beginning of our relationship,12yrs ago. He promised he wouldn't hide money issues from me again.
I don't think he works very hard or tries very hard. Always a bit half arsed. I'm the main breadwinner, mostly because he isn't, not because I want to be.
I feel a bit numb. He wants to have a big row, he's packed bags, told me he's considered suicide, and thinks it would be better if he just left and that we would all be better off without him.
I told him he didn't get to run away and leave me to pick up the pieces. There is no way the kids would be better off if he ripped out the foundations of their life. Told him to bloody man up. Get a proper job, and stop being half arsed. He's 50 this year.
Anyway. Not sure why I'm posting. I feel numb. I don't love him anymore, and am staying because I have no where better to go, nowhere better to take my children, which means leaving (and taking them with me) would just be selfish and not in their best interests. I won't leave them, obviously.
Just needed to get it off my chest. Life's a bit crap sometimes.
