He’s always been slightly emotionally immature, but I guess it doesn’t show as badly until you actually are living real life with kids, work and stress.

I found out I was pregnant a couple of months ago in the middle of our youngest going through a really bad sleep regression etc, and said I genuinely don’t want to do this - mentally and physically it’s too much. He said terminate but you won’t get another chance in the future.

He promised he’d be helpful, he knows how tough pregnancy is, told me he’d pick up the slack but nope - HG etc have made this so so hard and all I’ve got called is a lazy rubbish wife. I’m still struggling on maybe 1-2 hours of solid sleep a night and I’m trying to do everything perfect and spotless so I’m not a lazy wife but I’m broken now.

He wonders why I never have a laugh etc but I just don’t like him anymore. He’s got a cold today and is saying see you’ve not given me any special treatment so why would I care if you’re pregnant.

I just look at him in a different way now.

Leave. What’s the point of him?

You may or may not want to get the birth out of the way first but this is no way to live.

Do you work?

No, he says if I go to work he will be a SAHP. But obviously as he’s the higher earner I’ve not been able to do that.

Boot him out. He's revolting.

He's a shit husband and father. If you wasn't so far along I would have suggested an abortion. I think you need to end the marriage. I don't think he'll add anything to your life than stress and extra workload. Finish with him and move forward with the kids.
