I am so fed up !! Cut a long story short second marriage a few kids between us . We bought a new house to accommodate the amount of kids we had and I rented out my former home which I had already. I have just signed to have new tenants in mid December and started to regret it. I am fed up to the back teeth of doing everything in our house whilst my husband sits there either playing on his iPad or reading . It’s been going on a few years but it dawned on me things are never going to change. He’s like the one who you would accuse of not pulling his weight if you had a house share with him. I do all the gardening, decorating, cleaning, washing, look after the animals whilst he just sits and reads and is oblivious to it all . I had to go out to get medicines this morning and got back at 11.30 the kitchen was a tip and all the animals were unfed whilst he’s made himself his third cup of coffee and gone back to bed to read. He’s not interested in socialising ( if we could that is) I feel like I have lost my friends as he’s doesn’t like going out with people . He has a busy job but so do I and I have had enough . I told him today how I felt and he got dressed and now has been out of the house for six hours plus. He always does this if I say anything which he sees as me bullying him. I am well aware of this blackmailing, controlling behaviour. I want to move back to my former home but I am scared now the new tenants could sue me for breach of contract if I don’t go ahead with the let . I am trapped and depressed!!

The new tenants won't be pleased - but I shouldn't think they'd go to the expense of sueing you!
It does seem your best chance of escape and at least only having your own kids to deal with. Don't take the animals with you! He'll land on his arse when at least he has to cook and wash and do the basics. But you can't blame him for losing your friends - go out without him. Your friends aren't going to miss him.
