DH and I have had our issues recently. A few weeks ago, I tried to kick him out but he wouldn't leave! Things started to turn a corner and I thought maybe things were improving. Fast forward to my birthday this week. He took the day off work to spend time with me and bought us a takeaway and Costa. I was a bit miffed I didn't get a card or present but didn't want to come across as entitled so let it go (just to give you an idea: I bought him birthday presents and arranged a party/invited his family over for his birthday). He did offer to buy me underwear from Amazon 🙄 but I reminded him it was my birthday, not his! Anyway, I went out with the girls Friday night and I came home to him waiting for me in bed. He didn't ask me if I'd had a good night or anything so I basically told him I wanted to go to sleep!

The following day he made a snipe about me going out drinking with friends then when I asked him for a lift to a friend's DS birthday party, he swore at me in front of his friends! (This is the second time something like this has happened).

The following day, he apologised and was lovely. Offered to cook for me and mowed the grass! But this time I'm a lot more cynical! Am I an idiot for thinking he can change?

And don’t get pregnant again, no matter what you do

If he’s genuinely crying and talking about suicide maybe he’s trying to tell you something. You both need to listen to each other, but right now he needs some help from a doctor.

I don’t think he’s genuinely crying. All the other of OP’s threads make it sound like he turns on the water works when he doesn’t get his way.

You know what to do op, but it's up to you how and when you do it.

You'll both be better off apart. This isn't going to last long term, so why prolong the agony?
