Staying in a relationship for the kids

My husband can be a grump. Of course we all can at times bur his grumps are like something from another level.

I didn't moan at him it was more a FGS this boot is tiny and our pile of coats is taking all the space up. He then declared that he wasn't helping load the car from the weekend away as I clearly had to do everything myself. I loaded the car while he sat on his arse.

He didn't speak a word to me yesterday from 11am until bedtime and today only said 'what time am I taking ds to football' that's it.

I promised my oldest that I would never leave his dad - he used to get very upset over arguments etc- he's now old enough to understand. I just can't decide whether to suck up the negatives for the sake of the kids having a fairly stable home life... or if its time to pull the plug.
