Is this a lot to handle or is it me?

Hello, I'm feeling extremely down at the moment but feel like everyone around me just thinks I should be getting on with it and not feeling as low as I do. Please bear with me as I try to sum up some things that are making me feel this way.
This year had been a tough year for us as a family my husband was on a training course that wasn't what he'd thought and it was very stressful and financially difficult, I also suspect he had some sort of fling (whether anything physical happened or not I don't know but I have lots of evidence that a lot of flirting and lying was going on), I've been managing two jobs to try keep the family afloat, things then seemed to get better for a few months and in the space of a week I found out I'm pregnant, my nan has cancer and that we were being thrown out of our rental as the landlord wanted to sell. Since then we've moved so that's ok, the op my nan had to try to remove the cancer didn't go to plan and we are waiting on what's next, my husband speaks to me like a piece of dirt sometimes and I just feel so low about everything. Please tell me it's not just me who thinks this is a lot to deal with? I also have a 7 and 4 year old to look after too. I'm not coping but no one around me seems to even ask how I am. Thanks for listening x

Oh, @Jettdog87 that sounds really tough. It's outrageous that your husband is being rude to you in top of it all. Have you spoken to him about how he treats you?

Of course it's a lot to handle.
Most people find 2 children and a job quite a challenge, but one that is manageable with a supportive partner. You've got 2 jobs, a partner who is nasty to you and having to deal with the stress of moving and the worry over your nan.
What positive contribution does your husband make to family life or your happiness? Is it worth keeping him around or would you be happier without him?
