Basically. I dont know what to do. My partner and i are expecting baby no.4. We both work full time at the same place. Hes been promoted and hates it. But rather than telling them he just keeps refusing to go in. Which obviously comes back to me as i get questioned about day in and out. I feel like this all falls down to me. I'm the one who has to ring in and tell them which obviously i get the shit for it. Its just depressing the hell out of me. I wanna stick by his side. But it feels like everyday we do the same thing over and over again. I dont know whether just to call it a day and walk away from him, as much as i love him i need to think about me and the kids and my health.

He has THREE children to support and is expecting a fourth.

Grown Adults update their cv and apply for new jobs until they find something.
They dont hide in bed and make their mum phone the school for them.

I wanna stick by his side

Why? He sounds selfish and wreckless.
Unless there is serious info missing there is only one arsehole and its not you.

Given the responsibilities of 4 children and the seriousness of ending your marriage/ relationship I'm going to go out on a limb and guess there are presumably other issues too?

So much confusing about this

you are pregnant with your 4th child.
you are considering walking away. Is that remotely feasible.
and you’re considering walking away because your husband is being flakey with work.

why is he being so flakey?
surely he will very imminently be sacked?
and why doesn’t he just get another job?
