Marriage falling apart

[Donkeysmall]

I don’t really know what I hope to achieve by writing on here, just someone to tell I guess. I’m currently pregnant with my 4th who was a little surprise but prior to this my husband started suffering with his mental health and drinking more. I feel like the further into the pregnancy I’m getting, the more our marriage is falling apart. He’s pushing me away as well as our 3 beautiful, young children. I’m just at a loss and desperately want our marriage to work. Thanks for reading, feels good to write it down rather than hold in the frustration. Our eldest and middle children are really starting to pick up and the tension and unfortunately we’ve argued a lot in front of them, this makes me feel deeply ashamed. I just want a happy home again!

This is sad, sorry you are having a hard time! Would he be open to talk to someone about how he's feeling? It must be hard being pushed away during a pregnancy, you need extra support.

Im so sorry your going through this. It sounds like he needs to talk to someone or maybe couples therapy? We went through something similar with our family but under difference circumstances. Big long story but we struggled through and now out the other side and things are back to some what normal. My husband wasn't a drinker so no drugs or alcohol involved but never the less he chose to go to therapy and that really helped him.
