Relationship

Hey guys I’m in a really big dilemma and need advice.
My husband has asked to have a mental break from the relationship and potentially leading to divorce as he’s not happy with a few things.
He’s not happy with:

  1. How I’m bringing up the kids he says I’m too soft and no discipline.
  2. He wants them to be Muslim even though I’m Christian and he won’t settle for teaching them both and letting them decide later.
  3. Hes not physically attracted to me anymore as since having kids I have lost a lot of weight.
  4. He doesn’t like my attitude to life as I’ve become less fun and not relaxed he said I’ve let the kids take over my life.
  5. finally he wants to move us from Derby to London as he says derby has no life and London is where he feels at home.

I know I need to make a lot of changes in my life as I have changed considerably since having kids and I have become more difficult and not taken care of myself or the relationship, he said he doesn’t feel loved by me anymore and that I don’t make him or the relationship a priority anymore.

What do you guys think and how has having kids affected your relationship?

I want to add that I'm noticing he's started acting single he's been messaging his friend whose a girl about our relationship and told her we have broken up and he's also planning to go and visit her as she lives abroad. This has also put a massive downer on me. I feel so heartbroken and I'm unsure what to do.

Get rid of him.

Sounds to me he’s placing all the blame on to you to justify his own behaviour. Sometimes men just don’t want to be a family man anymore but they won’t admit it. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Tell him to jog on to London then.
