I usually post on MN about my DC but tonight I'm asking advice about my relationship with my DH..

Everything seems so hard at the moment, we are constantly bickering over the slightest things, maybe cos we're tired dealing with quite erratic kids who are from the 'can't sleep, won't sleep' world. I think the lack of us time due to kids not falling asleep till 9.30 (one about the start school, other is a toddler)is a big factor, it's stopping being togethr as we are so bloody knackered!

The bickering is getting so bad he has said he is only for me because of the kids- that has been quite hurtful and then he has retracted what he said and said he loves me. I'm not the most easy going person and do get picky/frustrated/OCD over domestic chores and kids but whereas in the past he would have been quite accepting of my moods he is now just as moody as me.

I think there is someone at work who is close to, she is young, carefree and flirtatious and maybe I'm being paranoid but can't help thinking he is comparing me to her, I've put on weight and really don't feel attractive, sex is out of the question (he has criticised me for not being tidy down there, but don't have time with the kids), I'm just starting to feel really lousy, maybe he should leave but I'd hate to bring my kids up without their father present and besides I love him, I think..

He went for drinks with a pal tonight, came in had a go at me about place being a tip and has now fallen asleep downstairs, can hear him snoring.

Not sure what advice I want from you MNers, I think putting down my anxiety has released some of my tension and sadness.

Hope someone has some uplifting advice, do you think we still have a chance or should he go? I just feel awfulSad

Louise, Dalby, are you the same person? Are you okay?

Op, what is all this - "you have let yourself go down there"?

What is wrong with some men these days that they are put off by a bit of pubic hair and can take it as a personal slight on themselves if you are not walking round with a Hollywood wax?

Do be wary of this work "friendship" of his. It is classic behaviour to turn against you in this way so he can then justify an affair (without him necessarily realising he is doing it).
