We had our 3rd child in November and he is breastfed. Hubby is a bit against bf and thinks that every time he cries or is awake, it is because he is hungry and therefore needs a bottle. We give the baby a bottle last thing at night which allows me to get to bed first. Since DS was born, hubby has slept in the spare room every night (even during paternity leave and hols between Xmas and New Year) to 'get some peace' as he puts it. I am a bit annoyed about this as it is therefore up to me to do all the nappy changing, settling and seeing to two other children should they wake (the spare room is a bit away from the other bedrooms).
Last night, as hubby was giving DS his 'late night' bottle, I heard the poor baby very distressed and went through to help. Hubby was trying to force the bottle down him (baby clearly did not want it) then hubby yelled at me 'you feed him far too late' meaning my last breastfeed at 9pm. Given that it was only 11pm, he was annoyed at not being able to go to bed. He basically then told me that very soon he would be would be off very soon (using swear words).
I really don't know what to do, to be honest, it looks like the end of our marriage pretty soon. There is absolutely no affection (no hugs, kisses) and he can barely bring himself to speak to me or look at me unless out of absolute necessity. He helps out in other practical ways around the house but that is all. He doesn't see friends (he openly admits he has none) and shares all his deep dark secrets with his mother. I have no family nearby and am at a loss as to what to do. Sorry if this message is sounding like a rant, just needing to let it all out.xx

@Emmasmum40

Thanks everyone for your support. Think I will post this under relationships, sorry I am new to this. Think I am just giving myself confirmation that this relationship is dead wood!

Hi OP, we've moved this into 'Relationships' for you, no need to start a new thread!
