Husband won't stop working

He already gets paid a small salary for what he does. He has worked for the company for years. Finally things started to look up when his boss agreed to a £3k before tax additional amount for working hours outside his normal contract. He is permanently attached to either his laptop or his iPhone (which he even takes to the loo with him). The phone goes off at night at all hours and wakes me up. I do everything in our house. I ask just two things from him. 1. To wash up the dishes (I do the cooking, make the lunch boxes and all other housework) and 2. To come to bed at a decent hour. We both get up early and for once I would like to start going to bed at half nine/ ten o'clock. Once again tonight I am left feeling stressed after suggesting that he turn his laptop off. The third time I said politely suggested perhaps it was time to turn his lap top off and he yells at me and I got told to f*ck off! He talks to me like dirt too often these days and gets increasingly snappy. I really resent him right now. He won't turn his lap top off for me yet if he is due to meet up with anyone else for a night out then it's no problem! I'm still feeling raw after having a miscarriage last month. I don't see how we will ever be able to have a baby if things carry on like this. I feel like I have failed and am not good enough to be a mum. I'm constantly on edge now when I'm at home. Work has become the only place I feel relaxed. I'm disgusted with the way he talks to me and am fuming. Sorry this is a rant more than anything. Just needed to get this off my chest! :(

Do you really want to have dc with this man? If so, you will be tied to him forever. That maybe something to think about.

Also, if you have dc, you will have to do it all, and they will see how badly he treats you, and may copy his example.

What good things does he bring to your relationship.

get rid of your broadband, seriously.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Sad

But... You know that resentment that you feel now?

Well have children and you can multiply that feeling by a million, and throw in a bucket load of anger and frustration too.

Seriously, don't do it. Make your relationship right before you bring children into it.
