I feel trapped

I have posted about my marriage before as it has not been good for a while, but I am now getting really concerned about the way I feel. Since DH, DD and myself moved in with my Mum and Dad last month DH has been much calmer and much nicer to me, but things are still not right. We are planning to buy a house with my Mum and Dad (who are fantastic by the way), which was supposed to allow me to just work part time so I could be with DD until school age, now DH is far more insistent about me getting FT work. I have nothing against working hard, but I do worry about leaving DD all day with strangers, I have even decided that it would probably be best to not have another child for this reason (although I always wanted another, DH doesn't mind either way). These things I could live with if not for the blatant fact that I know I do not love him anymore. We have been together for 8 yrs, married for 4 and the last 15 months have been hell on earth (DH very moody and nasty, couldn't cope with arrival of DD and me being a SAHM). I have stayed with him through thick and thin, but all the love I had for him has gone, I care about him and still like him up to a point, but I just can't bear the thought that this is the rest of my life. Because of our marriage probs I am highly stressed and am unwell alot as a result, I find myself frequently wishing I was on my own as I cannot stand making the effort anymore, I feel so trapped, has anyone felt like this before?

Why does he want you to work f/t? For money reasons? I think you should follow your instincts as best you can - if you want to stay at home with dd, then if it's possible, that's what you should do. Glad you've got the support of your mum and dad.
