Well, it's bank holiday Monday, and yet again I'm at home while my husband is at work, (unpaid). He gets paid for a 35hr week, but does 9am to c8pm Mon - Fri, plus weekends, bank holidays, Easter, you name it, it seems he just has to go into work. I use to blame work / his boss, but recently I've come to realise that it's him. I'm 7 months pregnant, and he swears he will change when the baby comes. I don't know whether to believe this. He has tried to be better in the past, but it has lasted a month, tops, then he slips back. In the meantime, I'm working full time and doing all the housework. Plus he stands me up all the time, promised lifts home (even in the dark)and days out together very rarely materialise because he 'gets caught up' at work. What's worse, my brother has just had a baby, and because he lives near my family, they ended up all at the hospital practically having a party...and I wasn't there, nor have I been yet, as I couldn't face the long drive back by myself, (5 hr round trip) and my husband says he's too busy to come with me. Yet he can suddenly find 2 days off to spend with his family.It has suddenly struck me how isolated I will be if he doesn't change. I know I sound like a clingy saddo waiting at home for my husband to come home, believe me, I do have a great circle of friends and several hobbies that get me out of the house. But I love my husband, fancy him rotten and he is my best friend, so I yearn to spend more time with HIM.
Anyone else been in this situation, and what did you do about it?
