Hey there, I am new to this site. Not sure if anyone out there can relate. But I have been marrried 5 years and we have 1 young son. While we were dating, DH was kind, supportive, always my hero. But after 2 divorces, he had sworn off marriage and never wanted kids. Anyway 6 months later we were married. Then Bam! Things changed and he found excuses to stay away for days due to petty arguments. We tried for 1 year and finally had a child. During pregnancy things got worst with him staying at his mom's for weeks due to my mood swings, he said. He stuck around a few weeks after DC was born, then he started coming home just on weekends, claiming he had to work late and sleep in the office to save on gas (works in another city). We do have arguments, but nothing physical. When he would come home, I will be so angry I would tell him really hurtful things and he would brush it off. But he would use every opportunity to hurt me back by using callous remarks, being arrogant, sarcastic and aloof toward me and impressionable DC. We use the weekends to take DC to park, beach or family-oriented places. DH would profess his love for us in cards, buy gifts for special occasions, but when he is around its like he just acts the part of father and husband. I try to pretend all is fine cause all I ever wanted was a family of my own and I was even planning on having another child. But I cant go on like this in a dysfunctional marriage. At the same time I want to give our DC the family life he deserves. He loves his dad and he says he wants us to be family. I am so torn. I dont know what to do.
