partner threatening having an affair

Hi,
I'm looking for advice. My partner have a 20mth son and together 4 yrs. We have been arguing alot recently. Mainly because I feel he doesn't help enough with our son and I'm knackered running after our running toddler! I dont feel like sex because I'm too tired and I feel like I'm taken for granted and all we do is argue and he insults me. Tbh I insult his behaviour not him when we argue. Anyway we haven't had sex for 5 weeks and he keeps on threatening to have an affair. Ive told him why atm I dont feel like having sex with him. I need to feel loved! I think he needs to have sex to feel loved. This argument comes up everytime we aren't getting on because I dont feel like having sex with someone who insults me. Advice please! I'm insulted further by threats and it makes me even angrier and chips away at my self esteem!

Well done, so glad you didn't stick around with this asshole treating you like that, your little one will benefit hugely from your decision.

Good update OP.
Well done on finding the strength and courage to leave.
Your life will get better and better!

Well done! I wish your family al the happiness in the world. Even though being a single mum is tough, somehow it’s easier to slog alone knowing you don’t have the extra stress of a man child moaning lump!

I think that you will be better on your own. This sounds abusive and if he won't listen to you now, I'm not sure how the situation will change Thanks

I was reading the original posts and just about to comment on how immature he sounded when I saw your post saying you left him. Verbally abusive, and to his son as well? Horrible man! Leaving him has saved you and your DS from a life of misery. All the very best to you 💐

I'm so happy for you and so glad you and your son are now happy and supported.

@missussmith55 Wow! Well done! He sounded like a manchild! Onwards and upwards! 👍
