Hi, hopefully I can keep this short.. Doubt it.
I am feeling really unhappy in my relationship. My husband and I aren't intimate at all, it's been months. I have lost nearly 5 1/2 stone in the past year and get 0 comments or compliments. I feel completely unloved.
There is more to this....
My DH is terrible with money. He bought a new car and put £50k down on it without even discussing it with me. This was money we had for a deposit on a house which looks like it will never happen now. He sold the car at a loss so bye bye house.
He also sticks his head in the sand ALOT. We have had bailiffs round with permission from the courts to come in and sieze goods. We have 2 young children and luckily my parents bailed him out. He never talks to me about anything, he lies saying things are fine at work etc when clearly they aren't. I'm literally at breaking point.
My parents think I should leave with the children before things get so bad than my credit profile is hit (I work in finance) but I love him and he is an amazing dad I just don't like him very much for all the stress and upset he is causing and he never, I mean NEVER admits to being wrong, it's always someone else's fault.
My eldest is nearly 4, do I get out before they are affected?
HELP, please!
I'm fully aware this sounds all about money and quite shallow but it really goes a lot deeper. Communication, affection, attention ....
TIA

He is SE and was earning a lot more than that but isn't now. The fact that he tried to keep it a secret told me a lot

OP have you changed your username mid thread?

I fail to see anything lovable about a person who would divert family savings to a deposit on a very expensive car whilst owing £thousands to their ILs and the bailiffs are knocking at the door. Despicable behaviour.

RMG7392 · 04/07/2016 19:52

Yes sorry, for the confusion. This is me

ThisIsStartingToBoreMe · 04/07/2016 19:53

Why did you do that?

Confused

You will never be able to trust him. He has no respect for you. Have a bright and happy future without him, be strong, show your children how to live an honest life, you can do it!

Thank you for all of your advice. Seems unanimous. Time for some difficult conversations and months ahead then.
