I am really angry. He is tired, has a bad back, works hard, often away, yesterday he came back at lunchtime having been at a works dinner the night before (he hates that sort of thing). He did not at all ask how I was, he moaned and grumbled about the house being messy (I had done the washing up, but there was stuff out on the sides and the sides and floor needed wiping). I suffer from Pelvic Girdle Pain with my pregnancy and am on crutches. I was suffering badly with my hips and asked him to take our daughter to swimming (5 mins up the rd). He sulked the whole night and didnt speak to me. I went to bed at 7pm, as I was in pain. he put my daughter to bed and as usual had prob 6 ciders or a bottle of wine plus a couple of ciders. When my daughter woke at 6.30 this morning, asking to play on her tablet, (I said no, she cant unless she is dressed for school, out usual rule, she asked for her music on her baby monitor, I said no, as there is a rule that she doesnt have that apart from bedtime so she doesnt wake asking for it in the night, as it is quite load and we wouldnty be able to sleep). she didnt complain any more than that. My DH announced that she was impossible and he is not cut out to be a parent. We are stuggling money-wise and with his back I think he is depressed but I just want him to support me. He is not awful, but he doesnt seem to care how difficult my pregnancy is, he is just focused on how hard everything is for him. He is great with my daughter. He would never go to the drs with depression, his mum was sectioned and it pretty much killed her. So what do I do, do I just put up withhim treating me badly because he is depressed and hope he feels better soon?

The alcohol is a massive issue IMO, could well be the key problem.
