I've been with my partner for nearly 8 years and I'm currently pregnant with number 4. My partner doesn't work and I work part time since having my LO, I feel like my partner is not trying hard enough to get a job as we are struggling on my wage, I work 4hrs a day and when I get home I need to do everything from housework to putting the kids to bed he just sits on his phone or play station and I've tried talking to him but nothing changes, he's obsessed with fishing he doesn't drive so 9 times out of 10 I need to take him and pick him up. He has went fishing with his friends every weekend for months and never spends time with me and I hate that I get he needs time to himself but what about me? I never get time to myself.
On a weekday I get up early whilst he lies in bed I feed the baby and get my two older kids ready for school then I go to work and he gets up to take them to school, I'm exhausted, if I have a annual leave I need to do everything from the minute the kids get up to the minute they go to sleep.
How can I get him without being the nagging wife (not married) to help more, apply for more jobs and to not spend every weekend fishing, I don't mind him fishing but when he goes a few days during the week after I've finished work and then goes on the he weekend too it bugs me. I have a weeks annual leave next week and I'm tempted to cancel it just so I can get those 4hrs to myself
- I have tried to get more hrs at work but got declined and if I get a new job I won't get maternity pay
