How do you know you've passed the point of no return?

How do you know that enough is enough?

When you love someone SO much, but you're just not happy? When is it time to call it a day?

We have a baby, a wedding countdown ticking. But I spend most of my time pissed off. I don't feel supported, I feel like our child responsibility is 80/20. I do all the cleaning etc while he sits on his phone.

I'm drained. But I don't want to be a single parent. Shall I get on with it?

No, get out while you still can.

He's checked out emotionally.

Either when you realise you are already a single parent or you want to cave their head in whenever they are near you. Sometimes both at the same time

if you're more unhappy than happy, if there is more negative thoughts/moments than the positive ones, if you're not looking forward to seeing him or spending time together
better to finish it now and move on to be happy, than 5-10y later you'll never get the time back

Have you discussed your concerns? Communication seems to be the major problem in most relationship issues on here.

If you are unhappy and have discussed and nothing changes then of course leave, your happiness is paramount for you and your child.

Sounds like you are a single parent.

Sounds like time to postpone the wedding.

JeffJarrett · 29/04/2018 10:33

It depends on if you've raised your issues with him and told him how unhappy you are.

If you've given him endless chances and he still doesn't change his behaviour, then yes, enough is enough.

Hmm what RavenLg said.
Speak to him. Give him an opportunity to fix up if its not forthcomming then think about your options

I think you have to lay it on the line. A baby changes a relationship - and sometimes men don’t step up when they need to - is this your first child OP?

eddielizzard · 29/04/2018 19:18

when you envisage your future with him in 5 years time what do you feel?

talk and give him a chance, but i think i'd be postponing that wedding
