Just that really.
I've been with my partner for 6 years. We have 3 kids together all aged 4 and under.
He goes through stages of never being around. He'll sleep at my house sometimes, but prefers to be at his mums. When he wakes up here at mine, he leaves straight away in the morning and doesn't return until about 10pm on the nights he stays.
He does nothing for our kids apart from the occasional lift to here or there, the odd story in bed once every blue moon, a cuddle once every few days. But he doesn't change nappies, doesn't do feeds, all the essentials etc.
He loves to go out partying and being around everyone and anyone really.
He pokes fun at my appearance a lot and especially my weight, I'm 12st and he bangs on as if I'm 20 st. Not that it matters what I weigh but he puts me down a lot. He says he's joking but it's very persistent.
He's 25 and I just think he really doesn't want to move on from his teenage years.
I know I love him too much to leave him without feeling a huge heartbreak, and I would never get over him. Our relationship isn't toxic, we just have annoying problems.
So, what are your thoughts? These are things I put up with daily and I think I've gotten used to them but now am starting to feel like I have no idea what a normal relationship is supposed to be like. Never mind a family. I want the best for our kids and don't get me wrong he gives them the love they need but that's all. I don't want them growing up thinking he's a slack.
No bashing please. Thanks for reading.
