God I don't even know where to start me and my partners have been together 8 years now I am 25 as is he. We have a 5 year old, 4 year old and I am currently pregnant. I feel everyday there is not much conversation between us he's at work am at uni come home I do mainly everything with the kids and spend much more time with them as he is at work alot, so I feel I have a much better relationship with the kids and it makes me resentful towards him. He doesn't pull his weight around the house and I am left to do everything unless I ask about 10x for him to do something, any time I bring up how I feel to him he tells me am too emotional or am exsagurating!!. I do care alot about him and love him but don't want to particularly have sex with him!. When we are at home together in in the bedroom and he sits in livingroom I always go to bed alone as he always stays up late and I dont. The main problem is I don't feel I ever can voice an opinion and for him to take it on board. I am stuck in a weird position and obviously having 2 soon to be 3 kids makes it all the more complicated I feel like I am 10+ years more mature than him. He does have good points obviously but I feel all the caring parts of him I loved have vanished and are not coming back. How long do you give a situation to change before you completely give up?

It sounds like you possibly need to set aside some time for each other so that you can try to rediscover what it was that made your relationship great in the first place. What about say, date night once a month with a baby sitter in place?

Floydian, date night? I think they need to sort out her partner pulling his weight round the house and oth his children first.

Tell him you need to have a serious talk. Lay it all out for him one more time. Tell him how serious it is. If he doesn’t get on board with making any changes, doing his fair share of everything, then maybe you need to think seriously about whether you want to be with him or not.
