I don’t even know what’s wrong. But I know I can’t stand my husband and feel there is nothing between us. I am miserable whenever he’s in the house!
Well, i think it’s got a lot to do with my tiredness - we have a just 1 year old who has never slept longer than 3/4 hour stretches and the fact I feel resentful that I’m the only one who gets up in the night (if I kick husband to go to baby he just appears back at my side holding baby out saying “he won’t settle for me”). Add to this the fact I work full time (we both do) and I earn more money than him, and yet I shoulder the majority of childcare, school stuff, cooking and house/life admin (Aka the mental load.)
Also he’s just so miserable and negative all the time (but then so am I guess if he’s around, though I turn on my positive face with the kids and with my friends). All he does is moan about the kids or tell them off or ignore them. He’s too busy getting through Netflix boxsets to engage with me or the kids.
Anyway they’re all tiny silly things but altogether I just can’t be doing with him anymore. Hes a selfish and miserable man who never thinks of me or our children. He didn’t even get me a Christmas present and he ruined Christmas Day by ignoring the kids who desperately wanted to play with him and then having a big ding dong with his mum and sister.
I’ve gotten to the point where every time he open his mouth I’m pissed off.
So?
How do I get back from these feelings? How do I get out of this situation - either out out or by getting happiness back in our relationship?
What is going on in my head?
I just don’t know what to make of it all and need some perspective.
