My marriage is over because my husband takes half hour shits

Well obviously it's not that simple, but it's symptomatic.
Today I've just had enough.
I do every bloody night with the non sleeping kids. Husband has had beautiful sleep in the spare room since dc1 was born 8 years ago because he "has insomnia so can't cope with disrupted sleep".
Well fuck me, I haven't had a whole nights sleep in 8 years. This week I had 2. Lie insurance (only to 8am, but normally up at 5.30/6 with the toddler), and he's moaning about being ill and tired.
Today he hasthe day off. I've been awake since 4am with the toddler and done all the morning jobs etc. He gets up at 8am, sorts his own breakfast, potters around ignoring the kids, then disappears off for a half hour shit.
Well I'm just the SAHM so I suppose the kids and house are my job, but bollocks to that I've had enough. I've got my own part time job now, have squirrelled away some savings. At least as a single mum I'd get the odd weekend off for visitation. I've not had even a night out in 5 years.... While of course he has had weekends away and nights out with mates.
I'm currently upstairs leaving him to deal with the kids for 5 minutes. The trouble is he gets shouty and scares them which is why I've been reluctant to force the issue, but I'm at breaking point and noone seems to give a shit.

Afternoon,

Just letting you know that we've deleted a number of posts on this thread which we felt were not in the spirit of the site.

The OP's clearly going through a very difficult time and came here for advice and support - it's a shame that some of the responses she's received have meant she's now left the thread (though we can see that she's also received many helpful posts).

As the OP's mentioned that her husband 'gets shouty and scares the DC' and also punches walls in anger, we think it would be useful to add a link to the Women's Aid website. Please do think about giving them a call - their freephone number is 0808 2000 247. We also have a Domestic Violence webguide with links to other organisations which could give you support in real life.

OP, if you do return and would like us to move this thread over to our Relationships topic, please let us know. We really hope you're okay. Flowers
