So since I've been pregnant my husband goes out 2/3 times a week don't come home and stays and drinks at his mates house. I kick off over text we row and don't speak for a few days. This has been going on throughout my ENTIRE pregnancy.
Monday night it happened again but this time he came in at midnight we didn't speak next day he packed his stuff said he needs a few days. It's now Thursday he told me he's not coming back till Sunday and we will talk then as he needs space. I'm 37 weeks pregnant hw doesn't answer my calls or nothing. He ignores me. I don't know what to do I'm an absolute mess

Sorry OP. I would brace yourself. It sounds as if he has checked out of the marriage. Did this come out of the blue? Presumably a planned pregnancy and no sign of him checking out before TTC? I would suggest you don't text him again. Don't be home on Sunday when he deigns to drop by and grace you with his presence. Take back control. Lean on your friends and family for support. Don't cover for him. Start making your own plans and keep busy.

So sorry op but prepare to be a single parent.
His behaviour also suggests another woman on the go.

@DianaT1969 yup planned pregnancy. I think so too. I'm so afraid of being in my own.
I've braved and told my mum and my sister. Just feel helpless

Where does he say he's been staying?

Could you tell his family about his behaviour? I'd tell everyone tbh.

@Whatsnewpussyhat s as t his mates toms house which I know he has as I've stupidly drive round there at night to check. His mate Tom loves a drink!!

I've told him mum she is livid and went crazy at him not that it done any good as he continues to do it

His behaviour is unfair. You deserve so much more. It sounds like there is someone else :(

Being a single parent (and co parenting) is preferable (IMO) to trying to maintain a romantic relationship with the father of your kids when they are such an absolute selfish prick. Imagine if a woman said they weren't going to come home, they needed space, so the dad needs to suck it up and look after the kid(s) at a minutes notice and be kind about it. Fuck that.
