Recently fed up of OH communication. Tonight hes gone out since evening, doesn't pick up and has done this a few times in the past few weeks sometimes doesn't even tell me he will be home late. Ive spent weekend at family's as hes constantly working and i needed a little break..

He was very much like this few years back aswell, drinking with mates, not keeping me updated etc

Is this supposed to be normal
I feel like i dont even trust him as he has lied few times about where he was going in the past also.

Fed up just feel like ending it with this man

That voice inside you is the real you, Sarnia. The heart, core, and strength of you. And you consistently silence her.

Your children might resent anything. I resented my mum staying in an unhealthy relationship with my dad, and not leaving him and taking me with her. Don't labour under the misapprehension that staying will make your relationship with your kids good. They will respect you if you do the right thing by them, and that's not to keep them in a home with an unhappy, disrespectful relationship between their parents.

Have a think about why you silence that true part of yourself; where did you learn to do that? For most it's because their feelings were not respected by their primary caregivers when they were kids. Did your parents listen to you? Understand you? Respect you? Has that real you ever been heard and taken care of?
