I’ve been with my husband for 6 years and married for 3, he works away during the week and is only at home weekends or holidays.
The past few weekends he hasn’t been home as he has had to work and to be honest I really enjoyed him not being here and this may sound terrible but I have been dreading him coming home this weekend.
Most weekends are the same when he home he will either have his son from a previous relationship all weekend or go out drinking. The weekends he hasn’t been home have been a breath of fresh air as I’ve not had to pick up after them both or put up with him being drunk.
I do think about leaving but I can’t afford it at the moment. This weekend he has his son and I have just felt belittled the whole weekend. I noticed he bought some beers for tonight so made a joke that he would have a sore head in the morning and I just got talked down too and accused of moaning so I have spent the whole day in my bedroom out the way. Even if we were speaking the living room gets taken over with what they want to watch on tv and if I put anything on they talk all over it.
I’ve just really had enough and never felt so miserable in my whole life. I don’t even have any close friends to talk to anymore.
