End of our marriage

I’ve been with my husband 5 years, married for 3 and we have 2 amazing children 3 and 1. Before we were even married his mother has been an interference and caused so many arguements and problems between us. He’s never told her to stop or that she has caused problems but I said she will be the end of us. I’m at the end of my tether. I don’t feel anything towards him anymore. Our son is 18 months old and we’ve had sex twice. The second time I thought would maybe spark something back but it was emotionless. I felt nothing it was just sex. I hate the way he shouts and swears at the kids when they’re play up. Our youngest has never slept through the night so ends up in our bed every night and he just can’t seem to deal with his frustrations without lashing out. I don’t know if I really want to be in this marriage but I also don’t know how I can cope without. I also hate the thought of him taking our children away to see his mum who is the opposite side of the country from where I’m from. I guess I’m just looking for anyone who’s been there and maybe I just need to say it out loud before my head explodes. If you got this far thank you

How do you feel about him having them 50% ?
Are you working and able to support yourself ?

Well you can leave a relationship for any reason, and if you feel nothing it would be wrong to stay.
If maybe you do feel something but you're both incredibly stressed out by the sleeping situation then actively work on sleep training together. I'm not surprised you've had sex twice with a baby in your bed every night. He is handling it poorly, absolutely. But did he vent this normally first and it was brushed off? It's hard to say anything without both sides of the story. Not sure what his mom has to do with anything. Sounds like you just don't want it anymore, but you want someone else to blame? If you want to leave, then leave lovely.
