Hi,
I'm having a really difficult time with my husband. We had our LG 4 months ago who is my absolute world. Parenting has not come easy to my husband and he wants to to bare minimum. I do ALL the night feeds and I mean every single one. He's never so much as bought her a nappy. He probably spends an hour max with her on weekdays and that's on a very good day sometimes it's 10 minutes at her bedtime. She's never been the best sleeper and I'm up several times during the night, however, the past few nights I've had maybe 2 hours a night in total so am feeling extremely sleep deprived. I have asked my husband is there anything he can help me with and he's said no he's up for work in the morning. He goes to bed at 9 and gets up at 7! I could only dream of one night like this.
Anyway, my mental health has started to decline and I get fleeting feelings to self harm. I had a total emotional breakdown this morning and instead of supporting me he went on the defensive. I begged him for help and he said he can't support me as the feelings aren't the same and he feels our marriage is dead then sent me screen shots of how to get divorced. Then he says he doesn't want to get divorced but I'm forcing his hand. All while I'm telling him I'm worried I'm going to do something bad to myself. I feel this is pretty sick and don't really feel I can be with him anymore but I don't want my LG being in a broken home. I'm terrified at the prospect of him meeting someone who isn't good to my girl and think should I stay to keep my family together?
Sorry I know this is a book but there is so much more to this story. Any advice would be so appreciated I'm at my wits end!
