Anyone else been in this situation? Things haven't been right with my husband and I for a long time. We have tough patches and then things settle down for a while and we're ok for a bit. We are arguing a lot of the time. Any time I raise anything (even just the smallest things that would just require a yeah sure) he always has an answer back for EVERYTHING. He never takes any ownership of his mistakes or apologises for anything. I appreciate I'm not an angel in all this. I'm exhausted all the time and my patience is low. I don't get any break whatsoever, have no help and feel quite isolated. I just can't take it anymore. We have three children (one baby) and I can see it is affecting them which I hate to see and it's that that's breaking me more than anything. I know it would also break my older children's heart to be away from their dad if we did split up. He is great at being the 'fun dad' but I predominantly do all the 'caring' and hard parts of being a parent. If one of them is doing something they shouldn't, he may or may not say something and then just gives up if they don't listen which leaves me to be the one to sort it out/be the parent who guides them through what is/isn't the right thing to do etc. If we didn't have children we would have broken up by now. I just think we are existing and going through the motions. There's no good conversations and he never makes me laugh. It's just not the life I pictured for myself or my children. I just don't know what we'd do. I don't see how I could afford to be on my own and it would break my heart to be away from my children. At the same time I know it is damaging for them to have a poor relationship as a role model. Is there any way back or how do I navigate out? Helpful guidance would be much appreciated.
